Coffee Meets BagelReviews 175

In 2016, when I first tried CMB, I was very impressed by the quality of the matches and the candidates. Really, impressed. As a result, I recommended CMB to several friends, and also wrote a positive review. Since one month, back on the site, I have been appalled at hiw things have changed. The most interesting profiles that they « suggest » turn out to be fake. Look out for photo-shoot perfect photos and then mediocre English, chock-full of mistakes that you might expect from India or Nigeria. The life stories they present often make no sense - he's from another country, but lives in US since years (generally as an eminent scientist, physician, or businessman). He lives across the countey, in another city, and is only listed as being from your city because he signed up for CMB during a business trip to your city. Oh, gag me. This site, despite its good intentions and its initial good performance, has become little more than a hoax!

Out of the four guys that I have connected to on this site, ALL of them are scammers. None of their profiles are real. All they want is to victimize women and get money. Here is what to look out for:

1. All are from foreign countries, went to school in foreign countries and have an accent
2. All have children that they claim they are taking care of by themselves either because they are a widower or came out of a nasty divorce with full custody
3. They claim to fall in love with you very fast
4. They don't have any friends and their family has passed on.
5. They cannot prove that they are real. They do not video chat. When asked to take a selfie with the date on a piece of paper, they cannot do it right away. It takes days for them to photoshop one and then that defeats the purpose.
6. Two of the scammers claimed they worked on an oil rig
7. They never provide contact info
8. They try and get you off the site ASAP to chat in a different forum

Be very aware of this site and men by the name of George Cohen, Vincent Smith, Mike Brown and Carlos Loriloto. They are good at what they do.

Be aware. This guy claimed that he lives in Houston, TX. A petroleum engineer, very good with his words and quite a gentleman when chatting. Horrible English but appears fluent in French. Asked for $5000! This guy named "David" maybe using stolen Facebook photos for his profile pictures.

She went by Stephanie, Native American from North Dakota, Coffee meets Bagel, exchange numbers, was text only said she had a damaged phone. Was an awesome phone number though, when I tried to call it. Eventually, called her out, got a phone call from restricted number saying it was her, but with a heavy African accent. Ask about the accent, she denied it, asked where she was from, she said Austin, ask where she was raised, she said Austin. Definite scam here, beware. I'm just posting this because I deleted the bagel instead of reporting it.

This guy claimed that he lives in UK. An architect, very good with his words and quite a gentleman when chatting. Good command in English. Too good to be true. He's just another scammer on CMB.

Came out with story a residential building he in charged few years back has collapse and the company immediately wants him to reinstate the building before they report him to UK. Asked for a loan to buy building materials. Google about it but no news came out on building collapsed in Turkey.
Rejected him and he immediately blocked me on everything. (CMB, Wechat & Whatsapp)

Horrible site. First time trying. I am multilingual so amazong how many men there claim to have been born in another country then have the wrong accent or suddenly run if you say a few words in their "native" language. Oh... and never seen so many "doctors and lawyers". The rest are unattractive or looking for 1 night stands. The owners should be investigated or at least be ashamed for the money they try to get from people. Never doing any site experiements again

I get the sense that this was never a dating site. Every single person that has contacted me on the site and I mean EVERY, has turned out to be a fake profile after online dating 101 investigation and some very short conversation. These red flags are the ones to look out for. Please understand one or two of these could be completely normal, but all the scammers on here use the same BS. You'd think professional scammers would come up with better schtick.

1. in the military
2. Widow
3 raising children on their own
4. Swear they're American, but write in VERY broken English which could not be jsu typos
5. Never just looking to date, meet, get to know someone... always looking for their soulmate.
6. Many times their profile answers do not match what they answer when chatting. I had one "widower" that had a 5 year old daughter and 8 year old son on his profile, but when I asked about his children, his son was 5 and his daughter was 8. He also said he was in Real Estate, but the company listed had absolutely nothing to do with Real Estate
7. They NEVER want to give proof of who they are... another online dating 101 rule. If you push for proof, conversation ends.

There's more, but I have wasted my time enough on this App and these scammers, so I'm deleting. Good luck with that karma scammers, and I wish only the best to all the single men and women actually, honestly seeking a connection.:-)

Don't go to this site, I was there trying something new, nothing but Nigerian scam artist. One ask me to give him $50 buck gift card. "AS IF, I will give a stranger money" no way... they pray on single mothers. Be aware ladies, read into their words. I am sorry for the person who picture their using, I am sure he is not even aware his information is being used to scam women. Good thing I know scam when I see one, looks to good to be true run...

I have found success on other dating apps but was hoping to find more professional and educated men like myself on CMB. Yes it showed me men like this - all turned out to be scammers. How many people can actually be in UAE or on an oil rig in Kuwait at the moment. Yes they are rich but suddenly have a problem and need to ask me for thousands of dollars. Oh and they love me. We have barely talked and I don't know you. Take a hike scammer. I haven't met anyone I can trust and feel there is no control over who I can "like". Maybe there are real guys on it but I haven't found them. Most disappointed in this app.

Not sure if this guy is scam or not but, may be. He has sent several pictures and claims to be former CIA who lost his partner 6 months ago. After a couple weeks of chatting he is sent off on a "mission" to another country and will be gone for 3 weeks. He doesn't have a "NOK" (next of kin) so needs someone for the FRC (financial resource center) to be able to contact. I'm not sure of the type of contact at this point. I already told him if this is some sort of set up to ask for my money or account info he is messing with the wrong person because there is NO way I would do that especially when we haven't met yet face-to-face. He said it isn't and even sent a pic of himself on an airplane preparing for take off. Does this story seem familiar to anyone or have I really met a hero out fighting/serving his country?! Lol Even if legit... I wouldn't give out that info until when/if the time comes that it's an actual in the flesh relationship! Lol
