This site been created just scamm people on big money. They want charge you for eveything but previously they say you can chat with members for free except Popular members. As you look they are all of Them Primer members. More over I think they have team who start chatting with you sending messages and letters in this way they charge your credit. I lost a lot of money on their website because they say yiu buy membership for 328 euro and you can chat For free. Obviously they are spammers because all people here are millionaires and doctors but when you chat with them they don't know how to speak properly English or they send you template. One of their members ask me to buy credit card for him and o reported is spam. They remove him first and then I see him online again. They hire people from India to write these messages and chat with us just taking money. You have to never ever go on this website.
If you are interested in being bombarded with people that are breathing (so qualify as verified) but no interest in dating, Dating.com is for you. Expect non-stop chat request and video request from people who live no where near you and have no interest in actually meeting you.

Please assist me in how I can go about exchanging contacts with my favourite contacts. One contact in particular told me that the site does not allow him to exchange his contact details and I found this quite odd.

There are only bots on this site that send many of the same messages several times a day You lie to people to make money This is a real site, maybe add a few free emails a day, why would I pay money to communicate with someone who is not real? It is not possible to connect to Instagram either I will definitely report this site to Google Play and Apple Play because this is how you are fooling everyone.

My suggestions and recommendation has always been with the dating.com and thanks to its quality services. I will never leave it.
I was shocked at the cost of chatting with someone on this site. Not worth it just as poor as the other sites. Don't waste your money
Hello Cynthia! Thank you for your honest feedback! To ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable time on the site is a very resource-consuming process.

We'd be happy if you could give us a chance to create a better experience for you, and suggest cheaper ways to enjoy the app! Always available for you at [email protected]!
This site keeps taking my money with out giving me any credits. I paid £15.99 twice on the 21st of july and never recieved credits but according to them ive used them i never chatted to any ladys after i paid. Trying to explain to them is like talking to a brickwall
Hi there Kenny! Thank you for your review! We're truly sorry to hear about the inconvenience!

5 stars to this online dating platform because of its legit services and real profiles. I met with my girlfriend several times.
I spent over a year on this site and met many guys. I didn't took this site very seriously and I'm very glad I didn't. 99% of the guys I was texting with a bit were fakes and liars. Like everyone should I did a google picture search and found most of it (for the rest there other search engines). If you compare what it's written on their dating.com profile and what they write on IG it never matches. There are to many to count.
Thats why I will post only the picture of the worst case I had the pleasure to met with. Yep he is searching for his true Love but founds her on IG already. Also he made a lot of Copy Past mistakes like sending me the number of other members or the "Chat Up" text he sent to others during our active chatting. But he was not the only one doing that. If a guy from Latin America hits on you, ignore it. The videos? Well on one site he offered custom made videos so why not for dating.com as well? And he lets you wait or them a day or so... strange no? Many guys make have false ages. If you're looking for a guy in their forties you wont be interested in guys in their early thirties.
Hello Sina! Thank you for your review! We're terribly sorry to hear about your situation! Please rest assured that we do not tolerate any misidentification or misrepresentation on our platform.

Please email us anytime at [email protected] and we'd be happy to provide tips on how you can enjoy the app with minimized costs!
FAKE PROFILES? Fake Pictures? ( Popular Members all Fake?) ( anyone real?) I'm not going to answer your text because I know this is a scam! And your non genuine pictures? Very disappointing all this is a scam, all I wanted to do was find a genuine women! Let me reiterate, yeah you may be real but none of you are genuine, sending worthless emails after emails and pictures/ videos to make people use up there expensive credits/Money, only logic, You all get paid/kickback from dating.com!?! I spent hundreds of dollars on this fake site reading ur worthless emails that have nothing to do with what we're talking about, needs to be a lawsuit against dating.com and DMM SOLUTIONS INC.

This lets members communicate longer and is more beneficial in the long run! Please contact us anytime at [email protected] and we'd be happy to advise you further on this matter!
dating.com is an ideal platform for adults and singles and especially for those who want their relation kept secret.
Left a review earlier, but I just need to add this - reading through the "positive" reviews, it is like deja vu. Reads like the messages I got from "men" on the site. I know linguistics... I am willing to bet that many of those reviews are written by the representative and chat operators themselves. Look out for the generic/non-specific ones that simply just say how it is the best site and you can find a girlfriend or wife.
Best compared to what? Based on what facts?
There are legit sites where you simply pay a monthly subscription, each profile is verified, profiles that are not verified or abuse the site are removed immediately - AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY TO TALK TO THEM OR EVEN READ A MESSAGE.
The site I am referring to is as a matter of fact ranked as the best and most trustworthy dating site at the moment.
If you are going to make claims about dating.com being the best - be able to back it up. It isn't even in the top 10 (when referencing legitimate reviews and recommendations). Those reviews have the same value as me saying my dog is the best dog in the world because I think so and dogs are awesome.
If someone really took the trouble to come onto this site to leave a review - it will be more specific.
They are just scrambling to get the starts up.
Hello Lori! Thank you for your feedback! We're truly sorry if our app didn't meet your expectations. From what we see, most of the negative reviews about our app are common when it comes to our costs and services, and are easily resolved once the reviewers reach out to us for assistance. We then receive a lot of positive feedback as well! :) Kindly also bear in mind, that other dating apps have a completely different business model than ours. For your purchases on our app, we don't just provide you with credits and services on the platform, but also anti-scam protection, profile verification, 24/7 customer support channels, constant updates, no ads and much more! Our verifications department is constantly monitoring and verifying profiles on the app for your safety! Please feel free to email us anytime at [email protected] and we'd be happy to suggest tips on how you can enjoy the app with reduced costs!
If I could give 0 stars, I would... Outrageous experience, how the app called Dating.com function. They have both fake and real users. But don't get misleaded - all those Popular ones, good looking and with verified profiles are not real. They will write you tons of emails, send pictures - yet remember. To open each, you got to pay real $. Even though those guys are fake.
Such a scam.
On trustpilot hundreds of fake positive reviews - obviously written by some kids from all over the world(once you check their profile, you see they write about everything. How good it is xD)
And when you check negative ones, ppl writing about being abused and scammed for hundreds and hundreds of $ and € real money... So sad they earn on people's will to find love. But no worries- karma always find you
Dear Maria,
I'm so glad that you received a lot of attention from the members of the platform.

I have checked all the screenshots that you attached, and there's no trace of any fake profiles for us to investigate. Please let us know if you face anything on our platform that is against our terms and conditions, and we would be delighted to help and resolve all the issues for you.
Lionel Brecx is a financial advisor at ING and owns an application called Fhetch. Very prejudiced man who left a black woman to die with a child. Look at these sick messages.
Dear Maria,
Thank you for taking the time to share this photo of our personal conversation from WhatsApp. We cannot see that these screenshots are even related to our website at all. If all of the attached screenshots have something to do with our website, please send an email to [email protected] with any additional information.We would really appreciate it if you managed to clarify it so we could take all the required actions.
I really doubt if dating.com has legit human beings. The site is ridiculously expensive. I bought 20 credits sent out few chats and all of a sudden i was left with no credits I don't know what happened to my credits. I was informed that chatting is less expensive but my credits disappeared even when i was not sending messages. One person i was talking to insisted that i open an email he sent and i refused stating that it's too expensive but he was persistent saying its important. Now i can see that the site has fake people and its a rip off

I hope we managed to cover all your concerns and provided you with the relevant information, which you can use when you decide to join us again.
I joined this site two years ago and developed ongoing chats with several men. All the men had ambitious creative excuses for no video calls or meetups. A month ago I deleted that profile and a few days ago created a new profile with the same name and pictures. The most alarming awareness is the guys I had ongoing chat relationships with; wrote me like they never met me before! The guys that knew my background, and had ongoing communication with for almost 2 years had no idea who I was! Their emails were introduction emails and wanting to get to know me! Absolutely every one of them! Now if that isn't scary and alarming I don't know what is?!?!?!
So many of the men that I researched and had substantial background checks for that were totally fake profiles are still active! All the profiles that I reported with documentation are still active! Dating.com never reimbursed me for the countless money spent communicating with these fake men!
I don't have my member ID for my original profile because I deactivated it! There's something really seriously wrong with this site!
Dear AeJai,
Thank you for sharing with us this situation that occurred to you. I'm personally sorry that the person that you communicated with didn't recognize you when you reached him with another account. It could definitely happen to all of us when you use different photos. I'm quite certain that if you had a chance to share some information that you discussed earlier, that person would definitely remember you.
We also reported that evidence that you provided to us to the responsible department, and you should have already received a response by now in regards to the submitted photos of that particular member. We hope our response clarified everything for you, and we are so glad that you took an extra step to improve our platform.
Don't ever put your credits on this site of dating.Com! They would laugh at us as ugly chicks go make them rich and said we were so easy chicks to be cheated!
The 2nd time I signed in this website
I already received many and many (can't count) messages and letters
All were faked account
I was surprised how can this web still survive? By a big cheating on users?
Dear Julie,

We do have a moderator team, people who make sure that verified profiles are real by checking submitted real-time photos and ensuring that you will never come across fake accounts on our platform. Please note that we've been working hard for over 20 years to maintain the legitimacy and reputation of our sites. We do not want to see any profiles providing fake information on our website, and we would be happy to take measures against them. More information about our policies is available at: https://www.dating.com/people/#dating-securely
I hope we managed to change your mind about our platform and we will be so happy to have you back with us.
Ich habe hier tatsächlich jemanden gefunden. Da er aber in China lebt und ich in Europa ist das schon nicht einfach. Dazu kommt das viele Kommunikationswege leider derzeit unterbunden werden. Also bleibt uns nur Dating.com. Eine Telefonnummeraustauschen oder ähnliches ist nicht möglich. Was es uns natürlich etwas einfacher machen würde. Da ich ein normal Verdiener bin, in einem sozialen Beruf verdiene ich weniger. Die Credits sind sehr, sehr teuer, was mich ehrlich verzweifeln lässt. Wir wollen viel miteinander kommunizieren, aber ich muss immer an mein Konto denken. Das ist nun wirklich nicht fair. Ich verstehe natürlich, dass man auch Kosten decken muss. Aber man sollte sich auch mal Gedanken machen, dass Menschen, die sich wirklich Treffen, und zwar emotional für ihre Gefühle sehr viel Geld zahlen müssen, nur um reden zu können. Das ist was ich sehr schade finde. Würde mich gerne mit meinem Mann unterhalten können ohne zu verzweifeln.
Liebe Steffi Xing,
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback und wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie eine besondere Person gefunden haben. Wir verstehen auch vollkommen, wie schwierig es sein kann, mit den Mitgliedern aus dem Bereich zu kommunizieren, in dem es viele Einschränkungen gibt und Sie keine anderen Kanäle haben, um in Kontakt zu bleiben. Sie haben auch erwähnt, dass der Austausch personenbezogener Daten unmöglich ist. Lassen Sie mich Ihnen versichern, dass wir eine Option haben, wie Sie dies auf unserer Plattform tun können:
1) Wenn das Mitglied auf der Mitgliederseite eine Schaltfläche mit dem Namen „Geschenke auswählen“ hat, können Sie ein Geschenk senden und Kontaktdetails in der Nachricht anhängen, die damit einhergeht.
2) Wenn das Mitglied die erste Option nicht hat, können Sie den Kontakt per Video-Chat austauschen. Video-Chat hat Mikrofonunterstützung. Sie können auch einfach Ihre E-Mail-Adresse und Telefonnummer auf einem Zettel vor der Kamera zeigen.
Wie ich sehe, hast du eine Weile nicht mit deiner besonderen Person gesprochen. Ich werde Ihnen 30 Credits zur Verfügung stellen, damit Sie ihn erneut erreichen können.
Answer: Hi Curtis! Yes! Absolutly all our members are real! We have a special verification team to check all our members are real. We don't have any fake profiles on our platform. If you met any suspicious profile, please contact our CSD team. Best regards, Alex
Answer: Yes, I am a woman, I had been on the dating. Communities website for almost 3 months, I know very well as after they sent the email, I have to pay 10 credit to read each email. Even pictures, photo, video clip. If they are real why after chatting for months we already talking about marriage and still they refused (not one but 4 men from that website) to give real contact, email and wechat ID. In China wechat is very common even 80 years old have wechat. The men on thus site all claimed too old for wechat. That is really wired. Please be careful, those who said good review here, may be also their people. I am one of the victim who lose 5000 USD. I knew better.
Answer: Hi Robert! Absolutly not! All messages are created only by users. To make chat invite you can use Mingle service. Best regards, Alex
Answer: There are real people behind the photos. But they do not look for a real partner. You just pay and chat people under their profiles. Maybe just operators.
Answer: Yeah, I totally agree with you Regina. I tried asking them to keep in touch on Instagram or Facebook, and I did not receive any responses. Moreover, they kept sending me the same messages and emails. I've been wondering whether they are real or not.
Answer: No, you will not! If you use the tokens and do not realize that it's by the minute it goes fast... also, emailing costs more and they must get paid to chat with you! All the men are fake!
Answer: You can not exchange contact details in the dating.com because the person whom your chatting with is a staff of the site pretending to be the person in the picture.
Answer: Dating.com is a bad site at, they specialize in scamming people. They cover scammers. When I give all the evidence to prove Fake membership of the website, but they always give the reasons of being unintentional, irresponsible, wasting time, going around. I spent a lot of money for a member, but they returned me the wrong amount and even said it was their good deed. Here, I am the one who gives money, but I receive all Fake people, don't think you are charitable for others. There are many Fake members in Dating.com. I have proof, proving they're fake. I ask Dating.com to pay me back for the exact amount I spent.
Answer: Hi! We accept debit cards and PayPal. If you have any issues purchasing the service please contact customer support at [email protected]
Answer: More than you could afford! The site is a scam
