DateMyAgeReviews 406

Money maker. They try to draw you in by having to pay continuously for contact communication. I never paid anything. Kept getting bombarded with fake profiles and women I'm not interested in. This dating app is a total scam.

This dating site has so many traps and tricks to eat your credits, such as "play & Win" pup up on your screen is totally a scam.
To the customers, they buy the credits/membership to communicate with people not to play game to get vertiul gifts but the "play&win" game eats your credits misleadingly. My experiese with this datemyage.com is horrible...

I joined Datemyage believing it was a separate dating platform with its own community. I paid for membership for 15 months, communicating with a "verified" free member who claimed emotional involvement but not a single video call or even an attempted call ever took place, despite Datemyage's own published policy stating:

"Free users have video-calls with other members on their contact list at least twice per month."

This rule was advertised as a safeguard for authenticity, and I relied on this when deciding to pay for a subscription.

ISSUE 1 – Was the Policy Ever Enforced?

I requested a simple YES / NO answer:

Was there a video call involving my account with the free verified user during my 15-month membership?

Datemyage refused to answer directly, citing privacy even though I only asked about communication involving my own account. If the safeguard was genuinely enforced, this should be easy to confirm.
This made me question whether the policy is actually applied in practice or only used in marketing.

ISSUE 2 – Cross-Site Profile Duplication (Not Disclosed Clearly)

The same "verified" member (with the same ID, photos & videos, bio) appeared on four different affiliated platforms:

1) DateMyAge
2) AstroLove
3) Dating.com
4) YourTravelMates

The same verified free user profile appeared across all sites without disclosure at the time of purchase to the paying members

This suggests the presence of one shared backend database, while marketing suggests separate platforms with unique communities which may affect consumer expectations at the time of subscription.

ISSUE 3 – Consumer Clarity Under Australian Law

Under Australian Consumer Law, services should not create misleading impressions that influence a consumer's decision to purchase particularly regarding safeguards, profile authenticity, or the uniqueness of free verified users on the platform.

I simply asked:

1) Is profile replication automatic across platforms? Technical explanations and not general opinions
2) If safeguards exist, when are they enforced?
3) Can a free user claim emotional involvement for months without verification — indefinitely?

So far, I have received general replies but no direct answers to these questions.

FINAL THOUGHT

This review is not to cause harm but to promote transparency. I would appreciate clarity on these matters so that paying customers in future can make informed decisions based on real enforcement, not just policy wording.

I remain open to a fair response but I believe this information will help other users evaluate their options before paying.

QUESTION FOR OTHER MEMBERS

1) Did you communicate with someone for long periods without a video call or meet up in person ever happening?
2) Did the same profiles appear on different sites?
3)If you had similar experiences, please share below it may help others make informed decisions.

Posted in the interest of transparency and consumer clarity.

First, maybe you get the $20 discount for the first month, but each month after is $49 by the month plan - trust me - go by the month and quit early. For the price you get a limited amount of credits to use. Women have two types of accounts: paid or free. I have sent emails to ten different paid account women and have not received any responses and have not seen any online ever. To be a free account a woman must have a verified email and put up at least 10 pictures and fill out all the questions. Amazingly all the paid women rarely fill out any questions about themselves. IE, they are just taking a dip and realize quickly Datemyage is a waste of time/$$. 90% of the attractive women are Free and amazingly their photos are all posed glamour photos when they were 20 years younger. You will quickly run out of the few credits you get for joining. The cheapest refill is 50 credits for about $40. Each email or chat or video to a FREE woman will cost 1 or more credits each. It costs nothing to email or chat with a paid woman - but so far none respond or are online and probably gave up after the first few days. However if you like Chinese women, and money doesn't matter, they will be all over you because they all have free accounts. It is you that pay. Somehow they will pay at home for phenomenal glamour photos, but won't pay for a paid account. I wonder why they are all hot to meet an American guy? Maybe they are being subsidized to see who they can meet. About 10% of your free hits are from Columbia, Ukraine, Italy, and Mexico.

Don't even think about. Too many red flags. Good looking guys with best qualifications and jobs, looking for dates in Site! Something is wrong!

I am submitting this complaint regarding DateMyAge.com, an international dating website that presents itself as a legitimate matchmaking platform but engages in misleading, deceptive, and exploitative practices targeting paying customers.
Over a period of months, I spent approximately AUD $XXXXX interacting with a verified "free" member, relying in good faith on the company's published Communication Policy for free user (Section C. 5), which states:

"Free users have video calls with other members on their contact list at least twice per month."

Despite this explicit rule, the free verified user ("Haitao") refused every video call for 15 months while continuing to exchange messages, emails, and audio notes. The company failed to enforce its own policy or provide any remedy instead offering contradictory explanations after my formal complaint.

Key Issues

1) Policy Misrepresentation

The published policy uses mandatory wording (" have video calls") to assure paying customers of safety and verification. However, after my complaint, customer-service staff repeatedly redefined "have video calls" as "voluntary," "recommended," and "if comfortable."
These reinterpretations are not present anywhere on the public website. This constitutes post-facto distortion of contractual terms, misleading paying customers.

2) Non-Enforcement and Selective Shielding

Free and "featured" users are not required to comply with the very safeguards promoted to paying members. Many free users' profiles do not have the video-call function enabled, contradicting the written policy and allowing systemic non-compliance. Despite full chat records and timestamps, the company's "investigation" concluded "no breach of policy" — showing that enforcement is deliberately avoided.

3) Commercial Exploitation

DateMyAge's revenue model depends solely on paying members, not free users.
The platform benefits when free users prolong chat-based interactions, causing paying users to continuously purchase credits. This creates a direct financial incentive not to enforce safeguards such as video calls or verification.

4) Circular and Deflective Customer Support

I submitted two official cases (Case #******* and Case #*******) with full evidence — screenshots, messages, and timestamps. Instead of acting, the Customer Success Manager (Ahmed) closed the case by repeating new definitions of the policy. Subsequent responses from other representatives contradicted each other — one saying the case was "closed," another claiming it was being "investigated." This circular handling avoids accountability and prevents consumers from reaching any resolution or reimbursement.

5) Systemic Deception and Potential Fraud

Evidence indicates that many "free" or "featured" profiles are not genuine users, but possibly chat operators employed or incentivised by the platform to keep paying customers engaged.
Such activity constitutes misrepresentation and may breach international consumer and fraud laws.

6) Last but not the least:
DateMyAge's refund terms claim that credits can only be reimbursed or refunded if a verified free user is found to have lied during a video call. But here's the issue: free users' video-call functions are disabled, so there is no way for paying members to ever verify whether those "verified" users are genuine. This creates an impossible condition for refund — you can only be reimbursed if deception happens during a video call, yet the very feature required for that safeguard is unavailable or refused by the so-called verified users.

In practice, this means:

Free users avoid verification indefinitely, despite the published policy (Section C. 5) stating they "must have video calls with contacts at least twice per month."

Paying customers continue spending, believing interaction is genuine and compliant.

When deception is discovered, the company denies refund, claiming "mutual consent" and "privacy," even though the non-compliant user was never verified.

This is a designed loophole that protects the platform's revenue, not its members.
It's misleading, unethical, and breaches the basic principles of fair trading and consumer protection.

As soon as the account was created, I was flooded by a stream of obviously fake profiles. These profiles are very easy to spot, but blocking each one took a lot of time, because the app is very slow, & the blocking function didn't even work for some of them, even on the website. They could easily clean up their own app/ website themselves, by creating an account & getting flooded by the fake profiles. It should show you only people based on your location.
It kept switching my city to the entire country, which is supremely annoying & antiproductive. I was very surprised to see it let me put in just the city/ specify the city, on the website, eventually.

When i am on this app it does everything to take credits from me by disrupting the app by shutting it down and then me starting back up

I was sent nearly 40 "interested ladies," all of whom were located in a small neighborhood in my hometown. When I questioned this, the next 30 plus were from a different small neighborhood; they were all too good-looking to come from these neighborhoods. I canceled the membership, then a couple of weeks later, I logged in to confirm the cancellation, and the site automatically charged my card as if I had signed up again. There is no history of charges in the admin-that also would tell you the site is a scam.

The minute you join DateMyAge you expose yourself to rip off and utter scam. It's a totally fraudulent business run with military precision: lots of paid "translators" and women providing DateMyAge with their photos for commission. It is a well-polished scam, they have ripped off thousands of unsuspecting men. I don't know why they are still in business and how they manage to get away with scamming so many people.

This summary of what the site is about. Please flag for others This site is scam!
"actors" with attractive profiles send you scripted romantic, flattering letters. If you look closely, the "actors" are the people the are only after your cash which they get through chatting and paid messages exchange
They insist that you stay in the app to chat them giving an ilusion of sincerity in writing you. I figured this out, to meet people through the site you had to scroll past all of the "Free users" section of profiles which make you wonder what percentage is are the people who actually paying money to find a connection. Many features require purchasing credits, which can lead to higher costs compared to traditional subscription models. The costs associated with using credits is ubnormal every tab is a charged the authenticity of profiles you interact with is ot of the wolrd whee thing seem `stary' The profiles are fake, the messaging is all fake and they have bots who interact with u so you use you credits.
Who ever is running this site should be ashamed of himself for making money out of defrauding people
Every person I "met" on this app would lead me on and keep asking questions. All tease and fantasy. Nothing real.

Hey guys! Just now figured out the scam. If I am slow on the uptake I apologize but it never hurts to give information if you have it. If you see that a profile is a "Free User". It means they get to use the site for free and they have these rules that they have to follow. They have to answer 60% of the chat requests that they receive. They are instructor to NEVER give out any personal information, which will clue you in as to their sincerity in writing you. Once I figured this out, I realized IF you still wanted to meet people through the site you had to scroll past all of the "Free users" and get into the section of profiles where the people were actually payihg money to find a connection. That is so pathetic and actually very sad. What is the state of this world?

You are deluged with messages from free users who have no interest in a relationship. The free users are encouraged to keep you chatting to generate income for the website. Tons of really ugly pacific Islanders with try to chat.
