80% of the matches provided by SingleShingles were a farther distance than the mileage range that I had set up in my profile.
50% of the people they listed as matches were later identified as nefarious and avoid giving them your credit card.
I contacted Silver Shingle (my name for the website) about these issues and they were never addressed.
And I was a paying customer for their shoddy services.
Most horrible site I have ever seen. My preferences were not met, on the contrary they sent me anything they had. There's no protection for re-use of your photos. I added watermarks to prevent re-use but they refused to post them. Most matches who communicated with me were fake. I saw the same photos with different names/age/city several times. The site has no control. They also allow non-members who have not paid AND do not have photos up to contact you. I contacted them twice but to no avail
There are NUMEROUS profiles of "women" that are fake, and there is a pattern that they follow. Most of the "female" scammers are foreign born but have lived in the US for a while. They live outside the distance parameters established on my profile. Parents are dead now and always self employed. They also are out of town on a business trip working on a contract. They spend about a week enticing you to fall in love with them. When they think they have you snared, they ask you to either send them money or material things of value, such as a computer, iPhone, etc. In many cases they claim to have been robbed and lost their phones and computers. Just remember. Once they ask for money, it is no longer real.
This is a true copy of a paragraph in the dating app. It was rejected! The following is cut and paste. I question their probable docially biased justification. Otherwise there is not a reasonable cause of rejection of my statement.
REJECTED
How I describe myself:
I am an Orthodox Christian with traditional social values. I am tolerant, non judgmental, well educated, cultured & I can be creative. I am calm, kind, soft spoken and have a charming accent. I am thoughtful, attentive, easy to talk to, avoid confrontations & trustworthy. If there is a tear I will take wipe it. If there is a virtue I will support it. I was told to be romantic. I like walking, swimming, traveling especially to Europe, gardening, cooking, music, museums and of course the beaches.
As well as other statements. Number of words does not exceed their requirement.
Since I'm over 70 I thought SS would be the perfect site to meet a good man my age. Sadly I was wrong! 9 out of 10 of the matches who reached out to me or I to them ended up being fake scammers! After my first encounter of be stood up at the church meeting place I started communicating with SSCustomer Service based in Berlin. GERMANY. Nice representative that apologized and assured me they were working on it. They have standard language response that I get each time I email SS about another fake person who has contacted me. Now I wonder if SS customer service is for real because it the same "sorry" response? And they have no credited my account as i asked. I've demanded my money back that I paid upfront 6 months (required to even communicate with anyone). I NEED SS to tell me they will give me my money back and cancel out my account and all thevdata about me. Im so disappointed. I've spent so much time and effort for nothing!
I joined about 3 weeks ago. Not impressed. For the first couple of days I got a few matches that were local, but now all I get are 100% out of state matches, half the matches have no picture or a completed profile. How is that even allowed? You shouldn't be able to post a profile until you're profile is complete and at least one picture is up. The handful that were local were poor matches as far as commonalities go, and the two that actually wrote vanished into thin air with no warning. I believe it's called ghosting. I call it rude. At any rate don't spend your hard earned money. It's the same crap as all the other dating sites.
Scammers. This should be zero stars!
I joined yesterday and answered all the relevant questions. I added photos of myself and then got on with other things. That evening, I went to log into the website and my email address was not recognised.
Today, I sent an email to customer services to find out what was going on. I was told that there were some inconsistencies with my profile so I have been blocked from the website. They actually wanted me to email them a copy of both my drivers licence and passport to verify whom I was. Scammers...Do not send your personal details to a random website that has more complaints than anyone enjoying it. They actually seem to allow real scammer on their website and discredit real genuine people. It would not surprise me if most of the profiles were from genuine people who are blocked and this is why most people will never get a response!
Personally, I think they saw a black lady and blocked me because they are racist. Anyone who knows me know I am honest. And anyone who knows me, knows who I am. I am so glad I did not provide my bank details!
DO NOT JOIN THIS RACIST THIEVING WEBSITE.
This site is full of fake profiles. I have received over 10 messages from silver singles that profiles contacted me were not verified. My preferences I put in are ignored and I receive messages from all over the country. I tried contacting customer service but have not heard back. I tried to address it on my profile page but it was rejected. This was what I posted
"Interesting site. I've had no less than a dozen likes where I've been notified that the profiles could not be verified. So I'll make it easier so I can hopefully stop getting scams. I'm looking to meet someone in the west palm beach area, preferably within 30 miles. I'm not interested in using WhatsApp or any other web based platform. I'm more traditional and will either use this site to communicate or when you're ready, text or talk." Again, the rejected it. In my opinion, waste of time and money
This site gives you the same people over within a couple of weeks and falsely reports that you liked them. Most people don't even have profile pics and there is no way to report fraudulent or fake profiles. They got my $ but I'm not wasting any more time.
First, it's not "free." In order to see anyone that's contacted you, a subscription is necessary. What's the point of "browsing" if there's no contact? I did one month only (Thank God). The app totally ignores your preferences that you set and most matches I got each day were completely outside of them. I was lucky to see even one that was in my home state! Second, the app is almost unusable on an iPhone or iPad. I had to always use the browser version to reply to any messages. There's no real monitoring of the profiles. I had to report more than a few who felt the need to send me offensive messages because they disagreed with my political views. I received approx 6-8 contacts per day and almost all were looking for just pen or phone pals and not relationships. Spend your money on another dating site. This one is a total waste.
Answer: You do not want to sign up to this site for even a minute. They are scammers through and through. They will have no matches for you but will clear your bank account. Please don't join.
Answer: File disputes with your CC company and/or PayPal I am fighting for a refund also report them to anyone that matters we have to get the word out
Answer: YOU BEEN SCAMMED! I PAID ABOUT THE SAME, BUT I WAS ABLE TO SIGN ON AND USE IT. BELIEVE ME, YOU'RE BETTER OFF AS IT'S FULL OF SCAMMERS, MEN POSING AS WOMEN AND WOMEN POSING AS MEN TO GET YOUR $$$. I HAVE 457 "MATCHES" ACCORDING TO THEM. 457? BS
