Scam site
January 12, 2024

After a while using Dating.com I started searching the images on Instagram and found that most of them were being used by people with different names using false ID. No intention of meeting whatsoever, if you try to talk outside the site they say they prefer it on there and eventually stop talking. They ask for virtual gifts etc which just gives more to the scammers. I wasn't taken in by any of it and gave nothing to anyone but they still wasted a lot of my time on there. Cost a ridiculous amount just to text and they keep cutting you off anyway and asking for more money. A complete scam.

The men pose as low level celebrities under different names. Make sure you reverse look up the photos before getting invested. Everyone I spoke to was not a real person. Look at the photos that I've attached. I found the real person on tiktok and the other pictures shows the account pretending to be him.

Hello Angel, Thank you for sharing these details with us. I am sorry that you had to go through such worrisome situation. The platform does not condone any wrongdoings such as displaying fake profiles as we ensure that the community is safe for our valued members, however, I would like to clarify that we don't discriminate members based on their status in life. Hence to set your expectations, it is not rare to encounter members who are in such status outside of the platform just like the pictures you have submitted. To reiterate it, Members are not prohibited to use social media accounts and use a nickname or AKA in the platform. Both are not against the Anti-scam Policy. However, We are looking at addressing your concern strongly. Concerning the members you are referring to, could you please contact us at [email protected] with the details? We would like to check the profiles you are referring to, as we are strongly against any fake activity in our app.

I met two men on this set and both turned out to be scammers. One scammed me for about $1200 and the other one got $*******.00. I was unable to stop them on this app. Apparently they don't care if you get scammed. Be very careful.

Hello! Our application doesn't implement the free-to-use model. Communication through the services on it requires credits that are bought independently from the membership. Each usage costs a certain number of credits. But it has a lot of amazing features to offer. We are eager to give more info at [email protected].

Scam!
November 5, 2023

The positive reviews written on this site is incredibly suspicious. Fake. Immediately after signing up, I'm getting literally hundreds of unbelievable men messaging me, plenty of doctors, engineers, owners of companies, CEOs and other wealthy men and I started to get suspicious. Sent one email reply to a popular member and that was it. One Email. Then I'm locked behind a paywall and not able to read his reply. It is so incredibly expensive. I was about to put my credit card information and I dug deep into this to see all these reviews. So very glad I did! This site needs to be investigated!

Listen Up Everyone!
October 22, 2023

Listen all! This site is a scam. I talked to a man for over two years but spent as little money as I could. At the same time I researched this company and it is owned by Social discovery network (Virtual Dating) and they have about 800 people working for them. The founder is a 42yr old Russian man and the business is located in Malta. I found several of the men from Dating.com, Eurodate, Datemyage on Storyblocks, Canstock photos and Dreamstime which photographers display their works for a price. Found this through "Yandex" a Russian google site. They provide thousands of photos of models posing as dentists, doctors, pilots, you name it and they have it. You can even download videos of the person, so it makes their profiles look even more real. I found many photos of men from this dating site. I'm reporting this to people who investigate scammers. My heart was broken and I lost some money but now I want justice for myself and everyone who has been hurt and robbed by these inhumane people.

"Kenny Chesney" and "Keith Urban" both initiated chats with me...supposedly...their chats contained the exact same wording. I can't prove this, but I suspect that certain " as if" members...referred to as " popular members" must receive some sort of compensation, for continuing to chat with unknowing, legitimate users to encourage them to spend BIG bucks. The other thing that I noticed was that these " popular members" seemed to be online all hours, day and night! Another very suspect weirdness:... these same members all seem to have "next level" fashion shoot-like photos of themselves...LOTS of photos! I think that this sight does have " real people" profiles in the mix. But if these folks don't provide an outside method to converse when you request such...as you will quickly find how crazy stupid expensive this site becomes in the "blink of any eye". My advice: avoid this website altogether!

Hi! I am sorry that the pricing policy of our website has left you disappointed. Indeed, using certain services costs a fixed number of credits that you buy separately. But every credit purchased by you is used to support all of the departments that ensure you have a safe and enjoyable time on our site. That's why our services aren't cheap.

I found myself on their sites and I did not sign up for it. They stole my profile from another site and added it to 6 of their sites. I started getting all kinds of messages. They force messages that are fake and the free members especially the popular ones use email, presents, pictures and videos to get you to use credits and keep spending money. I was promised a life with this person and totally fell for him and I was totally heart broken and almost destroyed by what he did to me. His name was MARLON and he told plenty of lies and plenty of broken promises. These dating sites should be taken down and the operators sent to prison for fraud and include abuse of the elderly. I want a way to tell the world about these dating sites and someone should pay for this. He claimed to be police officer and then later an actor and then he settled on being a private investigator but of course he did not work for himself. BEWARE of this person he is good at lies and deception.

I was so stupid and decided to register on this webside. I was there for only 2 days and I start realizing that this is total scam. This webside should be investigated for fraud. I start realized that majority of this people making profile just to get paid. They not interested in dating. They are getting paid by this webside. They give you a credits whist expire in 1 day and after they will charge your card without any consent. How can 150 credits can expires in one day this is total scam. And that's how they making money by ripping off peoples credit cards, I cancel my membership right next day and they still keep charging my card. When I call then customer service representative (very unprofessional-sounds like they working in a hookers industry) I ask to cancel this services coz u start realized all people on the other side a paid people so they cancel services and never give me a confirmation even ask for confirmation of cancelations. So I went to my account and I saw that still was charging me. I cancel my card and I will report this webside to police please go not registered on this webside

Dating. Com is a scam. You'll never find love nor meet someone on that site coz most of the members are fake, they will just lure you to spend money to communicate with those fake profiles but no intention of meeting you personally, they will just play with your emotions and end up heartbroken. Don't ever dare to try coz it's just a waste of time and money! Not worth it!

On Dating.com you get to spend lots of money to read the fake proposals for marriage, sex, or long term dating. Most of these young Playboy Bunny Latin models who claim to be business owners, engineers, lawyers, psychologists, or doctors are strangely only 22 to 25 years old while the older women who appear stunning like all the rest will come on to you so when you ask for them to communicate off the site you'll get the same answer every damn time, "Sorry, I don't feel comfortable chatting off the site." Which is bull$#*! because everyone in the world uses Google chat so what conclusion do you draw? They are fake profiles answered by AI or staffers trying to generate revenue for the site! When you contact customer service you get word salad and nothing but excuses even when you point out to them how obvious this is. So, if you demand a refund they'll just give you another 20 credits so you can waste them on lies too! Do not fall for their BS!

Scam artists.
September 30, 2023

The pictures of the scam artist are authentic. The man in the blue blazer and the little girl is George Scala Robert who allegedly is a Surgeon for NATO processed his wife died, claimed to be a billionaire and asked for money indirectly saying he would come directly to London at the end of November 2023 stopped google chatting me.

Micheal Advokat CEO of his construction firm currently was at a firm somewhere in Italy and then another firm in Rome. This is the con artist in front of the camera in and camouflage T-shirt claiming to have come to London Heathrow from Italy on Easyjet after checking that a friend who works at customs said 'Easyjet flights never come to or from Heathrow. I asked to see his boarding pass he said he had none upon him changing his employment in Italy twice he told me that he could not request leave and I had to do it and then told me there was a fee to pay in the £000.00s he told me to send Bitcoin transfer as this is the only currency they will accept he even told me to help pay for an apple gift card for his daughter and he will refund all when he come to London. He claimed he came to London twice the first time on the wrong visa and was detained then on a second visit ended up in Norwich then Manchester airport then back to Italy.
The background noise was always the same when in Italy and when I asked him to video call me as he lived in a apartment by himself he could never call.
Ladies do not trust these men on this sight and it is expensive if you choose to do so, be very vigilant and prepared to meet some calculating, manipulative, cunning, Narcissistic, Gaslighting, love bombing, Hoovering men who will promise marriage and to take care of you.
It all lies and they all say the same thing or similar.

What they do is get profiles or gorgeous women from around the world… when you communicate, they give vague answers to specific questions about where the are from. I finally caught on. When you want to continue a chat, a request for a "higher level" of communication pops up…that's $49 or so.
I uploaded several photos of myself for my profile and none could/would see them.
I asked one about Brazil where she said she was from but could not tell me what city she was from or anything about Brazil….I speak portugués so it wasn't a language barrier. Avoid this site… there may be a few real profiles but few and far between.
