Please be careful with any guy who gave you the number +44-7452 and asked you to add them, This number is from Isle of Man but the guy will claim that they are in London or UK at the moment.
Attached is the photo that scammer used, he claim his father is from HK and his mum is from Korea.
It's easy to tell if he is a scammer, just ask for a video call, then the guy will disappear.
He has been using multiple profiles - that he a is 45 yrs old, petrochemical engineer and works offshore. He claims he is a 'David' wong', a Singaporean born American. This is the contact no. He uses +1 *******382
Just beware of this man by the name of Terry from Singapore and his employer is TerryDreamworld construction.He is actually from U. K. Cut the story short after chatting with him for a month, he told me he met some legal issue in another country and asked money from me to help him. All kind of excuses and lot of doubtful unanswered questions. Now he had changed his profile in CMB recent. Just beware ladies out there.
If you read the first paragraph of the intro of this book, that was exactly my profile sadly: I am/like/look everything generic. Needless to say I was getting "passed" a lot.
I'm really happy I found this book because he suggests ways to write a CMB profile that I've literally never seen anyone else use, and I've been able to help my friends with their profiles now too.
This is a really weird dating app in my experience. I don't think I met a real person on here. I wasn't on here for long to be fair. Many of the profile pics seemed like stock photos and there was no one anywhere near where I lived and I lived in a very big city of Canada. This is a weird place. Don't go here. lol
Been on the app for 4 months. EVERY. SINGLE. GUY. I have been "connected" with has turned out to be a scammer!
Not even ONE real Americsn guy on the site!
To to it off, even some guys I hadn't talked to yet were blocked as being suspicious before I could even get the chance to communicate and find out for myself.
Online dating is officially dead.
The scammers have completely taken over the platform.
I think this app is better for those who are looking for relationship until I met a scammer the other day. This is a better platform for scammers as tinder required face to face "Netflix and chill", on CMB people tried to chat and develop feelings before meeting up which allows the scammers have the chance to lure you Into something else and steal your money.
The scammer was using this guy's pic ( see attached) please let him know if you know him. And you can let me know who he is as well. Cuz I think he is really cute:)
Anyway be aware of the person who you are chatting to, below could be one of the red flags
- not local number, an overseas number
- profile pic is not himself / herself: they are faking multiple different identities therefore they can't use their face in the watsapp pic
- Ask for money / investment
- they just look too good to be true
It says free.not free at all. It is free to
Click "like", if you want to see who like
You, you have to pay to like back, then
Can start messaging. Is that call free? F.k scam. Waste time
How unfortunate that out dating world is now nothing but a world of scammers and frauds that look for naive people to take advantage of! Watch grammar! Watch for story inconsistencies! If it looks like a rat and smells like a rat! It is probably a rat!
This guy professes to be 40 years old and his name is JACKSON - he claims to be in the Air Force as a Technical Seargant on deployment in Kuwait - he supposedly has three months to go before he comes home but won't devulge exactly when. His accent doesn't match up with his picture at all and when he texts it is broken sentences so it appears he is not who he says he is. He moves way too fast... supposedly his wife cheated with his best friend when he was deployed in Russia about five years ago. I would watch out for him as he doesn't answer important questions, etc.
Compared to any other dating app I've tried Coffee Meets Bagels was at the absolute bottom in terms of getting connections and/or dates and I was a paid subscriber. It was easily dead last compared to Match OkCupid, Bumble, Zoosk, Elite Singles, eharmony and one or two others I don't recall and some of these other apps are also quite awful. Save your money.
I really must leave 1-star review because I was banned for a very poor reason: "I was doing marketing on CoffeeMeetsBagel".
Are you confused right now after reading that reason? Yeah I was too.
My profile is a little on the "unbelievable" side so I have links in my profile to my businesses. Apparently you can't do that!
I understand they are trying to remove scammers and dishonest people from the app. But I had links to my businesses! I wrote in my profile "50+ positive testimonials" for my business, which I thought would help me be more attractive to dates.
Man it's funny because my business is software contracting. Do they really think I will source business leads from CMB? It's so ridiculous!
His name is Gary Wong a Chinese American-Singaporean. Locate his profile in Singapore. Works as project engineer manager on the oil rig at Kuwait. He claims as a loner - has no friend and no social media, his mom died last year and cheated by his fiancée 2,5 years ago. A polite sweet person. Try to build your trust. Not too "too good to be true". End up with a story of "brokedown machine" which need to be fixed. He asked to login to his account and make the transfer to the supplier. Because he trusts me so much!
His English is quite good (rare to find typo or miss-spelling). Chated via Whatsapp with +1(306)*********
Once you reject to do the banking transfer he will drop the communications down.
The scammer probably stole someone else profile. I feel sorry to this guy!
Thank you for your reviews, this "guy" is just like you described. An "engineer" from a foreign university (from Frankfurt, German). He's a "widower" with an 8 year old son and is moving to San Jose (semi-near me) to open a branch. He owns his own environmental engineering company called - http://www.dquestengineering.com - and his name is no where to be found and the phone numbers don't work. He's blonde and has a beard. His English is pretty bad and he only wanted to email, no whatsapp (I asked him 3x) and send one pic of whoever this blonde guy is with a 3 year old boy. He showers me with compliments and says he wants to take our friendship further on this great platform, email (WTF)! Again thank you for your reviews!
Total scam artists on here - an engineer name Greg living from North Hills, LA whose working on a project in Nigeria - ran out of money. He is 1/2 Australian/German, Parents passed when he was 19 and has no family. 3rd day chatting with him - he asked for money. Big red flag. Saying his debit card is locked out. And needs $100 sent to him and send a snapshot of his bank account - login and date. So fake. On the snapshop it shows a lot of money - in addition - pending charges and cleared charges which is dated 8/25. Dude its March - and the bank was BOfA. Totally not the right BOfA logo. Not dealing with the bs so reporter and blocked him.
Completely agree. This app - for the most part - is irresponsible and a nuisance... Many of the female profiles are fake. Beautiful women, who ALWAYS manage to 'connect' with me, ALWAYS invariably want to almost immediately have me TEXT them - obviously to get my # so that they can do whatever it is these phony profiles do with cell #'s they get. I assume sell them to nefarious spam-artists for money... I got sucked in once - never again.
For you guys out there - if it's a 'beautiful, young babe' with broken/bad English grammar, with short, one to two word replies usually (unless they're REALLY good at being phony...), and then they want to 'text' you fairly quickly - it's a scam.
The bad thing about 'Coffer meets Bagel', is that they have very bad customer service, so I just keep getting these types of beautiful, young lass 'connections'. Then, invariably, CMB FINALLY fesses up and alerts me that 'this profile may not be real.' - after a week or so...
Really bad dating app.
Poor interface, claims men will not act as oversexualized man pig animals--wrong. First matches right out of the gate by BOTH men and women (I am a pansexual) were gross and graphic.
I laugh thinking about it considering my undergrad degree--you cannot change the behaviors of people. Scum is scum.
An app will not change men and women from both sending graphic messages and unwanted grossness in their very first messages who live in Madison, Chicago, and Twin Cities.
The people are garbage, but so are the makers of the app stating that their app would get rid of the grossness.
Still gross!
I am a member of CMB. They asked me to delete one account and send a picture with holding 3 fingers to verity my account because I have two accounts. Then I sent verification pic and deleted one account. After that I met someone and deleted the account I used. Then we are not work and I back to CMB again and create a new account. CMB still asked my verification picture and ID to verify my account, the reason is I have two accounts. How come I have two accounts? I only have one account. The old account they did not delete from their system and made the trouble for me and said I have two account? CMB made the mistake and ask customers to pay for it?! When I emailed them and they avoid to answer my questions and no solution for their mistake. What the service is? CMB only care about money!
Got banned after reporting a scam activity. The customer service is very rude, asked me to send a photo with three fingers up, saying that if I sent the photo I will get reverified. After I took the photo, sent the photo with three fingers up. He said oh we still cannot verify you, and we cannot tell you the reason. What a jerk he is. If you want to ban me with no reason and no matter what, why waste my time taking the photo for you?
There are men in there that state they are in Afghanistan and the service. They will will you a sad story about a cheating girlfriend or a fiancée that died with their child. A emergency mission will come up and they will ask to ship a package of some kind to you, because they don't have family. The package will be stuck in customs and require a western union payment of 800 dollars. Lol it's a scam.
