I also had good experience with this site. Although I didn't find partner there but I had great fun with it. And what is even more, I have found many new friends to go out with or chat. I paid for 3 months subscription, followed cancellation process found on web. This site has a good content, fast, bit old-fashioned.
That's why it is a scam You subscribe for some months and after very poor or no results at all you cancel your subscription in order not to pay for a zero service. The problem is that your profile together with other thousands of profiles, that also cancelled their subscriptions for the same reason, remain in force, but these very profiles are just like ghosts because they cannot receive o send messages and that explains why, in your turn, you cannot receive an reply to your messages; Be2 says that They might have already connected with someone else, they might not have been active on the site, or, unfortunately, they might not be interested in chatting right now. Mind you "they might not have been active on the site" then why if they are not active on the site they are still there? Just to say that Be2 boasts thousands and thousands of members? I would say thousands and thousands of ghosts... I've been the victim of scam.

Its a 6/10 dating site for me. Not the worse out there but I prefer sites like wejustfit.com that are a tad more 'underground' and have people who know the internet better and IMHO are just more interesting
Quite like be2.co.uk. Good search system and busy site. Did have a small issue and had to call customer service, was disapointed that it wasnt UK based like the other site I use (WeJustFit.com) but thats a small complaint really. Its better than most sites and not having any problems with scammers so far. Descent enough value for money.
This site is quite okayish - it's bit cheesy and maybe bit outdated. I registered at be2.co.uk a long time ago and payed for trial product. It happened about 6-7 months ago and wanted to get over my loneliness. I got some matches, started to chat with girls from close by. After week or two I found my last girlfriend there. Though our relationship didn't last long, I was very happy in it. Because I cancelled the last profile, I have to register there once again and I hope I will find someone new.
I visited be2.co.uk randomly one year ago but back then I didn't have reason to register. Now it's different. Lately I broke up with my partner and as I am older and older it's always more difficult to find a new love. So I decided to try this dating site which is rather modern but nice layout. Thanks to this site I am now in contact with many interesting men. I can't comment now on months to come, but hope to find someone to spend my days with.
I have also had the same treatment, up to an including the threats from a debt collection agency when I stopped my subscription but the disgusting Be2.com fraudsters simply ignored it. The only thing one should do with Be2 is to report it to Action Fraud - http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ - which is the police site for reporting fraud and internet crime. The more people that report the site, the more likelihood that the police will take action against it and deal with the criminals behind it.
I signed up for what was described as a trial for £5.00 with this dating site, my cancellation date was given as 2/8/2010, I cancelled my subscription before the due date only to find that £149.94 was taken out of my account a couple of days later, when i complained to the company about this they informed me that I should have cancelled 7 days prior to my cancellation date? I have repeatedly sent emails to this company demanding they pay back my money but they are refusing, please do not use this dating site, the only emails you receive are computer generated and are not genuine. I have recently seen other complaints posted on the Internet about this company. Please be aware.
DISGRACEFUL. I have browsed dating sites before but never joined. I checked on line, be2 was rated in the top 10. Sounds ok right? I am ready to jump in. I should have checked further to see if you can buy your ad and place it in the top 10, because this site is an ABSOLUTE FRAUD. After I joined things got strange. I kept getting matches with broken English in their messages yet showing that they hold master or doctorate degrees in the profiles. Hmm ok maybe English is a second language for them. 2nd red flag - I received numerous messages with detailed flattering comments on my looks and personality. Information that I did not provide. Finally the same messages were cut and pasted but with different profile names. Come on, If you are going to SCAM at least be clever about it. I have only been a member for 3 weeks so I haven't even had to deal with the automatic renewal B. S. This site should be shut down. People - Do Not Waste Your Time or Money On This One!

I guess I've been bit gullible about dating and got pulled into be2 after seeing their ad on telly - it was really touchy, found only this one on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lVEXzWHw04.
Anyway I registered, after few days received promo offer and took my chances. So far i'm getting only messages from visitors and no replies on messages sent by me.
Positive thing is that customer service was helpful and suggested to change my preferences as this might be a limiting factor.
Be2 page seems to be working alright, no signs of delays or errors. However so far I'm not satisfied at all, if it wasn't for their agent I would give worse rating.
Ladies beware... this so called dating site is truly dreadful. Within 48 hours I was getting spammed... alot. Even worse, the site is full of bogus guys who send you mail (stolen picture, profile etc etc) claiming to be doctors, IT specialists... you name it. They ask for your personal email address early on - do NOT give this out. After 2-3 they are pretty easy to spot. English is very bad (but they all have masters degrees...) and they trip up on questions to do with their profile
I tried to cancel my membership and be2 made it incredibly difficult to cancel... they are just after your paypal or credit card details
Keep OFF THIS SITE...
Ive been using a few sites recently (We Just Fit being the pick of the bunch) but joined be2 last week and really liking it to boost my chances. Quite cool how many new people you can find when you try a new site with a fresh group of local people looking to date online. Its easy to join a site and have a couple of dates and then give up but you wouldnt stop eating fruit completely if you didnt like apples, so why not try a different site when your current option is not working for you?
I sent them their stupid cancellation letter which they apparently didn't receive. By the time I noticed they tried to charge my credit card, it was two months later! No letter was sent, nothing. Fortunately, the $133 euro they tried taking out wasn't in there and I had my card cancelled as Visa thought it was suspicious. They are still trying to take the money! I hadn't even filled out the profile! I joined as a means to make money through task work, signing up at be2 was one of the tasks.
They will not get a cent from me!
This site do not have any contact numbers. If you wish to cancel your subscription you have to write to them but they do not provide an address. They are based in Luxemburg. If you delete your profile you can not ever then log back in to cancel your subscription. You can not cancel you subscription without a code. They send this and then there is no where on the site to enter a code. I have looked up complaints on other sites and they apparently take a further £149.99 for 6 months if you can not cancel within 14 days. They make this impossible to do within the time scale by providing dead end cancellation details. You have to cancel you bank card in order to get rid of them.
I bought a subscription and after a few days testing I decided to cancel was I end up not liking the website. After requesting to cancel within the 14 days they instead of cancel, they only stop the subscription and told me that I could use until the end date. I reply questioning as I requested to cancel within the required time and return my money but they say NO. When you request cancel, means that I am not interested then return the payment that I made. Until now they didn´t return my money!
Firstly the advert that got my attention was false. It was showing me pictures of possible match's from my hometown. When i clicked on there pics, nothing. I tried many times.
The site also cleverly advertised there were many pictures and profiles for me to choose from. Again untrue, i was sent a few that the site thought i would like, It sent me profiles outside the specifics i requested and when I'd had enough i tried to cancel it and guess what? I couldn't. I then emailed be2. After 2 days i was emailed back with a phone number. I phoned got cut off. I phoned again and got through to a customer service rep called Gary. From the start he spoke over me and was defensive about anything i said. I did bring this to his attention, i do hope the call was recorded and they use if for future training on what not to do!
This site is the worse site i have tried, in my opinion, if your searching for just anyone then yes this is the site for you.
The sign of a good dating site is easy to join, inexpensive and easy to leave. Be2 is easy to join, but difficult to leave and expensive. When you join without paying you will get loads of emails to start with. As soon as you become a premium member you will find the mails dry up straight away. When you try and leave you will find no option to click and de-active. No they want signed and in writing, I had to write to them, scan it and email it to them. This site is all about making money, and raiding your debit card. AVOID!
Yes I have a question relating to the AREA section of my profile. Port Macquarie was my closest city according to you... But my closest cit is Coffs Harbour and I only want selections from that area... not Sydney or Perth for example Maybe your staff should look more closely at the choices give to us Australians
Rip off company! Even after 6 months cancelation they would withdraw the money from your bank accountI have sent them a several times an email asking to cancel my membership, however they keep taking money absolutely inappropriate unprofessional behaviorlow profile robbery
Exactly the same as many others. I tried to cancel and after a frustrating day trying to cancel online i was fordced to wait for access to a printer and fax which meantit was 6 days before my renewal date. 14 days after cancelling they robbed me of 149 pounds. I am asking my bank for a charge back but they say i need to contact them again after 14 days
Pretty quickly learn that the company is just set up to make cash and the people are not real! Impossible to get money back without threatening them. Awful site!
COMPLETE FRAUDSTERS! STEER CLEAR!
I tried to register my details and card details for the purposes of gaining some perks on a MMORPG website.
When I tried to register my card details, which I was told would be free for the first 10 days, all attempts failed and I was told that the transaction could not be completed.
This morning I got a phone call from my bank saying they had tried to put through 5 transactions, each for £89.50 from varying locations around the world; Luxembourg, Ireland, Canada, Switzerland & London.
Please, please heed this warning because this site is nothing but a fraudulant site designed to steal your hard earned money.
Now I have to explain to the bank that they have been trying to steal my money under the guise of a "Free Trial".
I feel like an idiot. Save yourself the same pain.
IMHO it is one of the best dating sites you will find and my number-two choice after Mingle2day. Seriously don't understand what everyon else is complaining about?!
I have really been put off by BE 2 Customer Service and I am beginning to wonder if all the online complaints and warnings are legit.
Issue 1 -Nobody really addresses one's issue. I just keep getting emails telling me someone will get back to me.
The whole process has now left me worried and suspicious about how I will be able to cancel my membership, even if I were to proceed to try out the site. On that note I would like to delete my profile.
Issue 2 - the little feedback I have received (once!) was really unsatisfactory feedback:
Issue 3 - why does it say that I am a premium member, when I am still only in the process of completing my profile?
Issue 4 - why can I not see my account details in relation to my membership?
Issue 5 - why do I not have access to going back to certain parts of my profile to change them - for example, correcting that I am male?
Issue 6 - when I complete my profile, will it automatically be anonymous, or will that only happen when I am a premium member? No one has gotten back to me about this question.
Issue 7 - your system says before I delete my profile, I should contact you if I am a premium member, how is that possible when no one gets back to me?
