“Saturated with fake profiles”

Most men reaching out to me are either asian and 20 years younger than me or they are lumberjacks who are widowers from Europe. Lol- I never saw so many lumberjacks in one place. They all want my phone number after 5 minutes of texting and leave the conversation when i hesitate to give it. Once, i shared s google number and the left the conversation as well.

We all should open a lawsuit against the site, taking money from everyone.
There is Online Law. They can no longer get away with that.

I tried out this app recommended by friends. But i haven't subscribe yet. Until I saw many bad reviews here. Just like to share my experience. I received message from this guy call Calvin, claim that he is half Chinese half Australian from Melbourne working in Malaysia Terengganu for the project. Divorced with his own company with one daughter. Then asked me to chat at WhatsApp. From there everyday send me message few times and say sweet words to me and asked me to be his girlfriend. But i never say yes. After that I notice his mobile number quite strange with is +6011 with 8 digits number, I found fishing and something not right. And he send me the picture with his daughter and himself look like not real... I don't sure where he got all these pictures, until I asked him send video call to me, but never. From there it proved that I am right, 100% scammers, he scold me some more blocked me. Ladies just be aware this!
But I Guess some of people were lucky to meet some real or true friends from this app. Just to aware, don't fall in love too fast or don't give personal accounts or money. This is scammers wanted by end of the day

I only was contacted by Nigerian scam artists and bots that struggled with basic English sentences. Kind of a red flag when chatting with someone with a graduate degree or so they claim.

This guy claimed that he lives in UK. An architect, very good with his words and quite a gentleman when chatting. Good command in English. Too good to be true. He's just another scammer on CMB.

Came out with story a residential building he in charged few years back has collapse and the company immediately wants him to reinstate the building before they report him to UK. Asked for a loan to buy building materials. Google about it but no news came out on building collapsed in Turkey.
Rejected him and he immediately blocked me on everything. (CMB, Wechat & Whatsapp)

Coffee Meets Bagel is a small nice website where you feel good. The problem is - that not that much girls are online. So I tried datingme.org and got more luck.

I really liked this dating app until i was scammed. I was scammed out of money by someone I matched with on SMB and we had been talking for about a month. I stupidly sent him money because he said he was doing volunteer work abroad and was stranded. He was supposedly Turkish American doctor based in Lake Oswego, Oregon. He has a number on google chat that he uses. He goes by Emre Ahmed. Be ware! I suggest that if you have been scammed on CMB, that you send them an email. Dating websites need to be help accountable or they should go out of business. I'm so pissed about this that I am thinking about a class lawsuit against this company. Anyhow, CMB's email is *******@coffeemeetsbagel.zendesk.com

I have met this guy named "Eric Chang" in CMB app. (Phone number: *******816) He claims to be 42 years old, korea mix hong kong people and lived in hong kong until 11 years old, and moved to new york after that. He has his own company doing oil rig consultant firm. He asked my whatsapp on the same day we started to chat. He would text me every morning and night and saying sweet things. He even showed me pictures of him and video about his work (even though he did not appear in those video).
One day he said he have to go to turkey for a month for oil rig contract offshore. After about 10 days offshore, he said his machine doesn't work and need to buy a new one from china. Then he said cannot get into his bank account and maybe the wifi is not strong enough. He asked me to help him get into his account, and said that his only friend always go to casino and is not trustworthy. He also asked me to loan to him and he will pay me back. Since i found this website on the day he borrow money from me, so i refused and tell him he is a liar. I hope others would not be cheated by this guy.

This dating app has several problems. First, when you subscribe to their premium package, you might think that allows you to send "likes" to profiles you like and try to start a conversation, as advertised. WRONG. They give you only 8 likes, meaning, you can send a "like" to 8 profiles, and that's it. Once you run out of likes, you must buy their in-app currency, "beans," so you can send more likes by spending beans. It costs between $2.78 to $6.67 to send ONE LIKE to ONE PROFILE. That is ridiculous! You might send 10 or 20 likes or more, and not get any response. Who would knowingly sign up and pay for a monthly subscription, only to find out you have to pay $3 or more just to wave at someone? And, of course, the subscription is non-refundable.

The other problem is that while they match you up with 21 "suggested" profiles each day (and you can "like" any of those for free), there is no adequate way of setting preferences and filters. So you get suggestions of totally unattractive profiles that can be way older or otherwise not compatible. Very disappointing.

I was scammed by a guy I met through CMB, later found out he used picture from someone from Taiwan. How CMB verifies their account, I already reported this matter to CMB and they seems less interested. This person has man accounts which CMB cant di nothing about, they do not care about customer service.

Verified purchase

One day, I was suddenly logged out of my Coffee Meets Bagel account. Problem was it was linked to an old phone number, so I had no way of getting back in.

I reached out to customer support and they gladly updated the phone number linked to my account, but this took a few days to do. Would've been easier if they had a self service tool to do it like other dating apps.

Unfortunately once they updated the phone number on my account, it supposedly triggered all these security flags and I had to submit a selfie to verify my identity. They refused to tell me why, and upon asking them to delete my personal information they also refused. In every email, they keep blabbering on about "safety of our members will always be our number one priority" and just blandly linked me to their terms and conditions page.

Would be nice if they could highlight exactly what the issue was instead of bringing me to a page with a whole wall of text. It's like I'm asking for something in school and they've just dump an encyclopedia in front of me, expecting me to find the answer among the hundreds of pages in there.

All this - after I simply requested for the linked phone number on my account to be changed.

Presents as a 38 yo from Australia who lives about ~250 miles from wherever you live. Claims to be born in California but raised in Europe. Claims to have a Masters degree and be a freelance project manager in the field of solar energy. Claims that he has a "tender" (proposal/business requirements) he is working on, that is due very soon and that is why his messages are sporadic. And... he attempts to be very smoothe but his English is broken. I didn't get very far with messaging him because I literally did a google image search to reverse look-up his photos. Be smart out there everyone... scammers are EVERYWHERE and they are worse than catfishing! -

He will be very nice and kind to you at first, then he started asking for money in a form of a ITUNES GIFT CARD VERY FAST! Met this guy back in october 2018; im redoing this review because i accidently deleted my original review; i meant to edit it.

To me this seems like a really time-consuming scam to perform, because whoever it is... they're definitely working hard to attempt to earn trust, asking lots of interesting questions that a real person might ask in attempt to get to know someone... and then I'm sure the money request will follow soon enough.
