They have tons of bait profiles. If you're not paying you get likes and messages from cute guys, then you pay and those guys are nowhere to be found. We should start a class action lawsuit, Match paid out a bundle for the same thing.Spark Networks Services GmbH

We are sorry to hear you feel this way, Christy! We would like to assure you that Zoosk does not create any fake profiles and if a profile disappears, it is usually due to them being blocked and removed by our team, or them deactivating their profile. We prioritize our users' safety and have a team dedicated to the removal of any fake profiles. If you come across any suspicious activity on Zoosk, please report it to us immediately so we can investigate and take action. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our support team. Thank you!Review fromLinda N

Jdate is the WORST dating app! The members are outdated (no longer active, but still shown on the "active" list!!!), the site does not work properly (you cannot see more than the SAME 10 people, and even though I am now NO LONGER A MEMBER, I am NOW getting emails from potential dates. Jdate will NOT unsubscribe me and I still get emails every day. There is ZERO customer service. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY - the SITE IS AWFUL and OUTDATED. ** Note - I would give a negative 10 star rating but I am unable to leave this review without checking at least one star.Spark Networks Services GmbH

I joined Elitesingles.com in January of 2023 and have been sending chat messages in addition to speaking to customer service on one day. Have not been able to reach anyone in a few weeks to change my profile. I am 6 feet tall and someone put incorrect information about my height and it has me a 5 foot 9. It also has my name spelled as "Lyn" instead of Lynne. There is a help page and I have sent my message several times, Spoke to one person, a few week ago and this person told me that my information would be changed quickly. There are men at 5 foot 9 or close to it who think that I am that height. They may not want to date a 6 foot tall woman. They are sending me smiles and messages and this isn't fair to any of us. One phone number has a recording that says are experiencing something and will be available when they resolve something. Another number, which as a 646 area code, rings with a fax noise. There is no one responding and I am paying for this service. If you have a way of contacting them, please do that.Spark Networks Services GmbH

It is clear that this company populates their app with fake profiles. They’re not even smart enough to try to hide it. Periodically one receives likes from “people“ who are not accessible, who don’t really reply, and it’s all done to provide the carrot to keep people interested, but after a while, it’s insulting and very clear. Yes, there are people on the app that are legitimate but the activity of these fake robot profiles makes the app a waste of money and time. Some of the profiles have pictures of young men of color and yet the profile indicates that the person is Caucasian. Some profiles say somebody is in their mid-50s but clearly it’s a 20 year old. Stealing from people is a crime. Lying to customers to through fake profiles is a crime because the whole value of a dating app is it’s database of potential dates/mates. This company and others like it should be investigated as fraudulent and criminal. If I could give it, no stars I would have.Spark Networks Services GmbH

DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS DATING SITE! Customer Service is horrible. They take your money and when you want to cancel they do not let you and still charge your original method of payment. It has been days and they have ignored my emails to customer service. I hope they do not reply to this and tell me to reach out to customer service.... I did that and no response. They took payment from me last week through July! They will not let me cancel. Please do not sign up with this company.Spark Networks Services GmbH

Please do not be fooled by this dating site. I signed up and failed to receive a welcome email and I was unable to log in to view matches. It has been over two weeks and I have not been able to use the password I used to set up the account. I tried to reset the password and was told to check my email for the link and to no avail. Nothing is in the email I used not even in my spam. I have been trying to reach out to them and finally, when I got their contact info, I was informed they cannot locate my account, but they were able to bill my card funny. I was told to locate a code under the email I have no access to under their name. I am so disappointed because I cannot even cancel my membership due to being unable. These are scammers and I do not know how they are getting away with it. Shame on you Silver singles you do not deserve a star, but I am forced to rate you as I cannot send the review without one. You should be rated 0/0.Spark Networks Services GmbH

Warning to all - I made the mistake of purchasing a 6 month premium in February 2022. After months of mostly fake profiles, I cancelled my subscription, removed my payment info from the account, and turned off the automatic renewal. I reported the subscription renewal in September 2022 as unauthorized. It was removed from my account. Then two weeks later Elite Singles AGAIN makes an unauthorized withdrawal from my account. When I contact Elite Singles Customer Service I am told: "Regrettably, we will not be able to refund the renewal of your subscription. The right to a refund expires after 3 days of the initial purchase of your Premium membership." According to the above response my right to refund of my September 2022 subscription payment expired 6 months BEFORE the renewal. In order to preserve my right to a refund in September 2022, I would have had to cancel in February 2022 - within 3 days of the initial subscription!! This has to be illegal.Spark Networks Services GmbH
