ChemistryReviews 57

I had contact with 4 men within a 1 week period. 3 turned out to only be looking for someone dumb enough to send them money to Ghana or Malaysia or somewhere else. The other one hacked into my account. When I called Chemistry about it they scammed me by sending me to technical support. They told me my email account had been hacked and charged me $200.00 to fix it. They did not fix it and when I called Chemistry back, they said I had been scammed and they sent me to another onsite company that would get rid of the hackers and the worm my computer now had. I ended up taking my computer to a local IT place and nothing was wrong with it or my email. When I called back again trying to get back into my account so I could cancel it they rep told me I was stupid because I wouldn't let them get rid of the hacker. I finally got through to the billing department and told them what was going on. They said my profile had been shut down and they refunded my money. I'm checking my credit card to make sure they don't charge me again. I will not use Chemistry or refer anyone to the site. SCAMMERS!

Chemistrys user data base has been hacked or they are selling personal user information. During the past year or so every time I log on to Chemistry I immediately receive several pay for play or or porn type invitations on my personal e mail account. Lately I have been getting e mails on Chemistry using my real name. There is no way other users could have gotten this except through Chemistrys member data base. I tried to live chat with a Chemistry customer service rep about this and she rudely terminated the chat.

I sometimes think that Chemistry is a place where Match sends misbehaving employees as punishment, or perhaps it is just a honey pot for scammers, or maybe a place where failed web programmers are sent to work. Or all of the above. It is, hands down, the very worst singles website in existence, if you don't count the ones that apparently are reserved for North Korean political prisoners.

On any given day, I can guarantee that I will get more scam mail than real mail, most of it beginning with the phrase "txtme" or some variation thereof. If *I* can figure out that 100% of the time such a prefix is 100% indicative of a scammer, why can't the employees? Yet, literally thousands of these messages roll in, every day, inundating the site. One would think that at least the scammers themselves would give up, except they don't. Apparently some people are stupid enough to be scammed... even by really obvious scammers.

The site itself is pretty exciting in that it can take 2 seconds or 5 hours to load, so you never know quite what you are getting if and when it finally does. And if it does, you might get text, or HTML, or some weird mixture of stuff that is unreadable. Considering the impeccable appearance of match.com, I can only conclude that neophyte and/or failed programmers are sent to Chemistry as penance.

The loading times and variance indicate to me that the site itself is running on an Apple II that is so caked in dust and debris that the internal temperature is about 10K Celsius - the approximate temperature of Hell. I am equally certain that the internet connection is a 56K modem also running just a little too hot (!) on dial-up 100 year old copper lines still managed by Pacific Bell.

Finally, just to make it all fun, there is the "Free Communication Weekend", which is exactly what it sounds like - a weekend in which you can do... whatever it is you do, free. Which would be good except that every scammer on the planet takes advantage of these weekends to blast out as much garbage as they possibly can ("am 34 Year old man lking fr wife. My heart stop when i see yr Profile. And i know at that moment that we are destined to b togther. Snd email to me *******@twk.ghana.net so's we can gt to know ech other rightaway" etc. Ad nauseaum.

So yeah, Chemistry.com is a great place to have a good laugh, meet a bunch of scammers, and learn to identify a scam *very* quickly. A great example of how not to run a website!

Chemistry.com is a Total SCAM! I get 60 fake profiles contacting me every week.

Like everyone else people NOT named "textme*******890" or {_txt*******555" and every permutation thereof. Contacting me. Some profiles use the same photos. ALL of the profiles contacting me, except one, are from other areas, WAAAAy below my age preference, etc, ETC! I have contacted the BBB (better business bureau), the FTC (Federal Trade Cpommission), etc. BTW As soon as I sign online there I get a flurry or fake profiles contacting me. I believe they pay people to contact me under false pretenses.

Warning warning! In less than one week I caught 4 scammer. And those are the ones I replied to.
One used porn star pics they stole from the net the other hooters girl picture all fake all ask for money
Its possible to do a Google search in pictures you will be amazed at what you will find most of these fakes are from Ghana this is a huge red flag carefully they also use prepay phones manic Jack and internet phone so you can't trace. If the person does not have a phone from USA 100 % fake if they tell you they are American but working or selling art gold jewels probably fake. I complained to chemistry and nothing was done. Zoozk is about the same just wanted to share my experience thanks.

I discovered this weekend that www.chemistry.com has been charging my credit card since 12/1/13. There have been 21 unauthorized transactions against my credit card. I called them today. The confirmed that NONE of the information on file (name, e-mail address, city, state, zip code) associated with my account was accurate. I have no idea how my bank authorized the transactions. Nevertheless, they REFUSED to refund the 21 fraudulent transactions.

Their business model appears to be based on fraudulent recurrent credit card charges.

BLAME MATCH.COM! THE COMPANY THAT OWNS MATCH.COM ALSO OWNS CHEMISTRY. COM!

MATCH.COM SUCKS FOR PUSHING USERS TO CHEMISTRY.COM JUST TO SCAM THEM EXTRA!

Since I tried CHEMISTRY site (FREE ACCOUNT) I have been getting numerous 'fake' winks. Emails from your site saying I have a wink but when I check there are NO winks... these ppl have usernames like TEXTMENOW_#### with a texting number that ends up connecting to a Nigerian or Ghana date scam. They ask for money and items like cameras, cell phones, plane tickets, etc.

This site is a rip-off when you look up a person they list a town or city with a photo town when
