“Its name is deceptive ITS NOT CHRISTIAN DATING!”

Jack C.
8/18/21

Zero activity level. I chose J4Dating.com -I'm getting a lot of contacts there and enjoying my communication with beautiful ladies. Now I'm at the point of making a big and important decision, following my heart and choosing my One and Only woman. So my experience with ChristianMingle was very poor. I'm an average-looking 43 year old man with good income. I sent 80 letters and got 1(!) response. If you value your time and have some self-respect, just use a bigger and more popular dating site and search for a Christian woman there. Christianmingle is not a true dating site. It's a big scam. Don't believe its name! It's a typical scam site, a giant and evil money-making machine with mostly fake profiles and catfishers.

“A Brutally Honest Review of a Disappointing Faith-Based Dating Site”

Jennifer R.
5/8/24

I'm writing this review for a family member who typically doesn't leave feedback but felt compelled to after his dismal experience with Christian Mingle. He signed up for a six-month subscription expecting matches aligned with his faith values. Instead, he encountered a random matching process, including a trans woman as a match and noticing unmarried pregnant women on the site, which he found wholly inappropriate for a Christian platform. Simply put, this site is trash!

I honestly believe this site is the most dishonorable dating site I've tried thus far. Look at the BBB ratings and you will find the vast majority who have spend hundreds of dollars experienced loads of fake profiles, almost no responses from anyone other than over 500 miles away, etc. Add that to the archaic search features which waste tons of time and the terrible interface with phones and tablets and customer service that makes your cable and internet providers look like saints (it's that bad). The fact that the word Christian is in the name is reprehensible. Is there no shame or conviction in the ownership?

I joined Jan 2024 and quit Feb 2024 after buying a 6 month membership. Summary of experience: Of 30 men I "chatted with"—- maybe 2 were real life people who were there for honest reasons. Which means all the others were scammers. My stress level increased expotentially as I realized I had to develop a high level of suspicion I never had in my daily life.
Other issues: preferences make no difference as your "matches" from CM do not reflect anything you marked in preferences. Clunky slow messaging—takes way too long to even chat with someone. Takes 30 minutes to say what you could have said in SMS or by phone in 5-7 minutes. Doubtful that CM vet any profile based on my experience. They probably are misrepresenting their success rate of real connections since my experience produced very different stats. Definitely not worth any level of membership.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid this company. The whole thing is a worthless scam

Been on Christian Mingle 4 months - every profile is either fake or a scam artist trying to steal your personal information. And there is rarely anyone in the city you live in - you are contacted by people hundreds of miles away. Many of the messages are written with multiple spelling errors and grammatically incorrect - clearly written by uneducated frauds. It's absurd.

Save your money and dont fall victim to the Christian in it's name. No way to cancel in 48 hours, like you should be able to. Scammers galore. One, asked me to send him a 300 Amex Card. Old profiles for matches that haven't been active in years.

Tip for consumers:
Seek out reviews first. Don't use dating sites and if you do be very weary. Never send anyone money

The site is a complete scam. I signed up and was inundated by fake profiles -- tons of traffic VERY few real people. They literally use Christianity to scam you. Horrible. Amazed at the fake reviews giving it 5 stars. It's completely fake.

Tip for consumers:
Don't. It's a complete scam and I''m so sorry I joined.

I've tried twice. Wasted a couple hundred dollars and I'll I got was hacked twice and an attempted scam. Customer service doesn't exist. Everything takes a week+ to approve. And no one in customer service ever did respond to the scams or hacks. Save your money and protect your info- don't use this site. They don't know what they are doing for security.

After 5 years of widowhood, I am ready to share my life with someone. I thought Christian Mingle would be a site where I would meet men who shared my faith and would like to explore a relationship with me. Most of the responses I got turned out to be scammers and I have met no one in person. The matches from the site don't come close to meeting my preferences or I am "matched" to a man who wants a much younger woman. I had more success on a secular site but without a shared faith that isn't going to work for me. This was a hard and costly lesson. I will not be renewing my subscription. Here's is my advice: if you want to meet someone who shares your faith - trust God and go where He is honored - CHURCH.

Christian mingle was a horrible experience for me.
95,% fake profiles.
One picture
Often with sunglasses
A short profile
Incongruous information
34 year Olds that would marry a 75 year old
Bad spelling
And Immediately want to leave the site and have your phone number
I got a refund

I have yet to enjoy 1 time of seeing my messages and smiles with out having to restart your site. When using it, you can't scroll to the places you need to be without restarting. What is wrong with your platform?
You need to fix your site. I also am very tired of having people send smiles without fully registering. I thought when I paid for your site you had some type of protocol to be sure participants can see each other and that everyone has filled out their forms.
I am not pleased with what I have been seeing and the amount of time I invest getting to see what is on my profile.
You promise better, so live up to the promises.
I would appreciate a followup!

They operate on completely dishonest non-Christian business model. If you don't want to put your money at risk, use a more reputable site. ChristianMingle is really not what they claim to be. They make money on gullible singles. They want to know your bank card detail so they can put you on automatic renewal. They are nothing more than thieves.
They use bots and totally fake profiles to attract new users to their site and fleece them of their money. Good concept but poor execution.

I turned in five fake profiles the first 24 hours of use and then a day later my profile was taken down on suspicion of fraud. No reasons given for why I was suspected of fraud. When I complained they came back and said I could rejoin. No thank-you. Stay away from this site. Way too many scammers.

Many will ask for personal information. I have asked 3 people to give a thumbs up picture after them asking about getting on hangout with google, or a phone number. ALL three stopped communication. Be safe out there!

Ten days after joining, my CM account was suspended for fraudulent and suspicious behavior. Support blamed me for getting hacked b/c their servers were secure. Didn't share my password or use one from another site.

After wanting to go on a date, i kind of started the profile but then backed out. For the longest time Christian Mingle hounded me until I finally caved. I should have listened to my first instincts. Now I'm out $75.00 hard earned dollars and for nothing! Not one person replied. Out of all the fake profiles you would think there would be something. F. Y. I. there are NO pretty girls that are real. Save your money guys!

This site should be shut down and I honestly believe it is a scam site. Very minimum amount of active users across the US. I had my search criteria completely open and at the max distance. I saw less than 50 active members across the country. It has been one month without a single match, its insane. I do not write reviews often, please trust me and do not waste your time or money. There are other options. Also, the company that runs it, is not a Christian based company. The site is also very basic in terms of user interface, its horrible. Last, I have to attempt to log on at least twice every time I use the site, something is wrong with the log in process. Save your $50 plus bucks per month.

I was on this site for only a few weeks. At first I hardly got any messages or contact. Then in one week I was bombarded with fake accounts: without pics, vague info in bio, fake profile names and pics, contacted by many out of state weirdos. I felt completely unsafe and unprotected. Christian my foot. They don't take care of their paying members. I got off right away.

Worse experience ever. I was scammed by someone I fell for, then when I tried to report this, no response and unable to get any response from help or support, even after several responses that I sent in, even included information for them to track this scammer! Constant profiles being deleted. Worst dating site ever, rip off, as take your money and people do not respond, or profiles were noting but scam! Lot of red flags. Was looking for good Christian minded men, found nothing but people trying to take advantage of a trusting person! Have tried other dating sites, none have been as much of a disappointment as this one!

Was looking for people of substance. Found a bunch of fake profiles, scammers, etc. Rarely any new people on there. Did find one nice guy, and we're friends. Thankful for that everyone else sucked. A lot of people use this site who have major life problems because they feel that Christians are more liniment, forgiving, whatever the case. I don't need any more problems. Subscription ends on the sixth then I'm done.

I am not saying you can't find a partner on this site but it will be a torturous process. Very small number of paying members. Tremendous number of scammers. Cumbersome communications process. Worthless matching methodology. Hang around the grocery store, instead. It is free, you can see the person and you go there anyway.

I paid $104 for 3 months. There aren't many people to choose from, and out of those people even fewer regularly check the app, because it's so empty. I messaged a bunch of men I was interested in the first few days of paying for the subscription. Over the past month I've received numerous "sorry, I don't check this app- text me" messages. Even more of those men never even looked at my profile and have not signed in since before I joined. I went on one date in the month I've been on it with someone over an hour away (had nothing in common but that's not christian mingle's fault). I've been getting messages from from men 100s of miles away, and the "smiles" are people who don't want to pay for the service. Overall, looking back I should have just paid the $50 for one month and been done with it. Maybe within these next 2 months someone else will join.

Complete scam and waste of money. Trolls, scammers. 10 people within my demographics. Save your money. I canceled less than 24 hours. No refunds available. Do yourself a favor and go to church and find someone.
