I canceled my subscription. Same people on there now and when I was on a few years ago. I should have used or asked God for wisdom before joining. I did ask for my money back and got a text message saying it was no refundable. I may file a “very unsatisfactory Christian dating service experience” with BBB for the purposes of further investigation. One person I did connect with was removed from the site. The current person I’m communicating with may not even be a” verifiable” person. He was uncomfortable providing his name to me so I could verify who he is, age and his address, which is about all you can find on these “people” verifying services on-line. DO NOT RECOMMEND CHRISTIAN MINGLE Christian dating service to anyone and I made a mistake, God forgive me for not being more wise about my choice. Respectfully submitted as Judeo Christian believer in Yeshua Jesus. Karen P.Spark Networks Services GmbH

I tried Silver Singles THREE TIMES. Each time, 95% of the profiles were scammers. Total garbage site. I will never use them again. Their vetting process sucks.Spark Networks Services GmbH

No NOT use SilverSingles! They send you matches which are mostly fake or on the other side of the State! Horrible app and you can’t search, you have to wait for matches. Again, 90% of matches are FAKE that never look at your profile! Stay far, far away from this scam site!Spark Networks Services GmbH

Beth B Following completing my profile last Friday, which included detailed questionnaire responses and photo uploads, I subscribed to Elite Singles for three months. The day after registering, I encountered persistent login issues with repeated "session expired" messages. Attempts to contact Elite's customer service by phone were futile, as the provided number on BBB was non-functional. Reviewing the Better Business Bureau exposed numerous similar complaints from clients who could not access the after-payment. Subsequently, despite my reservations, I contacted customer support via email, where I was asked to provide sensitive information such as my password or driver's license photos. Despite complying, it took three days to regain access to my account, only to find my subscription payment refunded against my request to resolve the login issue. Since then, every attempt to renew my subscription has been thwarted by a recurring message: "billing service is currently unavailable. Try again later." Despite emailing customer support Wednesday about this ongoing issue, I have received no response and remain unable to access the chat feature on the site. I removed my photos to prevent others from misinterpreting my lack of response as neglect, when in reality, it is the system that impedes my ability to communicate on the chat until payment It has now been over a week since these issues began, and I am disappointed with both the service and system of Elite Singles. Such prolonged delays in resolving basic access issues are unacceptable.Spark Networks Services GmbH

Message sent to Spark Networks: I am a premium Silver singles subscriber. Since making my payment, I have been unable to log in online or via the app. I either receive nonsensucal error messages, says the server is not currently working, tells me to choose the correct country as my details cannot be found, sends me to Captcha then nothing, etc. Thus, I am paying for a service I cannot use. Please fix the issue or refund my subscription. Thanks. I contacted Customer Support. No response after 3 days. Still waiting. Will likely have to dispute charge with bank.Spark Networks Services GmbH

I signed up for Zoosk with my name Danielle as my user id. A week later I wanted to message prospective matches. I paid for a month subscription . Upon doing so I became locked out of my account. I tried to multiple times via phone and computer to reset password and no email allowing me to do so was sent. I was then sent an email that my user id didn’t not meet their guidelines- my user name was Danielle and was fine for days. Then I contacted support and was told to send my driver’s license and/or passport because my profile showed “inconsistencies”. I refused because the BOT they used refused to name said “inconsistencies”. I have asked that my picture and profile be completely removed and filed fraud with my credit card company. My name I signed up is the same name on my credit card- I should not have to send passport/ drivers license ?? for “inconsistencies- when they cannot name what inconsistencies they are talking about. My profile just had pictures- I was in the process of writing more. Beyond frustrating, disappointing and disgusted .Spark Networks Services GmbH

First I do have a paid subscription since Mid March 2024. I Got a message someone wants to meet me on Zoosk.; I responded and can't even see if message was sent. If one pays one can see if it was read like most everything else they want more money they have no real Help system and it was Not Clearly Shown Prior to enrollment that only paid members can communicate. I doubt I will continue my subscription, because one gets very little for the money. Seems unless the recieving party also has a subscription not much communication can happen. Most everything else one has to pay additional money, to ad insult to injury, the message remove the Lady I sent the message to in the first place. A rating of 1(One) is to high for this company. Note the same company runs a lot of same type sites that maybe just as useless so buyer be ware.Spark Networks Services GmbH

We're sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, Rafael! We understand your concern when it comes to received messages and would like to inform you that certain features of our app are only accessible after payment, as this enables us to keep working on improving the app even more. At Zoosk, we aim to provide a platform where members can connect and communicate effectively, with our Premium Messaging feature, all users have the ability to reply to messages, regardless of whether they're paid subscribers or not. If you experience any issues with message disappearances, it's often due to the recipient removing their profile, Zoosk removing it for security reasons, or the possibility that the member has blocked further communications. If you have any concerns or suggestions for improvement, please feel free to get in touch with our dedicated customer support team again and we'll be happy to improve your experience with us. Thank you!Review fromGirard K.

First, Zoosk charged my credit card TWICE on the same day for renewal. February 9, 2024. Once for $53.94. The second time for $69.95. Total for the two is $123.89. Secondly, multiple attempts to contact Zoosk for clarification have failed. I can find no direct phone numbers for customr service. I can find no email addresses for customer service. Third, I called a contact number listed on my credit card statement. I got an answering service recording that began with a series of sales pitches for products and/or services, all of which are/were unsolicited and a waste of my time. This was/is an exacerbating insult. It appears that the only way to establish contact is electronically. And for all I know that might be infused with artificial intelligence. Finally, Zoosk policy on payment is NO REFUNDS. And renewal is AUTOMATIC, meaning that a member is blind sided by the appearance of a renewal on a credit card. If it were possible I would rate their service a negative five stars. In my view, Zoosk is a scam in a number of ways, starting with their having stolen $123.89 from me via charges against my credit card. (See other one star reviews.) The only thing Zoosk has done is deactivate my profile; but Zoosk keeps sending to me possible matches in their attempt to suck me back into reactivation. I wish there were some way to destroy Zoosk.Spark Networks Services GmbH
