Dating Factory

I've already written a review of these nothing less than fraudsters (fake profiles etc) but wanted to add that it may not be obvious that the site you on or interested in is a Dating Factory site so be sure to check, somewhere it will day something like "powered by the Dating Factory". If you see that then run. Please also google Tania Fathers the one founder and send whatever company she's got a high powered job at a stinky email telling them of her fraud.

They just send random canned messages from members all over the world. Then you have to fax in a signed form to cancel your membership! Still not sure if they will actually stop debiting my account as I have heard others have still had their accounts debited even after faxing in the signed form.

I have seen better but also much worse!

A whole bunch of negative reviews on sitejabber... but usually people don't levae reviews unless they are unhappy.

3/5 for most of their sites. I did not find them bad at all!

Scam site no people on here are real only the ones that have been scammed, some profiles live on industrial estates dont get how...
No one ever replies to your messages 200 sent messages 0 replies.
Avoid like c19

Datingfactory.com, advertises footfedish partners. Once they get credit card payment, they give you womens profiles to hook up with - all over the WORLD. That is totally useless. They don't give refunds on your card or complaint. If I could sue them I would!

datingfactory.com seem to be alive and well and still encouraging people to sign up. I am interested in starting a dating site in an already saturated market but i will still make a go of it. Its sad to see the disappointing experiences you have had. Customer service should be as excellent as the product/ service provided. I found this article http://onlinedatingpost.com/archives/2013/08/big-changes-online-dating-white-label-provider-landscape/
Has anyone been impacted by this? Its an old article but any info would still be valuable

Not only did they lock me into an extra month of paying, the people who contacted me were either robots or something. They send you mail making you think someone is interested in you, and the only way to read the mail is if you upgrade. I was very disappointed.

This dating deleted my profile claiming I had posted objectionable material despite the fact that t I use the exact same profile narrative, photo and form of communication to reach out to other members on other dating websites.

Affiliate marketing isn't cut for everyone - only those truly know how to bring quality and relevant traffic can hope to score a success. I don't get you get angry at Dating Factory - they gave us all a stick and a lake to fish in, but some of us go home with a full bucket of fish!
In my book, they are a perfect partner to work with, always helpful and there to help me optimize on performance, always paying on time, and I couldn't be happier with epc.

They scammed by intellectually disabled son out of over AU$1000. He joined Disabled DatingClub.com.au for 2 weeks but the fine print that he obviously did not comprehend provides for automatic renewal unless there is a formal withdrawal by fax and email. There were also no legitimate contacts on this dating website; a total scam.

This company started on a good note but has gone bad within the last 2 years. As a partner affiliate they have inconsistent policies that change all the time making it hard to promote. The account mangers are a bunch boobs without knowledge of marketing and are stuck with what they see and not what is needed to promote their product and only agree to what is set by a higher up boob. The conversion rate is poor because DF sends spammy emails that are 'supposed' to get member. Upgrades... no stars for this bloody bunch of euro scammers.

Don't sign up as a member, they try to make extra money from any of your little or big needs. Lastly after a couple of "starters" or however they call them I had suddenly got my money back. There was no special reason and they were prepared to make it undone but they asked € 25 administration costs. See more on my blog datingsites dot pinkdating dot eu

Conversions are very low (or that's what stats shows), some months, hundreds of real registrations with active users with no sales. Sometimes you have chargesback from users higher than comissions (or that's what stats shows), so you have TO PAY THEM. Too much fails on affiliate's panel and stats and support give random answers but they do not solve anything, it seems they are kidding you. It worked well when I started with them years ago. Now I'm sending more traffic, more registrations, more countries, I have more websites and conversions are lower ¿? Now is one of the dating affiliate programs less profitable.

Fake profiles, fake messages, extortionate charges for non-payment, threats of debt collection and misleading email campaigns. If you sign up for free then they send emails saying people sent you messages. Then you sign up but you still cannot read. Unless you go VIP. Then you find they are all fakes. Then if you cancel they will demand surcharge and threaten further action. Steer clear.

I continually get money deducted from my credit card from this company and i have no idea what this company is nor do I visit Dating sites. I have to fight with my credit card company every month to take off the charge. People need to report this company to the police!

I really really don't understand how such a long standing platform is run in this way. We've been with Dating Factory and another provider for years now. Due to frustrations and poor tools, we have earnt next to nothing on this platform, while on another I turnover a very comfortable income. I find Dating Factory immensley frustrating and out of date. Prices for members are too high and the platform offers no custom pricing to be set per site. The promo tools like their member list tool is so out dated. I seem to make headway for a while, then there is a shift in staff and I'm back to square 1. Lately however, there has been some hosting updates leaving the admin platform barely responsive. There is sooo much potential here, just marred with hickups and patchy to none existent at times comms. It's almost like the platform to to be re-launched after a diet.

I have several domains which would have fit perfectly on the DatingFactory, as their site is seemingly put together well for potential affiliates. I reached out a couple of times to them via their online contact form but NO REPLY. That sent back a 'red flag' to me and I subsequently found negative reviews on SiteJabber and thank those who took the time to post reviews - as it has saved me from wasting more of my time with them. STAY AWAY!

They commit to a purchase, but, never pay. Send many invoices and get zero response. Just tie up your inventory. About as unprofessional as you can get.

DatingFactory is based in Switzerland.

Someone from the Switzerland's Federal Department of Economic Affairs had this to say:

Providing false or misleading information to consumers might be considered a criminal offence under the Federal Act against Unfair Competition. If you wish you may file a criminal complaint with the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Canton of Zug where the company is based. In your complaint you should state clearly why you think a criminal offence has been committed.

I am running my website on Dating Factory. Mostly I am very satisfied as they have various niches and I can reach many users with different interests.

I joined relatively recently as a partner and over the past few weeks I've started seeing and noticing things which are questionable and was wondering if anyone could provide some feedback or clarification about it?
If you're a partner, have you noticed a discrepancy between Google Analytics User Flow tool (which allows you to see a flow chart of user's page visits) showing users visiting the payments page and then member chat pages and other unknown pages, and the reports on DF which show no payments? I find this suspicious when you also consider the fact that you're not allowed to freely browse all the pages of your website and at least see the URL of the payments pages. Are they taking some of the money for themselves until I acquire a pre-determined number of live members?
Also, other affiliate businesses like Clickbank at least have the option to process payments via companies like Paypal so that the company cannot see your bank details. With DF you have to give them all your details and there is the option of adding photo ID!
Has anyone noticed these things I mentioned above?

When you're close to receiving commissions, they carry up your payout minimum amount. Very dishonest company. Stay away from this website, whether you are an affiliate marketer or a dating consumer.

I`M AN AFFILIATE AND I`VE EMAILED MY REFERRER(even though noone referred me), ACCOUNT MANAGER(also skyped account manager) AND 5 OTHER DEPARTMENTS WITH NO REPLY AT ALL. I joined my own site as a member and got a reply to a question the day after. Absolutely crap waste of time. I got someone else to join same time as me as a member and we both got the same emails from df and same email of 2 people. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE. I`ve also got a GOLD member who pays every month, yet my account only goes up 2 or 3 pence every so often, sad.
