I've been on several online dating sites and Silver Singles is by far the most rampant with scammers. It's a dangerous site. It's very apparent these scammers are hacking legit profiles and they'll do it for yours!
I really wonder if there are any live bodies behind the portraits posted on this site. Few ever respond, although I've gotten a number of the scam emails trying to elicit a private email address and/or phone number. There is simply very little interaction with the "players," which leads me to believe that members are simply cruising. Try Senior Match instead.
Okay so I decided to bite the bullet and pay for a dating site. Grant it I didn't do much research. I heard about Silversingles on a television ad. So I signed up. I've been on about a month now and even though I've written guys they have never replied. Even when it says they are active. So I'm thinking its just a fake app that took my money and now they are laughing at me. I've only had one person say they are not interested and have received a couple of smiles. But when I replied... nothing. So hopefully my comments will save someone $150. Don't sign up.

I was with Silver Singles from March until August. I didn't think very highly of their site as I asked for a 50 mile radius for suggested partners, yet I was getting results from over 400 miles away. Deleted my account but now they are threatening me with legal action because I didn't give them proper notice I was leaving. Whatever you do, do not join this site, it is a nightmare to leave.
I have paid for 6 month premium package. Very disappointed, have encountered fake profiles and scammers several times. So thankful I have a keen sense of those who set out to try to get you to leave site so they can trick you into sending money.
When you identify profile as abuse, you have no way of commenting. When you reach out to support center for help response is slow, poor, or non existent. I would not waste my time or money.
I cannot wait until my subscription ends..
I have experienced great difficulty with receiving matches based on my preferences. When I first contacted Silver Singles about this, they said my preferences were too "strict". I changed several of my preferences but not "distance" which I have set at 50 miles. I continued to receive matches from 100 miles to matches from other states that are over 150 miles away. Customer Service tells me my matches have indeed met my preferences. Matches that do show up within my 50 mile preference are "under review", that means they cannot see or reply to messages. Silver Singles uses this to get you to try and contact these matches so they can send an E mail to this "free member" saying "look, you have a message, sign up now to read it". What a lousy business model.
This site has no verification process and is loaded with fake accounts. I have tried other dating sites that have some issues with fake accounts but Silver Singles was my worst experience. You can tell the fake accounts by the single picture that looks like a model and the content is scripted. I kept seeing several accounts with the exact same intro. "I'm an educated man so I'd like to date someone who is educated. I like to paint in my free time." Awful service. Try any other site if you're seriously searching.
It's site has bee awful from day one. First of all it keeps blocking my profile information and there's nothing wrong with it I don't understand why my height has been blocked why things I put on here being blocked. I pay for a whole year subscription and nothing happens on the site. Now they want me to pay more money. Save your time go somewhere else and do not sign up for this site. It's a joke
Horrible customer service.matches were too far away to be feasible for dating.They respond to emails with bots.I had to go to my bank to get a refund.Don't waste your time.This is a garbage site that you have no chance on.
The matches they sent were scary!
I get emails about someone and after I click on view profile, that someone is nowhere to be found. Instead, it looks like I get everybody that's on the site except for the one that is referenced in the email...I prepaid for 6 six months.bad choice on my part, but hey "live and learn"...One of the worse sites ever...I do not recommend. I won't even mention a scammer I ran into in this review. Needless to say, I would be an idiot to renew my membership.
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
