Total waste of time

The website is much the same many others today, complete scam the say hi is a scam designed to use up your money. Pointless continuing with it unless you like the dopamine hit and want to burn money.

An adult playground
November 4, 2024

1. When you pay per month, you purchase space to put your profile, search others, and communicate without giving out your contact info. But when you pay per message, you are paying for a person's attention and conversation. Not my idea dating.

2. I sent one of the canned 'Hi' messages to a girl and she sent me more than one letter per day - some were sexually explicit invitations... Not my idea of meeting a total stranger.

3. I found out the hard way that the site 'stole' more than 2/3 of my 'credits'. By charging me for video chats, although I never had any. Even when I was logged out and my device was OFF! I found it in my billing history. I pointed it out, and the site assured me that
* the site has great service
* customers are very important
* and, the site has great service.
Oh, and everything is my fault.
I later discovered that less than 20% of what went missing was returned.

4. Also, I communicated with one girl with "Fair" English. But her letters were native speaker grammatically correct (I've taught a lot of English as a Second Language), with educated native speaker vocabulary, and a high style. It competes with my BEST writing; few native speakers in my country can write that well! But, our first contact had a different writing style. And. The other letters were consistent with scammer letters: specifically, they could be sent to anyone, and don't refer to my earlier comments or my profile - other than my photo (which was blank) really impressed her.

Through a reverse photo search I found her on multiple social media and news sites regarding her profession, and I really don't think she is the type to be a scammer. (Previously, I had been corresponding with a girl on another site and went to meet her. She was not aware of some of the letters her profile had sent to me...)

5. This is by far the most expensive site of the almost three dozen I've registered on: the other pay-per-letter sites allow you to read for free. Here, you even need to pay to send a canned "Hi" message (two per day are free! - but never to the same girl: but if you have too many unanswered ones, you can't send out another "Hi"). Many sites allow you to get free credits or otherwise send a few free letters, but not here.

To sum up:
Paying for women's' attention
Most expensive site
Includes sexually explicit letters from strangers
Lost most of my money for services I did not ask for, or receive
Language style can be inconsistent across letters
Language level can be inconsistent with stated English level
Writing style consistent with scammers I met elsewhere
I suspect that some of the letters are not known by the person who supposedly sent them
Practically nothing for free: no "try before you buy".

Fake ladies
October 19, 2024

This site is full of ladies that make money off the site. They all join up through agencies. The ladies get paid for every letter that you open or send to them. They are all scammers.
Their profiles are all lies in particular their jobs. Vets, Doctors and the like.
I spent 6 years on the site. I have the experience to back this up.
Watch out for lady ID C******* Ivanna.She says that she is a Vet. She even gave me a false last name.I went to meet her twice. Every time an excuse as to why she couldnt make it. This is standard on the site. No show.
Ivanna is full time on the site insisting on phone calls and chat. The site prices are 399.00 for 100 credits. You burn through 70 credits in an hour.
The ladies offer to call you. Great you think. The catch is that the call is actually collect and you pay for the call!...LOL
You can burn through 500.00 USD a week easily. You even pay to open a letter and picture.
When you complain about a lady the site gives you 4 credits to shut you up. The site takes the side of the lady. The answer is a well written "pump up your tyres and on your bike" statement.
I went to Ukraine to twice to meet two different Ladies. They never showed up. Excuses like you have never heard before. They are clever and cunning.
Ukraine is rotten from top to bottom and this is reflected in the ladies on the site. They have all been 'cheated on". It takes two to tango so the Men are part of this as well.
There other sites that are more legitimate. Dont be fooled with Charmdate or the ladies on it.

This is great because this site is very simple to use. It is still reasonably decent, even though it could be better. Offering a simple experience, it fulfills its function as an individual environment for user. Enjoy to spend time on it.

A dating website pretending to offer you the woman of your dreams to love, only to be given empty promises and empty you of your desire and money.

Tip:
Reverse Image search most girls on this site they will lead you elsewhere off the to show who the girl really is. Generally you will find to her to be a Model, Social Media Personality or Escort/Porn star. Showing that this sites either steal or pay these women for photos and content to help build the false idea that girls are single and looking for love and taking you for your money.

It claim to be a safe platform though. Would advise users not to place all personal information online such as your address, pictures of your family, or work place as the site is not liable for any risks exposed to its users.

It is laughable that this site is giving Charm Date 4 out of 5 stars. Charm Date is a site that fraudulently has models who engage in pretend relationships to get male users to spend large sums of money on Charm Date. That is actually easy to do, since the fees Charm Date charges are outrageous. To read a single email and reply to it can cost $15 (US). To use the video chat service can cost of up $200 an hour, to use the voice call service will cost $100 an hour. There is an option to request a female member's personal contact information. There is a huge fee charged for that, I'm not even sure what it is, but the site will tell you *after* you intiate the request.

I would not trust any of the 4 star reviews here. The Charm Date site is a fraud.

A nice touch
May 12, 2023

I think the verification process has in place to ensure the authenticity of profiles. However, some people are still inactive or unresponsive.The gift delivery service is a nice touch too, and it allows to show appreciation to those I am interested in. However, the prices for gifts are quite high.

This is site charmdate is similar to anastasia.com. Both of these are money making site. They have too many restrictions before they let us contact the ladies. I've spent a lot of money and so far nothing to show for. 80% of the ladies profiles are not there. They just put these to attract men to spend a lot of money. Most of the ladies are between 18 and 30. From writing letters to some ladies, most of them are very immature. Most of them have fake face including big lips like fish and fake makeup, so it's very hard to find out how they really look. These ladies would say anything to move out of these countries. Warning to men, be very careful. You will be wasting a lot of money for nothing.

Scam
June 27, 2022

I was sent a link via email to Charmdate (charmchat!). They had obviously farmed my details from some other dating site in UK.

Do not be deluded into thinking this honey pot site is in any way genuine. They are making $*******'s - a portion of which goes to the women - or translator - or feller - or whoever is at the other end actually!
The English and smutty language is too good to be true from a Slavic woman.
They are all having a laugh - literally at our expense!
I wasted $1500 before I wised up! Now I feel totally duped and pretty stupid!
Lots of nice romantic mails from certain 'ladies' for sure, but get them in the chat room and the language is completely different.
Look - if you have cash to waste - you might get an expensive thrill from this site, but as others have said, the Chinese and Russian connections suggest the bulk of the cash is going to Russia.
Any phone or video call you setup is done via Hong Kong.
I actually had a very nice abbreviated chat with a 'lady' who went on to suggest we meet up in London as her son is at Medical School here. There is no such institution as the London medicine school.

The very alluring shots of the models were obviously taken professionally Many years ago - probably around 10 years prior for the 40-50 yr olds they claimed to be. To then see them on video looking very different is disturbing to say the least, but part of the seduction.

My advice - steer we'll clear!

Scam or Real
June 25, 2022

So the russians in the ukraine didnt cut all comunications in the current war, they seem to have left internet service providers intact. And its nice to see all the lovely girls are happy and living normal lives, and that they feel that internet dating is more important than war. No one seems to mention they have a war there.
Why hasnt the site, banned russian women from being members while this war persists?
I guess the site must be real and we are just listening to media popaganda, and its the war thats actually fake.

Absolute scam.
June 23, 2022

The ladies never ever turn up to meet you when arranged. There is always an excuse.
4 years later after communicating with one lady says it all.
The credits cost 399.00 USD and you use these like drinking water.
It costs 250.00 USD per week to communicate with a lady.
Please dont ever go on cam share and down load pics. You will spend 399.00 USD in one hour and then they expect you to be on there for longer.

I have been on this site for 4 years 65k later so yes I know how it works. Go to a hooker and you will have change... LOL
