Yes, Black People Meet, Senior Black People Meet, Brother Meet Black People, brother meet a brother and later meet a sister, black brother meet a aunt. Back brother can ya spare a dime for ya time., all of their sister, brother and cousin sites are scams. Their practices are truly deceptive and need to stop.
I am not stating that all of the people advertising their singlehood status is false. So if the ocean kissed the sand in your case, kudos to you and yours. And BPM, et.al. Can't control who signs up for their service.
Have you ever noticed the following:
The moment you decide to end the membership, you get several "fake " flirts? Or, the pricing begins to fluctuate.
Close to the holidays, especially Valentines Day, you get fake flirts--and fake messages.
When you receive messages and respond--the responses are computer generated..., and duplicated. When you pay, the end. No more messages.
I posted a similar message instead of my profile--as I got tired of the fakes--my post was deleted several times. These responses are coming from management, or possibly individuals who are paid to "just respond".
I would love to have all of my money returned as the site is fraudulent. A class action lawsuit would work at best.
Added: There are also notes that I reviewed certain profiles, what a lie! I was shocked when i reviewed these people who I never reviewed. Inside job 4 real.
Been using numerous dating sites. Aske me, Blackpeoplemeet is rate one of the best as far as being a legit w/no scammer, hackers. Etc. I still had some doubt when I signed up a few weeks ago and I was getting crap full of message just like the fake dating sites. But after chatting a while I was sent three phone numbers and two emails for direct contact. Im a sneaky person when it comes to paid dating scams. Blackpeoplemeet ain't no scam for sure. Also worth checking out is Blacksingles4u. Same story different site. Crap full of messages when u sign up but legit option.
I made my profile today and within an hour I had over 60 messages/flirts. And then it all made sense I got two different profile views from two different men from 2 different states with the same exact profile... word for word. I took a screenshot folks! I thought I was actually going to meet a decent black guy.
My profile is REAL; I'm REAL. I actually met 3 guys on the site; and I have the phone numbers of 2 others. One of the 3 and myself hit if off quite well; and we are still in touch... HOWEVER, there are some "not so good" men on this site. You see their profile... then you don't. Some of their profiles are VERY similar in content (even with the SAME NAME); some don't have profile photos, and when you ask for it, a FLIRT is sent making it seem as if I am interested; this also happens when you go to "My Daily Matches" "Who Do You Like" and "I'm Interested". Now, giving me the option to decide has been taken away from me AND it's sending the wrong message. If I don't actually "click" on a profile, don't send the members under these categories a "View" from me; because I didn't view them.And another thing: women's picture are showing up under "Who Do You Like" and "New Members In Your Area." I DON'T ROLL LIKE THAT! I'M STRAIGHT/HETEROSEXUAL/LOVE MEN!' And when I send an email regarding these issues, and if they respond, they don't EVER address the issues! Now, I can't login (the error message says "the connection is not private" and I was just on the site last night and on the phone with one of their representatives yesterday! When I called the number just a little while ago, it AUTOMATICALLY disconnects. I have been with this site, off and on, since 2015; and my current subscription ends on March 31.
Their system is WAY out of date; and no one seems to care!
Don't look for perfection. When I first saw my husband on BPM, it wasn't love at first site. But we exchanged "picture likes," talked on the phone and then we met. He turned out the be the sweetest man I have ever met. We will be married in 11 days and I am so happy. If I could have sat down and written exactly what I wanted, I could not have done better than what God has done. Thank you God and BPM!
I have been on this site for quite awhile. I have gone out with some nice men and also some crazies. I engage them for two to three weeks in phone conversations before I actually meet them. I have been fooled a few times but not many. I have not met a match yet, but I refuse to settle. I have not had a problem with billing
Hello,
I am getting A LOT of fake profiles. Why is this? I also get messages in my in box that say that I have "flirted" with someone which is not the case. I met this one guy with whom I connected and we were messaging. He didn't seem fake. But after two days without hearing back from him, I went into his profile. Lo and behold, it was taken off the website. It had me confused.
Just like everyone else I should have read the reviews first im have the same problems ITS A SCAM TO GET YOUR MONEY THE SEND FAKE FLIRTS AND MESSAGES ON YOUR BEHAVE WITHOUT YOU EVEN KNOWING IT UNTIL YOU START TO SEARCHING THE SITE FOR YOUR SELF YOUR OUT BOX INBOX, IM PISSED OFF ABOUT TO START A LAWSUIT! BE PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY SPENDING THEIR MONEY TO MEET NEW PEOPLE AND THE SITE IS TRICKING AND DECEIVING US THE ENTIRE TIME WHILE STEALING OUR MONEY!
I'm a single male who signed up for this site and have been having the same issues as other men. Most of the profiles are fake! Most start out with "I'm obsessed with eating out", or "I usually know what I want and won't stop till I get it". I paid for the site and while it was paid, I barely got any flirts, messages or likes. EACH TIME I cancelled my membership, I would get about 90+ notifications. 30 flirts! 18 messages! 25 Photo Likes! 30 people made me their favorite. When you pay to read the messages, they came from nowhere. No one replies! Then POOF! No more messages... Until you cancel again. This site is a SCAM! Today i got a photo like, a favorite, and a flirt from a woman on the site. It showed that she was available for chat. I went to chat with her, but it said that she was offline in chat. I still sent her a chat asking her if she actually sent me those messages, then she replied and said she never sent anything. Then I look again and that message was gone from my inbox. Then her profile was gone. This site is a shame!
I decided to join an online dating site for the first time; I should have read the reviews first. When I first joined I had 90 views of my photo, 6 messages, and flirts. The site was also showing where I had flirted with men, this was not true. After I paid for the 1 month subscription all of the messaging, views, and flirts came to an end. I think they generate all of the activity on your profile to get you to spend money; which is a scam. The site needs to be cleaned up and attention given to the false entrapment and false attention given to their subscribers. BPM has the potential to provide a service but, to many false representations from the company, and their subscribers make BPM a bad choice.
I've been on this site for about a year. As a Black female in the 40-60 age group is just down right hurtful, horrible, deceptive and disgusting. I have never in my life been so stressed up and depress from this site! I don't know why the FTC won't get involve and investigate this horrible site! You have men who put up fake profiles, indicating their divorce, seeking marriage or serious relationship when most of them are already MARRIED looking for a sidekick. Some claim to be bankers, loan officers, when they are car salesmen. They are abusive verbally and many have criminal records especially DUI and Domestic Violence. You got players on there in there 60s married trying to date 5-6 women at once that live nearby while also married. You got those that are in prison that have cell phones and they try to hook you for when they get out of prison they have a place to come. Most of these men have recently got out of failed marriages and are bitter. There're looking for one night stands, they do drugs and are alcoholics. It's a sad sight it's disgusting. If you find anyone who looks half way decent they do not live in your state and many have serious fake profiles. I have never in my life been so disappointed and hurt from the results. Fraud and Deceptive practices on this site needs to be reported to FTC for investigation because you are paying your money to find someone and none of them are trustworthy. Liars and practices emotional pain. This site either needs to clean up its act or be shut down! It causes more problems of sadness than happiness! You have to watch out for the Kevin Jenkins 61, looking for marriage, serious relationship out of Chandler, AZ who claims to have just relocated from Texas last 3 months! Big lie! Kevin Jenkins aka "Closer 56" name on BPM is very married of 21 years to Regina Jenkins, Real Estate Agent at Century 21 in Gilbert, AZ and yet he claims he's divorced so he can pull women on the side. Closer 56 claims to be a lot of things but he's a car salesman at Henry Brown GMC in Gilbert AZ and will try to manipulate you into getting a car. Once you meet him he's a charmer at first then he turns nasty on you and starts with emotional and verbal abuse and he really lives in Queen Creek w/wife. Been living in AZ for the past 5 years from TX and just watch out for him and his kind because if you don't you will be sorry after you find out you have been taken advantage of in the worse way! Ladies be cautious on this site these men are horrible! Take it from someone who has experience the evil side of online dating! Never think you are the ony one may one of 5-10 other women! Oh yes they light to ghost a lot and gaslight a lot very abusive men!
Not perfect but good. If u weren't lucky u may wanna use blacksingles4u highly recommend it. My opinion: u can't meet someone using one of those two sites u should really just go out and meet people in a bar. In that case online datin is just not for u. My opinion Those are the only 2 sites worth joining, forget the rest.
I cancelled my account and they still continued to charge me and then told me I could not get a refund nor speak to a supervisor, scammers
It shows that I viewed people who I have not. I can hide my profile and it shows how many people viewed it (how can they view a hidden profile). Good site but need to be honest. I have met friends which is a good thing but hope BPM will stop trying to make a sale by doing these sneaky inside jobs. I contact them but they are in denial.
Joined for 30 days an all I find on there is a bunch of 2 dollar chicks trying to get fed a meal due to a past broken heart. Most send in 3-4 year old dated pics an some send neck up pics that don't show the bottom of there anatomy which generally means they are obese. Please join eharmony my black brothers as caucasino woman await us on there an plenty of fish as I'm soooo done with these hood rat black woman that don't know there $#*! holes from there elbows..
I joined to meet black men, I continuously get hit on by white men. I joined to meet men, there's a bunch of boys sending flirts and picture likes, no confidence, just cowards. I made it clear in my profile not to send a bunch of likes and no flirts. I also stopped bpm from emailing me every time on of these cowards send a flirt or like and they removed me and won't refund me. Go to POF, at least it's free. BPM is a joke!
I see a lot of horror stories on here but I also hear a lot of horror stories from "Traditional Daters"... BPM is what you make it... just because it's online dating that doesnt guarantee a Magical Experience... but in my case, IT DID! It can for you too... wishing you much love & happiness!
They say its free to brows right, i did for a minute so i decided to do the 1 month for 16.75. Afterwards i sstarte afterwards, all of a sudden men start hitting me up but i couldn't respond back. It would say upgrade to be able to read what they're saying. My thought was UPGRADE for what. If i wasnt going to be able to communicate why did i just pay 16.75. When just browsing is free. I called my debit card to check if they've taken the money and i got very upset to hear 2 payments pending. 1 for 16.75 and 1 for 3.99. What was the 3.99 for. So i called my bank and put a stop on it and now all i say is $#*! bpm because they are scammers and ppl yall need to call and put a block on them because they are slick and they will continue to take your money even after your time is up. They tried to take a extra 3.99 out of my account and for what
I'm not able to log into my renewed account but the payment is already paid. I've sent several messages. I'm frustrated I just want my money bac...
Don't used this site they will not cancel you if are a membership they will charge you twice on your credit card I had to cancel my credit card and I had to dispute to get a refund back on my account do not be a membership on this site plus they used Indiana customer service even their Supervisor is from India claim they are here in Texas and they will not help you to cancel and they will charge you 99 dollars to deactivated your account I will notified BBB the best thing for this site is to get a prepaid card just enough they can only take certain amount on the card and transaction will not go through if they keep charging you or dispute it to get your refund back. I would rate them 0 not 1 they don't even deserve a 1
Answer: Yes you have to pay. You can send flirts etc. I agree with Alicia, it's legit if your looking for losers, bums, ex cons or emotionally unstable men. I would never in life go back up there. That site is disgusting. Please be very safe. Lol Tinder is the best site for dating.
Answer: You will have to get local police or private investigator involved. Most forensic teams can track the person down by their ip address and other forensic techniques that the public sector isn't aware of.
