“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!

Every single smile I have gotten "over 100" and they immediately want to go offsite to "get to know me better". A real girl doesn't want to chat offline after a simple hello. I know phishing and scammers. Many get their profiles removed days later. Total waste of money.

Tip for consumers:
Best to go somewhere else

I paid $149 to join and have not received one message from a bona fide user in over a month. Every time I go online there are very few new users and none of them in Las Vegas. (I mean only 1 or 2 new users a month from another part of the country) This site is a misrepresented scam! I am so upset I paid all that money for NOTHING! I get dates in real life but wanted someone of faith since my church is very small. Don't join this site, PLEASE!

People on here, girls in particular are just out looking to get some penis, guys want a relationship and an honest woman, but the women on here are just looking for sex! I have the best friend in the world and he deserved a good woman and she just played him like a fiddle. Proceed with caution.

Was on a few years ago and was much better.
Now nothing but fake smiles from supposed women 20 years younger and miles away. Customer service says has no control of who contacts you.
1 real person and if these people are real. I really feel for the social skills that have deteriorated. They ask a question, you respond and never hear from them again.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

Christian Mingle customer service is non responsive they don't have a working phone number. They do not give refunds, so do not waste your money. After you pay to scroll the site you will notice most of the people who are on the site within a 100 to 50 mile range are non active on the site. I would not consider this to be a Christian dating website and would not recommend to anyone.

I sign up for this site and paid for a month. After couple of weeks Of using this site I decided I don't want to continue paying monthly and will just use the remaining time I paid for, but that didn't happened as the site lock me out completely. I can't even change my password or anything it's not accepting the email I enter I know I'm using the right one. I didn't violate any of their rules or anything. I just think it's a scam once you don't want to pay for it anymore they kick you out of site right away even though you haven't use all the time you paid for. This site is not about helping someone find love is all about scamming money from people and that's not being Christian

Sean understood my complaint yet was adamant could do nothing else. I joined CM back in December and 85% of all men who contacted me through your forum were impostures. I was upset and disappointed as this never ended. I called to cancel and get reimbursed only to learn I had entered an automatic renewal just over a week earlier. They credited me for the one week renewal but not the 3 months of continual impostors since December. So so dissapointed with your operation

Online it says that this website is free, but it is in fact not. It almost crushed my friend's dreams, but luckily she's ok. I just think it's sad how this website sits on a throne of lies. False advertising is not ok. It's not a joke bro. (i would give this website no stars if it was an option)

Don't waste your money upgrading to the premium feature, its not worth it. The customer service is beyond terrible, there's no customer care number to call and good luck if they respond to your email. It's one big scam! The worse datin site ever and even the women on there barely respond cos most of them logged in several months ago no one barely gets online so can u talk to someone in realtime? Whack

If Las Vegas is the scam capital of the world, then, most certainly, Christian Mingle is the scam capital of dating sites! I have never in my life run across more fake profiles! The pictures of women are so obviously fake! However, the people posting them are so stupid, sometimes, they get pictures from other decades (like the 70's and 80's)! It is hysterical! Many responses I receive are from people from other countries with broken English. They all must be reading from the same script as well! Ten ladies that contacted me all were named "Lisa" and all of them were nurses in the U.S. Army! That is so pathetic, it is actually funny! Most "ladies" that contact me want my personal information immediately! I just laugh and block/ report them (not that it does any good). This is hardly a Christian website! This is hardly a site -- period! It is just a breeding ground for scam artists!

I provided all the information requested, but when the page requesting one to confirm one had read the terms and conditions one can't get any further. Clicking "continue" yielded, the check mark is cleared and one is asked to confirm again (an endless loop)

I literally had to change my credit cart and file for a fraud report to get these guys to stop billing me. They make it literally impossible to cancel their subscription. They are THIEVES! They will rob you blindly and make it impossible to get a refund. Report them to your banks for fraud.

The app doesn't work... Actually I'm offended as a Christian that they operate as they do and steal people's hard earned money. The profiles you see on the free side are exactly the same ones you see after you pay a RIDICULOUS amount for more profiles? REALLY? The app on Silver Singles is so much better. They match you with your preferences. AND there are Christians on that site. In my opinion Christian Mingle is a scam. They got my MONEY once but never EVER again. ****The only reason christian mingle received one star is I had to choose something. In my true opinion the get ZERO STARS*****

I meet a nice lad called Jack from 40, SA,TX works as an IT HELPDESK, veteran. He was on premium, so we talked alot after 2 days. I cannot see his message suddenly and they keep prompting me to upgrade since I don't know how to pay using google pay, it took awhile. I promise Jack we would talk again on our dayoff. Then after 4 days CM suddenly suspended my account. I am quite devastated nd decided to stay away from there for good. I hope I can connect to him one day.

I was hoping to find someone that I am compatible with. I am 19 years old and live in AZ. I got one 23 year old from the Dominican Republic, but the other one were like 28 or 31. Absolutely disgusting that a 28 or 31 year old would want to go out with a 19 year old. A scam. Unsafe

This site will steel your information and use your profile to make it look like there are more members after you have deactivated and deleted your account. This caused me quite a lot of grief in my current relationship as you can imagine. This site is full of scam artists abs fake profiles. I wonder how many of the profiles are like mine that aren't active and we're removed by the owners only to later be put back up by the site to make it look like there are more users than there are. I wish I could give 0 stars

When I went on the site I was contacted by a guy who asked for my email. I didn't know any better and I liked his photos so I gave him my email. He immediately started, once a day, sending me love songs, poems, long emails telling me about his deceased wife, what he wants in a woman. He even insisted that we skype so I could see he was the man in the photos. He lead me on for almost 3 weeks but then he slipped up. He sent the same email he had already sent 2 weeks prior. That made me realize that he had files of emails that were pre-written. He never wanted to talk on the phone and he wouldn't tell me where he lived. I reported him and he had already been kicked off the site because other women had complained. Don't bother with this site.

I joined ChristianMingle 1 day ago. As soon as I paid for premium membership. My account got suspended for suspension activities. My profile was still pending. They showed a more expensive monthly membership when it was a less expensive membership. I found this out once I went into my settings and subscriptions on my iPhone. Day 2 and I'm still locked out of my account. They sent me a email asking for my name dob and card last 4 digits and when I opened the link to fill out the information it took me right back to login information. Of course, I can't login smh..

Tip for consumers:
Do your research before paying for a dating subscription. Just because it says Christian doesn’t mean that’s true.

Here is the description of myself that was rejected, why, I have no clue as I'm not saying anything wrong or bad "Gary just gave in to temptation and decided to try this for one month to start. He moved west from Montreal in 1982 where he attended Evangel Pentecostal. In Vancouver, Gary was going to Glad Tidings Temple on Fraser St. Pastor at the time was Kirk Duncan. Today he lives alone in his own Condo in Abbotsford BC and has a car. He says he's getting a lot of likes, etc. but none of them are anywhere close to being local. Being local means anywhere in the Lower Mainland of Vancouver and as far out as Whistler, Seattle, and Portland.
I only paid for one month to start. I really want to see if I can find myself a GF to start and then we can talk about something more. I'm tired of being alone and going on road trips by myself. He's retired now so has lots of time on his hands, was working in the Downtown East Side for the City of Vancouver in one of its Social Housing complexes."

I will give this no starts i agree dating sites are ruined by scammers all over the world all they want is your credit card details not you. All fake profiles fake pictures photoshopped even the free dating sites notice the difference on a paid dating site you get tonnes of mail.

I don't think I ever interacted with a real person that I was trying to meet. The site has symbols that you can press to show your type of interest but when you message a person as I did multiple times with multiple people you never get a response on how to meet or exchange telephone numbers. Out of all the messages that I sent I would expect at least one response from someone. The site doesn't want you to meet or you wouldn't need them anymore they just want you to keep paying.

Stay away! I considered signing up for an account. I created my profile and 24+ hours later it is still pending. Meanwhile, every time I visit the site to check on the status, I get a "We are experiencing network problems, please try again." I even opened a help support ticket and NO RESPONSE. I decided to open a support ticket and receive a response 48 HOURS later. Meanwhile, when I go to my inbox, it directs me to an "Upgrade Your Account" page -- when I should be able to view my inbox for free as normal. This dating site is NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY. They are slow and unresponsive. And if it takes that long to get a profile up, you can bet your pains have just begun. Go elsewhere.

I've been on this site before and it was okay. I took a break and coming back, it really sucks. I have tried multiple times to subscribe so I can read my messages and it wont work. I called customer service and the guy just shrugged it off and said call the bank. He didnt try at all to find the issue. I knew the bank wasnt the problem but I called anyway, and its not the problem. Called customer service again and could only get voicemail. I'm not quitting yet because there seems to be decent people there but it is very aggravating.

There's definitely fake profiles on Christian mingle I bought a year subscription and canceled a 3 months before it ended I couldn't take the scams and fake profiles anymore they should be ashamed of themselves and they're supposed to be a Christian site shame on them for scamming people the way they do I'm sorry but I like my men with teeth there's some nasty nasty looking men on their I mean they're supposed to be an attraction and they were matching me with men that were 20 years older than me and the ones that weren't I wouldn't let my worst enemy date them what's really funny is that I was getting tons of emails and then as soon as I subscribe to the site the emails stopped..
