It was my first dating experience after a long time being married. And such a disgusting. Terrible. Immediately after registration I was contacted by a crowd of pretty good looking men, all non smoking, not drinking, never been married and without kids. Advocates, doctors, models, business men of every kind. Actually all of them had very - astonishing - poor English, even for my non-native approach, the same lexicon, same syntax and pretty same manner to set smiles and other icons. Same! I chatted with one business man from Denmark, with two (advocate and lawyer) from the USA and one worker (cannot remember exactly of his metier) from Venezuela. Absolutely the same dialog manner in every case. They refused to switch to another messenger or even to email, and all of them had the same behavioral pattern: they send me one message per day at the late evening with a new photo ($10 for reading email and $60 for opening the photo). I stopped the dialogs after blowing up first $140. Slowly I got the idea:(
Please remember the one: even though the "customer support" claims they are fighting against scams the website is the ONLY instance who gets the profit from all these payments, and users are supposed to pay for each received and sent email, each chat, each received and sent photo - so that the business model' of the source is pretty plausible.
As I decided to delete my profile I couldn't reach out the support for a while, so I made an expose to the German police (only option I had as a German citizen) and turned with this info to the support. My profile was deleted within seconds!
Guys, if you are in the USA, please do the same - the source is a cyber crime without any doubts. Even the people from Dating commenting here like Daria and Alexander do not truly exist - and even they write the same style as profiles on Dating.
Totally fake and scame! Be aware!
What a scam this company is. They email me after making a feedback here to resolve an issue but will only refund $96 out of $512 credit spend as an error and unsatisfied member and all the hassle they cause. I have so many unused credits even told them I report it less than 12 hours when I notice it but NOOOOO they won't refund they prefer you not coming back and just keep your money. And knowing from other members that they are scamming members too that these people that you talk to on the site are just hired people and not really a member. That is it, If they will not credit everything I spend, I will file a suit, make a blog to inform everyone in the world what this scam site is doing!. And oh, you cant even delete your bank details in this site... WHY? Coz they are a scammer and they will rip you totlly off! Support will even threaten you if you report them that they will show all the messages made --- GO AHEAD! As if I made a lot and happy talking to these fake members! This site is POORLY made, poor customer service/support, poor in resolving an issue. THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY AND NOT TO RETAIN YOU AS A MEMBER COZ THEY DONT CARE IF YOU DONT COME BACK AND GIVE THEM A BAD REVIEW. How's BBB to report this and any other gov't to file a suit for this scam company...
The site doesn't credit back any unused credits nor any errors which are insane. They think everyone could understand their site right away. I actually am reporting them since they just keep charging you. Even the support is ridiculous (doesn't fit to be supported), they keep repeating the same thing over and over and really won't credit back any unused or error plus would threaten you. I don't buy it still I'm reporting them. I don't recommend this site, it's also a scam and it's true.
Hello,
This person user name Alvaro B. Is a fake with a fake profile on the dating.com website. I've found a number of searches based on his pictures which turns out as I suspected he is a fake person. On his profile it states he is in banking which is a complete lie. It also states he is from Barcelona, Spain which is another lie. He sent me a video to lure me into continue chatting with him in the site which turns out he is speaking in Portuguese rather than in Spanish which is his native language.
I was scammed into believing this person was actually real and wasted a lot of money chatting with this person, to find out he is actually a fake person who has no interest in connecting with anyone but instead of luring someone to continue paying currency to chat with him. I wasted money and my energy.
It's ridiculous that I have to deal with this after being a new member to the site. May 2023 less than 2 weeks. Immediately Alvaro started love booming me and talking about how he was only interested in me yet wouldn't connect with me on a real level.
This dating app is a complete scam and a waste of my time. I requested to have my my account deactivated, deleted and unsubscribe. Yet I have yet to hear back. A report has already been made to the Better Business Bureau with Alvaro B. Picture and profile information with the website URL.
I also request a full refund immediately for the time I wasted being lured into this dating app with fake profiles. I have yet to hear back. The only thing the customer service stated to me was this person is verified in which they request for ID to confirm his identification which is a complete lie. He is indeed a real person but not the person I've been chatting with.
I did an investigation search with a private investigator who confirmed Alvaro B. Is a fake profile.

I met someone fairly quick. I didn't get catfished or experience any women propositioning me. I didn't come across any mean women.
Yes, that is how much they actually charge, and of course, all the lovely ladies want to continue to talk there.
So NO THANK YOU
Just stay away

DATING.COM ce site n'est pas véritablement destiné à vous faire faire rencontrer l'amé soeur, mais à enrichir leur propriétaire. En vous inscrivant vous devenez une marchandise, et en meme temps une vache à lait.
Le site fonctionne parfois très mal, ce qui peut avoir pour effet de vider votre compte des crédit très chèrement payé.
Le service client est très gentil, mais ne réponds que très rarement à votre question et très souvent à coté.
Il semble qu'il y ai des animatrices, membres gratuits, si vous etes un garçon vous ne serez jamais membre gratuit... mais bien une vache à lait... donc à éviter
DATING.COM this site is not really intended to make you meet the friend, but to enrich their owner. By registering you become a commodity, and at the same time a cash cow.
The site sometimes works very badly, which can have the effect of emptying your account of very dearly paid credit.
The customer service is very nice, but very rarely answers your question and very often next to it.
It seems that there are animators, free members, if you are a boy you will never be a free member... but a cash cow... so avoid
They're scammers, they keep charging people even after they delete their accounts, DON'T SIGN UP WITH THESE IDIOTS please.
Hi Julie,
Maybe you haven't canceled your monthly subscription before canceling your account? I would recommend you to contact our customer success team and they will help you with that: support@dating.com
Answer: TOTAL SCAM! I paid to test and see because my first impression was really bad, very fake profiles with basically the same texts. I also found it weird that as soon as I looked at a profile the person would shoot me a message... and this site doesn't show who's viewing your profile... another strange fact is that you don't have the option to delete your profile. I deleted everything, my pictures but could not exclude it. Anyway, don't waste your money, total scam. I also bought credits 1 day and had to cancell/block my credit card because the site charged me 5 times in a row on the same day, so they also work with extorsion...
Answer: Hi Curtis! Yes! Absolutly all our members are real! We have a special verification team to check all our members are real. We don't have any fake profiles on our platform. If you met any suspicious profile, please contact our CSD team. Best regards, Alex
Answer: Yes, I am a woman, I had been on the dating. Communities website for almost 3 months, I know very well as after they sent the email, I have to pay 10 credit to read each email. Even pictures, photo, video clip. If they are real why after chatting for months we already talking about marriage and still they refused (not one but 4 men from that website) to give real contact, email and wechat ID. In China wechat is very common even 80 years old have wechat. The men on thus site all claimed too old for wechat. That is really wired. Please be careful, those who said good review here, may be also their people. I am one of the victim who lose 5000 USD. I knew better.
Answer: Hi Robert! Absolutly not! All messages are created only by users. To make chat invite you can use Mingle service. Best regards, Alex
Answer: There are real people behind the photos. But they do not look for a real partner. You just pay and chat people under their profiles. Maybe just operators.
Answer: Yeah, I totally agree with you Regina. I tried asking them to keep in touch on Instagram or Facebook, and I did not receive any responses. Moreover, they kept sending me the same messages and emails. I've been wondering whether they are real or not.
Answer: No, you will not! If you use the tokens and do not realize that it's by the minute it goes fast... also, emailing costs more and they must get paid to chat with you! All the men are fake!
Answer: You can not exchange contact details in the dating.com because the person whom your chatting with is a staff of the site pretending to be the person in the picture.
Answer: Dating.com is a bad site at, they specialize in scamming people. They cover scammers. When I give all the evidence to prove Fake membership of the website, but they always give the reasons of being unintentional, irresponsible, wasting time, going around. I spent a lot of money for a member, but they returned me the wrong amount and even said it was their good deed. Here, I am the one who gives money, but I receive all Fake people, don't think you are charitable for others. There are many Fake members in Dating.com. I have proof, proving they're fake. I ask Dating.com to pay me back for the exact amount I spent.
