Coffee Meets BagelReviews 175

My experience so far has been good. A lot of genuine guys, could go out and date. However, caught one scammer with no internet trail. Goes by the name of Kim Min Ho, says he's Korean. He'll ask you to quickly change to WhatsApp or WeChat and uses the number *******320. He works as an automation engineer for an offshore company in Singapore. Unlike other scammers, his modus operandi is unusual. He will message you in the morning, lunch hours and after office hours. He's not eager and will not ask for your personal information. He only asked for USD 1500 three months after matching on CMB. He will also not shy away from telephone calls but will not do video calls because of his 'work'.

Just putting this here so that other women will be aware and that this poor chap who's identity has been used can be made aware.

This dating app has several problems. First, when you subscribe to their premium package, you might think that allows you to send "likes" to profiles you like and try to start a conversation, as advertised. WRONG. They give you only 8 likes, meaning, you can send a "like" to 8 profiles, and that's it. Once you run out of likes, you must buy their in-app currency, "beans," so you can send more likes by spending beans. It costs between $2.78 to $6.67 to send ONE LIKE to ONE PROFILE. That is ridiculous! You might send 10 or 20 likes or more, and not get any response. Who would knowingly sign up and pay for a monthly subscription, only to find out you have to pay $3 or more just to wave at someone? And, of course, the subscription is non-refundable.

The other problem is that while they match you up with 21 "suggested" profiles each day (and you can "like" any of those for free), there is no adequate way of setting preferences and filters. So you get suggestions of totally unattractive profiles that can be way older or otherwise not compatible. Very disappointing.

I tried out this app recommended by friends. But i haven't subscribe yet. Until I saw many bad reviews here. Just like to share my experience. I received message from this guy call Calvin, claim that he is half Chinese half Australian from Melbourne working in Malaysia Terengganu for the project. Divorced with his own company with one daughter. Then asked me to chat at WhatsApp. From there everyday send me message few times and say sweet words to me and asked me to be his girlfriend. But i never say yes. After that I notice his mobile number quite strange with is +6011 with 8 digits number, I found fishing and something not right. And he send me the picture with his daughter and himself look like not real... I don't sure where he got all these pictures, until I asked him send video call to me, but never. From there it proved that I am right, 100% scammers, he scold me some more blocked me. Ladies just be aware this!
But I Guess some of people were lucky to meet some real or true friends from this app. Just to aware, don't fall in love too fast or don't give personal accounts or money. This is scammers wanted by end of the day

All scammers trying to rip you off. This dating site is an absolute scam from the beginning to the end. When you use the free version the site matches you with the "best" profile to attract your attention to make you sign up. Once you sign up the matches are absolutely different from what you've set up for and 90% of the guys who sent me messages were scammers trying to get money in iTunes Gift Cards or Cash App. Be aware! They are professionals in emotionally manipulate people. They copy and paste romantic poems and info about any topics you are discussing with them. I mean everything from what they thing about loyalty in a relationship to who should do the chores in the house. They used a NonFixed-VoIP phone number, google hangouts, and stolen pictures and short videos from the internet, usually a Skype video call that last about 15-20 seconds. Do not fall for it! It's not them, they play a recording. Before anything, check the validity of their email, do a reverse photo check, and check their phone number. If it's a VoIP number forget it, it's a scam! Last scammers named Joe Bennett, successful engineer from Jacksonville, parents died, ex-cheated on him with her ex-boyfriend and was with him just to rip off his money, gets deployed to Samara, Russia to train employees from a sister company. Tells you that can't call or video call due to the company security reasons. Different from the others, writes proper English, makes nice questions such "babe, do you hold grudges or forgive quickly?" Or "If you could trade lives with anyone who would you choose?. He's also into donate money to charity, orphans... tells you he's thinking long-term with you, that is completely in love and suddenly (6 weeks mark) finds a way to bypass the security code to make a video call of 20 secs. No audio. Fake clipped video stolen from the internet. Then the next morning he tells you he's in big trouble that the video call had exposed the company's location, that a colleague has lost his job once bc of that, and that he needed money to by a signal tracking device to clear him up. He doesn't have money because he donated to the charity and he doesn't have access to his account. Asked $550 to be sent through Cash App. When I confronted him he is a scam, he denied and was all emotional about putting his job on the line etc... That's the end. Please be mindful that theses pictures are not who he is but pictures stolen from the internet. If you know this person (guy) please let him know scammers are using his photos to scam women around.

Bagels are fake. Almost never reply. Different countries same sex, repeated. Not one date in three months. This app is designed to string vulnerable males along to make as much as they can out of them. Shame

I really dislike this dating app. You are "served" a limited number of bagels based on an algorithm you have no control over. Those people who like you and want to engage with you never respond. And the company entices you to pay more for additional benefits. Why would you pay for more of nothing? I've used Match and paid for it. Now on OK Cupid (which is free) and I have had a number of nice guys contacting me and willing to meet. I won't be resubscribing to this one. Too bad. I had strong hopes that this app would be different.

I think this app is better for those who are looking for relationship until I met a scammer the other day. This is a better platform for scammers as tinder required face to face "Netflix and chill", on CMB people tried to chat and develop feelings before meeting up which allows the scammers have the chance to lure you Into something else and steal your money.

The scammer was using this guy's pic ( see attached) please let him know if you know him. And you can let me know who he is as well. Cuz I think he is really cute:)

Anyway be aware of the person who you are chatting to, below could be one of the red flags
- not local number, an overseas number
- profile pic is not himself / herself: they are faking multiple different identities therefore they can't use their face in the watsapp pic
- Ask for money / investment
- they just look too good to be true

I have met this guy named "Eric Chang" in CMB app. (Phone number: *******816) He claims to be 42 years old, korea mix hong kong people and lived in hong kong until 11 years old, and moved to new york after that. He has his own company doing oil rig consultant firm. He asked my whatsapp on the same day we started to chat. He would text me every morning and night and saying sweet things. He even showed me pictures of him and video about his work (even though he did not appear in those video).
One day he said he have to go to turkey for a month for oil rig contract offshore. After about 10 days offshore, he said his machine doesn't work and need to buy a new one from china. Then he said cannot get into his bank account and maybe the wifi is not strong enough. He asked me to help him get into his account, and said that his only friend always go to casino and is not trustworthy. He also asked me to loan to him and he will pay me back. Since i found this website on the day he borrow money from me, so i refused and tell him he is a liar. I hope others would not be cheated by this guy.

You pay a hefty sum for premium membership but are required to pay more on top of this if you expect this app to be even half way functional. Then, you are given matches each day without even having to fill out a questionnaire. Bizarre. Don't ask me how I got sucked into to paying for the site but In did. Haven't had a date yet. Worst dating site I have ever used. Even when you do get a match the chat function doesn't work. No local help desk from what I can gather. Totally stupid and waste of time app. Don't get sucked in like I did.

Since using CMB every guy that I've talked to is a scammer. Stories are all the same, plus they don't usually put up a photo on their WhatsApp. Why? Cos they probably using a few different faces at a time. I've blocked & reported all these profiles. Dating websites should take some responsibility & clean them out as much as possible. I don't see CMB doing much. SO avoid these So called overseas workers, on contracts, oil rigs, engineers, military etc... never depart with your money even if they send all these stolen photos of kids, houses, the lot.
Same old tricks!

Alexander Chua on CMB claimed to be a free-lance oil rig engineer who worked on an offshore oil rig. He claimed to be a Singaporean who has worked at Halliburton for 12 years before becoming a free lance engineer. He said he is an single child and his parents are no longer around. He said he has bought an apartment at Artra and he will be returning to Singapore at the end of 2019. Not long after chatting on WhatsApp, he mentioned his machine broke down and require financial help because he couldn't access his bank accounts on the offshore rig. He uses a UK number +*******xxx306.

Just beware of this person on CMB and not fall into his traps.

Update 26-Dec-2019: Even though his profile has been reported on CMB, this person is still active on CMB. So ladies, please watch out and report this person if you ever met him!
