“Elite singles not scammers by experience”

Lucky Y.
4/9/21

Elite singles are not scammers that is why I am correcting my review here, yet they are not clear that they only serve US clients, it is not an international service, they do not have a mobile application. You meet non matching profiles. The finance are very reluctant to reply so for a quick response I finally reached this email *******@elitesingles.com My advise don't waste your money over paid dating sites, there are lots of free apps to check.

“Waste of money”

Zeinab A.
10/21/24

I paid almost $80 for one month subscription! I don't believe, it doesn't even match me with the correct people. Why it is advertised that it is one of the best apps for professional singles. It's so expensive even for $5!

This sight is full of scammer and they allow the scammer back again and again. I was talking with an individual who turned out to be a scammer. He was deleted from the sight but a week, yes a week he was back under a different name and was matched to me again. They say that they review your photos but they do not for if they did, they would of seen this guy was back under a different name same photo. What a waste of money

What an unbelievable waste of time and money! Where do I begin? Well I guess with their app which crashes every other day with a red sign that comes down and says the operation can't be completed log out and log in again. Of course I did that twice and even rebooted my phone and again I get the red drop down so I can't do anything on the app.
I specifically configured in my profile that I only want matches 50 miles or less from my location-about one hour. About 90% of my matches or two or even three hours away! What about the ones who are within my requested area? Not one single match in our profiles nothing to connect us. There is no support nobody to contact nobody to email. I'm definitely going to cancel my membership, which is three months, and I still have at least two to go and I would love to get a partial refund for that time but I'm sure that aint gonna happen. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE. Unless of course you want to waste an incredible amount of money and never meet anybody.

With a PhD the best I get from this app is a technician. I subscribed to this app because it claimed to be for educated ppl so I thought I can give it a try. After 2 months I haven't had a single date. Very few ppl nearby and no sign of education. I'm very disappointed.

I tried to deactivate my account and they went on to try to debit my bank account twice when I never ever wanted the paid service. I wanted to deactivate my profile because I cannot afford it and they still try to debit my account. I want a refund for failed debit order fees on my bank account because of this debit I did not authorize! This is totally inexcusable!

I joined this site along with another. This site is not even available most of the time. When I am able to get on, the people on it are the same as the other site I joined but at least the other site is available to access and offers more people to meet.
This was a total mistake and i would like to get a refund but of course, once sucked in, you can cancel but no refund. I paid for 6 months! It should be illegal to take a persons money and then they can't even access the site and when they do, there is no one on it except scammers and false profiles - plus some of the same people offered on better site =silver singles.

My biggest complaint is that my matches do not meet my desired criteria. Two examples are age and distance. I have listed on my criteria an age range from 48 - 57. Approximately 90% of my matches are over 60. The second is the distance my matches are located from me. I have listed no more than 100 miles and it seems that most of my matches are way further away than that, sometimes over 500 miles away. The iPhone app is incredibly slow and very annoying. This makes it difficult to quickly scroll through possible options.

This company should be ashamed of themselves! I pay $60 for a one month trial. So happy that i did not pay for 6 months up front. It is full of scammers and there are not any real members. It is so bad that i cancelled my subscription and will not even use it the remainder of the month. Bumble and Match.com are actually legitimate sites.

They do not match you with compatible people they simply look at the age range. What's worse is I had at least five scammers contact me and want to correspond outside of the site. Elite then warned me these people are not who they say they are. Lastly, they are extremely difficult to contact. I had a heck of a time cancelling my membership.

I opened a free account with elite singles, that promise free messaging, to check the site before subscribing.
All my introduced texts (a hundred words allowed only) were rejected. On the same page appeared a button for "assessment" to write a good text for only 99$.
Plus, with a free account, all the pictures are blurred, making it impossible to use the site.

Tip for consumers:
stay away from elite single, it's lost time

I honestly came to the conclusion that 90% of all of their profiles were fake, even the ones of real people I see on other dating sites. I think they steal pics and info of real people from other sites to post these fake profiles. What few contacts I had, nearly all were scammers. This is absolutely the biggest waste of money I've ever experienced.

Not only is it an expensive site, but it does not send you appropriate matches. I have a Master's Degree and I mostly received High School Graduates for matches. You can't browse anyone, you just wait for them to send you a couple of inappropriate matches. Do yourself a big favor and save your money.

They used to have the option to buy once month. They now force you into buying a 3 month membership. Stating that they reduce the 3 month option price so people have more money to spend on dates. Really? This is forcing you to buy more than you want!
They also force you into picking a religion, When I ask about an Atheist option. They informed me I would have better luck if I chose Agnostic.

Total rip off!

This site based in Germany Say that they have more educated members. I didn't think so they also sent me matches that I already selected or looked at or deleted. Does not have enough Members so very slim selection. I do not find it a good site.

I specifically set height, religious preference, and education level in my search criteria. What does this clunker site do? Sends "daily match proposals" of men with limited education, who are shorter than I, and who list god in every description. I give up. This site is just awful. A waste of money and time.

I signed up- and met one person, who turned out to not be a match. They had very few people in my area and even fewer people of color. I was not impressed. Many of the folks on the site are- I hate to say it- but they are ugly. After the second day- I got zero matches. ANd it was very hard to stop the auto-renew. I had to call my credit card company and tell them not to pay. I even tried to call elite singles- and could not reach anyone. They are horrible. Stay awat,

You can never reach them. You can't report a sleazebag on their site, and that is ALL you will encounter. Their website states: "go here to report someone," but will not route you. "Fill out this form" to complain, and no form pops up. I reported them to the FBI! They hook scammers up with victims and you pay $200 to be lied to non-stop. What a nightmare.

Waste of money! They will not let you purchase monthly for a reasonable price and if you have sign up for 3 months, same cost as the 1 month option, and get auto renewed they will not return your money if you cancel. Worst site ever! Don't waste your time or money.

My matches were ridiculous, they totally ignored my search criteria. The women aren't elite - absolutely! I met no woman who would combine beauty and intelligence. This is NOT what I call "elite". I was hoping to find a good-looking local woman, but Elitesingles wasn't helpful at all. Moreover, they added bogus unauthorized charges. Make sure you don't use your main credit card on Elitesingles - otherwise they will keep charging you for auto-renewal, and it's a pain to stop them.

Elite has very few local members so it sends me old and remote matches__-+---__-+---__-+---. Elite's services are of the lowest quality. The App is poorly designed. I cannot delete those unwanted faces on my message list. Dating and searching on this website is not pleasure but suffering. People are not members without photos, but Elite will send them to you. If you contact them then they might want to read your invitation, and pay too high membership fee. In fact the website doesn't have enough members to run as a dating site.

The worst Dating Site Ever! Don't waste your hard earned cash on this one unless you like being scammed! You will never meet anyone point finale! Profiles are made up to measure. Warning to ladies and gents, you have NO control on which profile to read, visit and analyse. All your site activity is control by Elite Stupid beware! Better off any other non paying site.

Beware! This site may have been good at one time, but it is a scam now. This site claims to match people to similar income and educational backgrounds and they claim to verify profiles. However, they put me on another site that I had never heard of. I corresponded with six "men" that I believed were on elite. I spoke to two of them who had never heard of elite singles. Neither had an income or educational background that were similar to mine. While that didn't bother me so much, it really bothered me that the cost for these two men to join their site for a year was the same as my one month membership on Elite. The other four "men" were scammers. Fortunately, I know what to look for in a scammer and cut off my communication quickly. Elite singles clearly does not vet anybody and their practices are not transparent. I canceled my account after only two weeks and asked for my money back. To their credit, they told me they would refund my money. However, they switched me to a basic membership, and I asked to delete my profile entirely. To do so, I had to give them a lot of personal information. It took a lot to get deleted, but it took almost nothing to sign up.

Tip for consumers:
It would’ve been helpful to know that my profile was going to be posted to another website and that the men on the other website paid only a fraction of what I paid. It also would’ve been helpful to know that the other website does not have any financial or educational requirements. It would have been helpful to know that there are many scammers on elite singles.

From CA - I cancelled the day after renewal by auto payment. I disputed the cc charge after the company refused to issue a credit. Site was a disappointment and I never used for last 5 months. I am now receiving threatening collection and legal emails. Buyer Beware of their ethics and questionable tactics. There are no credits or proration based on date cancelled. The most recent threatening email will go to consumer protection agencies and BBB.

To call this website Elite is a lie. The men here are the opposite of elite. Many don't even have an associate's degree. They are the most unattractive bunch of people I've seen on any website.

Once they know your credit card details, they keep charging you even after you cancel. Trust me, you will want to cancel, since it's total scam. Elitesingles wesite doesn't belong to dating services that work for real. Actually, it's the opposite of them. Most of the suggested matches are fake. You get a few replies every now and then but they are short and written by bots. Boilerplate! Don't forget that you have to give them 14 days notice in order to cancel your subscription. Otherwise you will be charged again.
