Hello, I am Carolina and I am looking for a husband. So far, it has been a rip off, we ladies have to pay for kisses, emails and viewing profiles. Paying for stuff is a job for men. Men pay for sex and love, women give the same for love and security. The world is like that. Tired of doing lame personality tests, proofing my picture and asked to pony up money for premium services. All these sites are a sham.

These websites don't have "PARTNERS" they are all owned from one company, see th3e corporate address, Look at the Website user agreement.
If you look at the RAW MESSAGE, look at the ISP origins, if they are so legit, why do they use 50 different ISP, this means they could be from NIGERIA, PAKISTAN, CHINA and other NO LAWS AGAINST FINANCIAL CRIMES". Is it possible they could cut & paste "PROFILES" with different alternatives. Their are hidden operators, who will keep you chatting which costs you C$2.50 per response, While a third world country operator get about $0.25 US$. You will never get t5hem to meet outside the website and the operator can never answer a querstion about your city that cannot be Google? Use common Sense not your money and Disappointment

Tip for consumers:
COMMON SENSE, ask the person interested in, something about the city you both live in, a question that cannot be googled in 10 seconds. You will never meet them outside, because they don't exist in your city. Their Questions are endless, they make $0.25 US$ per message. Look at the Raw message in your email, if the ISP source is different in each email. you are a financial victim of fraud already US$ BILLIONS SCAM INDUSTRY!!!

Please don't disrespect love for a $$$. Dating.com + datemyage.com + travelmeetdate.com are all scam. I paid $400 on each site an I got answer... Members have profile on all 3 sites but 1 site he said he never travel on other site photo shows he visited Indian, Egypt, Paris, Hong Kong. Yes you can claim everyone lies... ok. Other member - on 1site he sex texting a girl he crazy about and at said time on other website message a girl who send him a kiss... that actually was funny... Anywat you may say men will be men :) but seriously how your members that are from USA claim they born and raised in the USA do not know English can't speak English... Had me laughing... what people do for money so disrespectful to love, to individuals who are sad and depress ashamed on you. Also non of those member will call you once you can't talk over phone or video chat forget it don't waste your money... I have many points but it will not make any difference as you scammer love to sleep on silk sheets rolling on money... God bless

Fake website need to be find out and creators need to be brought to justice

I joined to dating.com 3 days ago. Sytem is sending too many messages from different profiles. I have looked to "Work as" field of these profiles. There was writing lawyer, doctor, business owner. But their ages were 20 or 22 yo.
- Also, I have seen girl profiles who wrote to me from Prague. These girls were different girls and have different profiles, but their photo's background were same. I mean bed, carpet, sofa, light and other decorations were all same.
- All first messages were excellent and about love. I mean different profiles can't be write same type love messages. It can be automated messaging system.
- Girls seem very beatiful and sexy. Also photos are very professional. It requires professional photographer to take these shoots.
- All foreign girls was writing messages to me in English with excellent grammar. This was impossible...:)
- Some chinese black hair girls profile are showing "blonde" in about me's hair field.
- There are interesting many Chinese women profiles. Their profiles say that they are very rich and have their own business, they have many villas, more then 500 employees. When I checked a Chinese women's profile, they were business owner and very very rich... :) (Chinalove.com website is working with same software and same database as dating.com)

Website software was good..

Nevertheless, please send us links to profiles you experienced issues with to support@dating.com and we’ll personally check them for you.

I am a newbie in Dating.com, the site is very inviting(the logos, the pictures, can create your profile and add picture as many as you want) It might be a good apps for people who can afford it. However, for a person like me with budget restriction and looking to connect with other people, create a bond and friendship, this app is not for me. Within a week since I started, I enjoyed chatting with few of the members (2 in particular) I am not sure if he/she is a real person or a fake profile ( I cannot judge). However, per chat will be charged and I spent more or less USD200. And when I purchased a credit (4×), I recieved a notification that it was successful but it never updated my number of credits. I sent an email to support team 2x and never recieved any response even to acknowledge my message and I also sent a message to their whatsapp. I decided to stop and request to delete my profile. Sent an email again to support team. They really need to improve the response time and customer service.
Hoping support team can assist me with my email.

I find dating.com fake and phony indeed because I just think it's a fraudulent website to scam people on this website and I believe they want to catfish everyone on this website and using fake phony profile's of the ladies and I really don't think they are just on here for a serious relationship I believe they are on here just to play with your emotions and playing games with you and wasting your time and money for Nothing to get absolutely Nothing at all but disappointments. AND feeling like a piece of trash so anyway dating.com is fake and phony and you can't get any worse than that I'm afraid and they probably pay the ladies money just stay online and communicating with men on this website for a living is probably what they are doing because they are always online 24 hours a day seven days always online every day and it's really really boring and it's just a money making machine this website is and it's a big big scam and everyone knows it and the world knows it so website is fraudulent and it's absolutely Nothing but garbage anyway. And another thing too is that I keep getting multiple messages from ladies of this website and false Notifications and you can tell the messages are absolute Fake because why on earth would anyone would send messages like that to a complete stranger and it's a computer generated messages that I'm receiving from Fake phony ladies and I don't even use this website so it's all Fake phony and this website is Not even real at all and I wish I could give dating.com a zero stars but one star is the lowest you can get and I'm afraid you can't get any worse than that I'm afraid.

Tip for consumers:
Yeah please don't use this fake phony fraudulent website because they will suck you're money out of your $#*!.

The Company says that their goal is global relations which for me is something amazing. But for brazilians like myself is totally beyond expensive. I find someone nice there and I wish I could talk more to him and it's so unfair that If you find someone nice and if the person is real, because they are always confirm that everything is real in this site. So why do I have to pay the same amount of my rent here in Brazil just because I want to give It a chance? I spent money that I don't have just to give it a chance. At the end I don't think your goal is global relations I think the goal here is money. I understand that charging can provide a better offer. But you have to think it over specially now in this pandemia we are living. Every Company is giving discounts and low prices. And your site is something people are looking for this time at home. But I don't know why you don't realize that the biggest relationships apps are most part free. And I repeat I understand charging is important but whatbyou are charging is beyond normal.

I'm Tracy.im 48 years old.
My experience.
Romano 49 emailed me. Professing love and romance and wanting me to accept gifts and roses.
I was able to read that email. But it cost to email back. I emailed admin and after Romano had sent me some 280 emails ( which were partly blocked and blurred out) admin agreed to me sending him one free email.
So I did. Included a email address. Messenger address. And mobile phone number. And explained I didn't have $2300.00 to read and respond to 280 emails or send multiple gifts.
And said please email me message me or call me.
His response.
And I quote.
"No. It's absurd talking love on the first call. A rose is a beautiful thing and takes many years to flower. ".
Followed by a prompt to the payment page to pay subscription fees.
( Found it odd I was able to read his reply when it was clearly stated I only had one free email send message).
So. At 208 emails every 24 hours and eight gifts/roses every 24 hours that tally's to $*******.00 a month.
When we could have been emailing 280 times a day for $29.00 unlimited a month with Optus. Including messenger.
I received 1563 emails. In total.
It appears to me the scam is in the subscription. 3 to 7 years at $*******.00 a month tallies to the kind of money you'de own a house with. Don't plan on wasting my sizeable inheritance on a dating site when I can pay $29.00 a month unlimited with Optus out of my weekly income.
I read the first two lines in the emails. About half had a partial about half had nothing.
But very much snail pace. Very much minimum 2 years.
I plan to buy my first home. And new car. And have a secure medical fund.
And provide for my disabled son's future.
As I said. Tens of thousands of dollars in costs. It's a scam when the man has recourse to contact you and refuses to use it. No. Won't be subscribing.

This is a scam. The confirmed, popular people are working for the site ( donot know about all but I dated a guy named 'Adrien' who never wanted to share any personal details after 16 months of dating, though he wanted me to chat with him 24/7. What he wanted is to send letters. Just chat with him any how. He was so in love with me, he was too sensitive I was so stupid to trust him and fell in love with him and i lost more than $50,000 for chat with him in this site( to refil again and again). I sent him my infor with a gift so we can call. He always gave different lies. I was too blind and now I am ashamed of what i did. The site, they did not want to do anything for me as it is not considered as a normal scam. I am so mentally depressed and taking counseling for what happened. Please do not trust people here.(there could be good people too, but be careful) I do not want any other woman/man to suffer like me. Please be care of your self. Use your brain. I know there are official places to complain and do further investigation on this, and i will file a claim when i am confident back with my mentality.

Thanksgod I found Sitejabber and all the reviews about Dating.com. I decided to look for reviews before paying. It was very suspicious about all the men with Premium accounts that were writing to me. All of them handsome, wealthy, romantic. Well, I'm not 15 y. O. anymore neither desperate, I knew they were fake. The messages I received were nonsense, cheesy, American guys writing bad English (I'm not native and I notice when someone else is not by the way they write) and all of them seem to be created by the same person. Reading here about the high costs of sending and receiving messages and all the services they offer made me write to Dating.com support to request to delete my account. Because if you suscribe using your Google account it is impossible to delete it through the website - they ask you for a password that does not exist! That was 2 days ago and there's no answer. Live Support does not work, you can't write to them through the website. I can't even delete my photos, only leave them there as "private", because there's no way to delete them. I demand now that my account is deleted immediately and you do not use my photos for anything because you sell your services using fake profiles. And please, Dating. Com: don't tell me that you got better offers for me, I'm not interested. Using fake accounts to make people pay for your services is a scam. I can't imagine how many people is now having emotional problems, desperate for love and you take advantage of them.
Look what people says about Dating.com in https://www.reddit.com/r/OnlineDating/comments/j5vbo3/datingcom/

Tip for consumers:
Using this site you will support a company that fool its users with bot profiles. Not recommended.
