There's a ton of fake profiles on mingle2. The blank profiles with the professional studio portrait type profile pictures are fakes.
The current scam is bitcoin trading. A modelesque profile picture hit me up using proper English and proper punctuation wanted me to go off the site to WhatsApp then proceeded to direct me to STRIKE app. I bailed on this knowing it was a scam. Modelesque profile pics hitting me up then proceeding to talk about bitcoin is a huge red flag to me. Other profiles want to go offsite claiming they don't use mingle 2 is another red flag to me. One redeeming factor I see is your credit card is safe since headquarters are in California.

I got my rough draft profile put up on this site and by the next day there users indicating an interest in me. From what I saw the profiles are genuine. There appears to be something for everyone on here. I haven't encountered any scammers as of yet. I wouldn't base the whole site on my limited experience with it though. There are online forums where users rate the site according to their experience. Some have an issue with the quality of the website. Others report problems with paid subscriptions. Give this site an honest chance but tread carefully.

I didnt get very far into their site. They'd probably be OK if they had a better website. My screen kept on sticking and was even hard to get out of. Aggressive pop ups ruin a users experience. I shopped somewhere else for glasses at comparable prices.

I tried to order off this as a Capitalone shopper saving 7%. Come to find out everybody is offered 7% off. I plugged in all my info then the site stops the transaction saying they couldn't verify something or other while your credit card got dinged anyway.
Lots of these obscure shops doing that.
Cheap clothing items.

I almost bought an e-scooter from this outfit and they almost scammed me off my credit card. Luckily my World Elite Mastercard company spotted duplicate charges repeated right up to my credit limit! The credit card fraud team stopped all the fraudulent charges, even the charge I thought was legitimate. If I would have used a debit card for this transaction I would be alone in my struggle with the fraudsters. The experts say to never use a debit card except for ATM use, preferably at a bank ATM because you don't get 0 liability or a fraud team when using a debit card.
After being informed of all the malarkey they tried to pull on my credit card, I tried talking to 1800 wheelchairs customer service. I could barely understand her and I doubt they understand much English. They sub out their customer service to India to workers who read from a script and you get nowhere with them if you have a complaint, all they are programmed to do is collect money. This speaks for itself. After reading all the negative reviews for this company Im glad my relationship with 1800 wheelchairs was terminated by a credit card that consistently goes to bat for their customers.

I like the fact that i can link two accounts to my credit cards to make payments with. My Capital One cards both have a low limit but they redeem themselves by letting me pay as i go 2 or 3 times a month. Whats weird is sometimes a purchase will post yes⁸9⁹terday and be due today with tomorrow being late. I know its my fault but why is it i purchase something which posted yesterday with payment being due today and it being late tomorrow?

I applied for the Chase Amazon Visa Signature card since i do a lot of online shopping off the Amazon.com website. I got a $150 Amazon gift card as a welcome bonus from Chase. It is a virtual gift card which was added to my Amazon account. I tried to use it but when i select something to buy i get a message saying that they don't ship to, or wont ship to my address.
The site says nothing about my payment being declined, they are silent about that, i am being refused because Amazon says they cant deliver to my address. Amazon always used to ship to me, right up until the bonus gift card was added as default payment method. Nobody else has a problem shipping my address. I have a normal unremarkable address thats been on the map for over 50 years and these past few years Amazon packages have had no problem coming to me. All of a sudden Amazon wont ship to me anymore. The only thing that has changed is my payment method, that is the gift card i got from the credit card company which was pre-loaded onto my Amazon account. I tried a bunch of items to see if its just the jeans i wanted but its everything even stuff I don't want im getting a message that Amazon wont ship to my address. No other vendor claims they cant ship to me it is only Amazon. When Amazon added the gift card to my payment method i cant order anything because no matter what i select off the site i get a message that shipping is unavailable to my address. Thank you Chase for nothing.

I got on this site to buy some i-bonds in late April. I misunderstood that in order to get the high rate i had to "buy now", in a big rush. I instead got the old rate and won't be seeing the 9 point whatever percent rate. You can also buy T-bills here also. The site has a security feature where they ask you questions to verify its you. I answered most of the questions when i was required to only answer 3 of the questions and remember which 3 questions i answered. I locked myself out of the site which necessitated a call to customer service. I was on hold 45 minutes but most redemptively the CSR was an American who spoke English YaY!
This site appears to be somewhat old school but there is a lot of financial education to be picked up there.

I am relatively new to credit. I had less than one year in but at the time held a credit builder Quicksilver card which ramped my scores up to about 740 all around. I kept getting messages saying I was preapproved, matched, and etc for the Discover It card. I applied and was instantly approved for a $1000 line of credit which i wasnt too worried about. After i was approved for the card i read a few forums on the Discover It card. I learned cardholders accounts are being suspended and new applicants, along with select others, are getting hit with a request to sign IRS form 4506 for release of X number of years tax records. IRS Form 4506r must be completed to continue on with Disco. They say they need it for income verification. They are not accepting any alternative means to verify income. Peoples credit is getting reeled in and some cases stopped because of discrepancies in the 4506 findings or a refusal to comply with the request. My plastic Discover It card finally arrived by mail. There is a sticker on the face of the card that has a telephone number you are supposed to call to activate the card. I called and instead if activating the card I said, "Lets just forget about activating this card, i dont want it, please cancel me out". The banker i was on the phone with asked a couple questions to make sure I didn't want to activate the card and to go ahead and cancel this card which she did forthwith. Im against sharing my tax info to a third party corporate. Disco has selected Equifax to verify cardholder's income but a corporate is known to sort thru, buy, sell, or broker my tax records potentially uncovering political contributions, healthcare, and lifestyle which can certainly be gleened from a tax record examination. The more info you put into cyberspace the bigger chance of data mishaps. The potential for a data breach, or other $#*!-a-doodie all involved in determining my credit worthiness isnt worth it IMHO. My scores did a spectacular nosedive on that fiasco but i quickly recovered in just 3 or 4 months. I applied to others and now have 3 big league cards. I dont need Disco riding in my wallet. No thank you please.

This site will supposedly figure your financial. It almost does except it didn't want to accept my checking account or other credit card to do their figuring off of. I have a paid membership which was great when I only had once card but now I have 3 active cards which this system won't let me upload. As much as things get hacked these days it's probably best I abandon this site because I don't really need it anymore.

  • Equifax

You should probably watch your Equifax score before you make a move because they can be a month or so behind. If your score improved lately it is going to take Equifax some time to catch up. This is the consumer reporting agency the industry has delegated to evaluate your tax records for card eligibility or continued card elegibility. Equifax resolves all disputes quickly.

I can spend hours on line looking at looking at the same "type". I go out in public broad daylight and spot the type im looking for and actually speak with someone, sometimes more. I began dating long before there were sites, apps, even the interwebs so a real life offline woman is where my mind is. Id like to find someone my age and single. Theres a lot of people who construct a profile load pics and such without further participation on the site.

This is another scam site inasmuch as you will get loads of computer generated messages from in house made profiles. Im able to spot fake pics and profiles. Heres how: professional photos of modelesque women having no background stuff. The profiles are characteristically not completed. I live in a rural state which just does not have the diversity this site depicts. Run a deep image search and what you find should be telling. The object of the site operators is to get your money. Thats just one reason i never pay for adult sites. Another reason is im not very keen on sending financial info to off shore high risk credit processors. The legalese in the terms is one sided in their favor. Your lawyer is of no help since its doubtful theyre admitted to a foreign bar or licensed to practice there. You will undoubtedly get screwed thinking you have stopped the automatic billing or deduction from your card account. By using a debit card this outfit requires a bank connected card. I guess everybody knows all of this so thats all i have to say except finding a willing partner is much easier off line in real life.

More online cupids for you to pay chat with. Another high risk off shore credit processor. When i began filling out a profile i was bombarded with IM's before i finished filling it out. I left the site before i got started.
Nothing to get excited about here.
