SilverSingles

I've been on this site for a couple of months now and have received several email notifications saying I've been contacted by a scammer. Also I receive a lot of form messages from scammers and men trying to take advantage. On the rare occurrence I've actually talked with someone, their profile magically gets taken down. Why? Because they were a scammer. If I send someone a smile all the scammers seems to know about it and I suddenly get flooded with smiles and messages from fake people. Don't bother with this site, it is a huge waste of money.

I signed for 3 months and can't wait to end. I get at least a dozen "smiles" a day which I believe are computer generated as I have followed up and received zero communication from the originator. On a daily basis, I receive at least two messages that a user has found the love of her life but her friend wants me to contact her via email or phone. Believe me, they are scammers trying to get your number and/or email address to take over your account, email, bank account, etc. I have contacted SilverSingles at least two dozen times complaining about this and it is still happening. Oh, and those women who post their one photo with their phone number on it, fake too! Don't waste you time and money. Too many scammers here.

I signed up for a one-month membership, for $27.99, just to test it out. Imagine my surprise when I received a PayPal receipt for $167.00. I immediately reached out to their customer service department, questioning how this could have happened and requesting they immediately refund me the difference. I also made it clear that the site was not providing the caliber of matches I was seeking (they were seriously horrendous and so far away, and completely beyond the age range I requested).
I did receive a very courteous email within 24 hours, apologizing and asking what they could do to make SS a better experience for me, and they did initiate a refund for the $167.00 and it has already hit my PayPal account so there's that, at least.
I responded to the email and again asked the agent to please tell me how I was charged that much money for the one-month membership in the first place.
I have not heard back and my guess is that I won't.

Save yourself. Do not join this site.

Scammers that only collect money and create fraudulent profiles
Fake profiles most likely created by the Silver Singles people. 5+ fraudulent connections-messages and 5+ fake profiles. Maybe 5 people of 200 suggested profiles were legit. Most of who contacted me, were fishing for my personal information - SCAM! The site most likely is Bogus just to collect personal info and $$$$!
I set a 50 mile radius for suggested partners, age preference and other criteria, but got 1000 miles away, and not what I selected as preferences. 95% of All profiles are Fake. What a JOKE! Do NOT join this site!
They refuse to give me a refund regardless many complaints and literally NO hits. SCAM!

I can't believe that Silver Singles is rated as a top dating site by many rating sites. I was conversing with a man on the site and when I refused to give him my phone number, he told me he hopes "my mother and daughter die tomorrow". Then, "actually, my whole family dies tomorrow." I reported the profile to the site and asked for a refund and they refused. A few days later I got a security alert email from them about the same man and still they would not give me a refund. Every man I've messaged with on this site has ended up with a security alert email from the site.

Also, all of the matches they suggest are from people who are at least 300 miles away.

Don't waste your time or money!

Silversingles is an awful site. No matter what I write for my profile it is automatically rejected and I need to write to customer service to have it approved. I'm guessing that many people have this problem because there are so many incomplete profiles when I look at my "matches". The "matches" that they make for me are much further away than the 100 mile radius that I requested. I also get a large number of messages from fake profiles. I know because I've gotten a number of "Security Alert" messages from them. I've learned to recognize certain messages as being fake and I've learned not to respond to a message right away because I can't tell if the person is real or not. I've already made sure that my subscription will not renew. This is my first experience with a dating site and I'm hoping that not every site is like this. Don't waste your time and money here.

They charge you up front to use site and once your on and build your profile they sent you matches as usual but you set a range and they feed you people from the whole data base. Lucky if there are a few within your true search. Note they won't refund you for your upfront. Charges either. Criminal they run with your 179 bucks and not even proven results for matches. Would rather use the free sites and put up with catfish and scam accounts

I contacted them after I received a notificatin my password was changged, which I did not do. Then was told I didn't have an account since 2021 and upon inquiry told the name was changed. They did not cancel or close the account after I provided the requessted ID. I went in and closed it, but I don't know if they had access to my billing information. They should have closed the account and taken info down when I provided my information to them. So far they have not done a thing to protect me or my information. Nor the people I was in contact with. I then logged back in to the closed account and deleted my profile, which I guess I should have done in the first place. But no one told me what to do. They are useless.
PS half the men that contacted me were scammers and phonies.

Don't waste your hard-earned money on this website. There is little to no oversight in who presents themselves, and half of the profiles are fake, scammers, and big-time "Love Bombers" trying to win your heart so they can set you up for an "ask" (money). Ladies, if you are a widow, BEWARE. Profiles of some of these men disappear, but there is no notification to those who communicated that there was misconduct. I've learned that I am better off alone! Read up on online dating "Red Flags." Educate yourself or your heart will be broken.

Be careful who you deal with on this site. They are mostly foreign men showing off a fancy life style trying to charm with sweet words and sending fake pictures of food they make taken online,. Be careful do not interact or reveal all your information till you really know them well and do a video call at a later stage. I only met one person so far who was real and able to establish a friendship with genuine intentions out of the many men who contacted me.
