SilverSingles

I found 3 guys in my area they send a smile I message them not one response not one face picture I'm sorry I wasted my money on this site

I am 72. Divorced, and no stranger to on line 'dating'. Meeting now, is just as challenging, as dating. In my 2nd six month membership now with SilverSingles. It started out ok, then turned to a huge pain. They can not get a grip on the profiles that appear with a text/phone number written on the ONE picture. OR their name is an email address. I included some examples. Just a phishing technique. You will even get the elaborate paste and send bit that their profile was a success, they are getting married soon and it was their last day (so don't bother replying) but my friend saw your profile and has been all over me to get you to contact them. Then an email to write to. Etc etc. Madness. Silver singles brags on their ability to find these idiots. NO, they don't. I get 20+ a day of all three spammer messages. The vast majority come from someone way out of your age preferences, but the spammers are moving that age around. Silver singles also owns Elite singles so there must be no desired age limits given there? One customer service rep bragged that they were the 3 largest Christian dating sites in the world. WHAT? That was news to me. Lol. They mix in all the profiles from the sites. Customer service is terrible. It was ok at first, when I joined, but now it is dismal. Just vetting the fakes takes up your precious time. Doing their job, come to mind. It's hopeless, and the one or two people I have had contact with seem to drift away or I have to scroll thru the maze of spammers to see the 'thread'. It has gotten so bad I figured it was some sort of corporate espionage from a larger company, to buy their name, as this site and two more are based out of Berlin. As if Covid was not bad enough, now a war in Europe, and what solstice was given from online meeting has turned into another misery. Typical of a lot of dating sites. Just give me your CC #...
Last line. Don't waste your TIME or your MONEY.

I've tried too many online dating sites and apps to count, with little success. To a single guy like me in my late 50's, the idea of a site like Silver Singles that catered specifically to people 50 and over seemed like a great idea that would thin out the crowd and make it easier to connect with a compatible companion. The first problem was that the free membership is basically useless, but previous experience made that no surprise. I decided to pay for six months and see how it went.

After forking over my money and trying the site for a week or so, not only were the overwhelming majority of my "matches" WELL beyond reasonable driving distance, but the site is also full of women obviously in their 20s, 30s and 40s. With due respect, I didn't understand why they were granted membership on what's supposed to be an over 50 dating site. On top of that were countless profiles with no photos, and "smiles" from extremely young women from all over the country with phone numbers and email addresses scrawled over their profile pics. Obvious spammers. When I complained about these things, I was told that although they focused on the over 50 crowd, they permitted younger people because "it wouldn't be fair" if they were excluded. To say nothing of the unfairness of forcing the over 50 crowd they claim to focus on to weed out all the completely incompatible profiles. They also claimed to be very serious about fraud and safety while saying that every photo is screened before posting, but virtually every single "smile" I received that showed a profile photo had either a phone number or email address in the photo. They're obviously NOT serious about keeping the fakes out.

Don't waste your time or money with Silver Singles. It's FAR more phony than real.

I met a nice guy who claimed he was an expert sharp shooter who was finishing his contract in Turkey. He was done in July 2023 n back home to Michigan. We hit it off well with lots of plans for our future together. He went on a tour for 10 days or so n when he came back he said he twisted his knee while running from gun fighting. He had surgery n since I worked in the operating room for 25 years I knew what kind of questions to ask him. Everytime I would ask what did the Dr do, he would reply, Dr said I'll be fine. His 16 yr old daughters bday was in July. She was living with her grandmother cause her mother passed 2 yrs ago of cancer. We were texting (always texting never phone calls)n he said Paula's bday was in few days n could I send her 5000.00. I asked why so much. She loves shoes n bags, n he wanted to upgrade her electronics. I asked why not have mother in law buy her gifts till u get home in a few weeks? Or why couldn't he just send her the money. When these shooters come back from a mission, they had to be deactivated including his computer. This time his computer wasn't working properly n he couldn't send money. Then I said to get it fixed or wait till u get home. So I refused to send money. That was the day he became so mad at me which I finally called him a scamer. That was the last time in over a week he talked to me. So I decided to tell him I'll send money (which I wasn't but wanted to see how he would of given me the info I wanted n I wanted to see how this scam worked.) He never sent me his mother in laws info. N I haven't spoken to him again. I would like to post pics of him so other women could be warned about him. His name is Kenny Kyle Oates.
Ladies don't fall for this!
