Please do not waste your money!
I dont think this site deserves even one star!
You can't communicate with other profiles unless you pay. The minimum subscription is 3 months and costs over $100. They do not abide by your parameters for the profiles that you set. Many of those that contacted me where fake profiles that I believe the site set up to make themselves look better.
It is not even worth the aggravation of setting up an account!
Worst dating site I have ever been on. Most of the men I have chatted to are members on a sister site and have paid half of what I paid for the so called Elite site. Stay clear you are better off on a free site. There is absolutely no one near to where I live and they completely ignore my age preferences. They are showing me lorry drivers and men covered in tattoos when I have specifically asked for a certain level of education and no tattoos. Each to our own.
I received only one message in 4 weeks. It was an attempt to scam me. I contacted several males with a Doctor's degree asking them what university awarded them their degree. The spelling in their profile was the equivalent to a 4th grader. No one I contacted has ever answered me back. After I made a complaint with the management, I started receiving fake profiles, computer made, to match my requirements. I strongly believe the website managers are creating fake profiles to attract paying customers. I was very interested in the profile of a male in the same line of work I am (state employee). After I wrote the gentleman 3 times and he did not seem to have noticed my messages, I took the initiative to find him through a family member living and working in the same place... there was no one by that name or fitting the description. I also tried reverse image search but the (non) elitesingles protects their "investment" trying to cover their lies. This service is a total scam, a waste of money and time for anyone.
Absolutely a waste of money and time. They allow and have many fake people and scammers. I truly believe that the company itself is part of the scam. Their customer service is an absolute joke, no no no wait, there is no customer service. Do not spend your money on this site!
More than half of their profiles are fake and not real people. They use their fake profile to send you messages to think they are real. The real ones are 50-100 miles away. BIGGEST SCAM DATING SITE I've ever been on, what a waste of money.
There's nothing elite about this site. Never mind answering all the questions about your preferences because The "matches" I was matched with did not fit my criteria at all! Not to mention that they were all unattractive. Customer service is horrible too! They will deny everything and you will never get your refund after paying a high price for a membership. Wish I had read the reviews prior to signing up... please, don't fall for this crap like I did.
I opened a free account with elite singles, that promise free messaging, to check the site before subscribing.
All my introduced texts (a hundred words allowed only) were rejected. On the same page appeared a button for "assessment" to write a good text for only 99$.
Plus, with a free account, all the pictures are blurred, making it impossible to use the site.
This is an expensive site for no reasons... first off every man in this site claimed to have a Master or doctorate degree and they're rude. The personality of some will turn women off. Doesn't seem like the men on this side are there for a relationship! It's soo more about their intelligence and what they owned. That's not what I wanna hear at first site. It's a waste of money
Very poor quality app. Very difficult to navigate and not user friendly, Very few local matches. There are no "elite singles." In this site. Big chance to meet scammers. The report button is not functioning, and frequently gives an "error" message. Overall not good and not recommended.
First any joe smoe is on the site. If you are trying to level up, this is not the site. And they are expensive as hell for no reason. You are not getting anymore for your money than any other site that is less expensive.
This is a dating site that underperforms. It purports to provide you with matches every day and yet 90% of the matches I'm sent have no photos, minimal profile info and never respond to photo requests or messages. There are a few actual people on the site, but in general it is poorly designed, has few members and generally isn't worth the time or money, as it is considerably more expensive than comparable sites with better functionality and massively larger membership.
I can easily show how to identify a fake dating site - without spending a PENNY
( 1) Create a very basic Profile - as little as you can get away with ( 2) no photo
( 3) just a little few words in ' about you ' like looking for fun / love etc
- create free account ( don't pay for membership!) - now do NOTHING
If you start to get inundated with ' hot ' messages or views - within a day ( or usually an hour)
Then alarm bells should ring -
I joined this site - didn't create a great deal in my free account - and was given several messages within
A few hours - I did some detective work - and in East Scotland on the Profile - there was a Lady Minister -
Who was supposedly ' looking for love ' - found her online - and guess what - married in early 2020 ( this is April 2021) - if she had created the account - ( a) she would have deleted it by now ( b) she would NOT have used her Church of Scotland profile next to a Church Door in a press release
I took the hint from the very few reviews and swiftly deleted my account =
Want love - Try Tinder, PoF or Match.com
Site sucks. Do not join. No custom service Whatever your dating presences are won't matter. If you're 50 you'll get 65yr old recommendations. If you're looking for someone within 100 miles good luck. Won't happen.
Elite singles are not scammers that is why I am correcting my review here, yet they are not clear that they only serve US clients, it is not an international service, they do not have a mobile application. You meet non matching profiles.
The finance are very reluctant to reply so for a quick response I finally reached this email *******@elitesingles.com
My advise don't waste your money over paid dating sites, there are lots of free apps to check.
Literally non-functioning app, you get notifs all the time that someone has messaged you, but when you open the app you find there's no messages! And you send messages to profiles but you never get any response! I highly doubt the messaging feature of this app even works!
Customer service has no reading comprehension or understanding of their own product or how to help customers.
I can't believe I ripped myself off by buying the premium service (oh yeah, they make you sign up for premium to even *try* the service to begin with).
Don't choose this company
Horrible
Bad "matches" - low quality
Almost the opposite of what you want or dream
The app gives you pretty much random men, who are not even 5% close to your ideal you describe! Run away
1) Never mind your preferences, you'll be matched with whomever.
2) You'll never receive any customer service.
3) The "Support" option leads every time to "Unable to Connect". (shady!)
4) Your profile answers/descriptions will be forever "under review"... same with everyone else's, so there will be no information except for five basic facts about each person.
5) Their company in Berlin is making a ton of money, as if they set up this cash cow website and then walked away... I'm trying hard not to use the word "scam" here.
The worst experience, my 1st date site, all fake profiles, people scamming money, unreal they are in business. No way to contact them, my profile has been in review 2 months, supposed to be 24 hrs. So no one can even read my profile? RIPOFF
This site is a joke. You can't even change basic info like your height without contacting customer service which, does not respond. If you want to delete account because the matches are so far off you can do that but you won't get a refund. You'll just be ignored no matter how many times you try to contact them.
My favorite was a suggestion that I be more tolerant regarding my views on smoking/drinking as I'd probably get more matches! Really? No means no and never means never.
I avoided this site for a long time due to price. However, I happened to run into a ‘deal' on the site that put it on par with others. I took it. (Also discovered that depending on search engine, price was different) I should add that I am male seeking male. Could be different for different people.
I have found:
1)The format and sign up process is same as a couple of other sites.
2)Takes forever to get profile "out of review". I finally called about 3 weeks after initiating-they still haven't corrected for one thing, my age. This call was early Jan, ‘21. It is late March, ‘21. Also have a couple of changes from about four weeks ago still "in review".
3)Attempts to alter wording to better reflect myself have been rejected because it didn't read the way their ‘suggestion' did. (Which totally missed the point).
4)Many of the match suggestions don't have profile photos. A lot are totally inappropriate.
5)And like other sites, a message came up saying I was setting my preferences too strict when I indicated I absolutely can't tolerate a smoker. I take that to mean that I won't get as many suggested matches.
I wasn't fooled by the initial personality question stuff-I did it anyway. Perhaps that is the basis of getting these matches without anything else in common. Great—I could be sitting and cuddling in front of T. V. 365 nights a year with someone that is disciplined like myself!
Nothing nasty here, but very disappointing. Keep expectations low, and hunt for competitive price and find out for yourself. The sites seem to draw from the same pot.
Answer: I've used E-harmony and many other American sites, I was disappointed and frustrated over a huge amount of scammers and a miserable amount of real profiles. European sites like https://j4l.com/402007 Are so much better! They ferret out scammers and there are no fake profiles. Ladies are much more high-end, calssy and sociable. It's a paradise compared to E-harmony!
Answer: I wish I could help you. I've been using the contact feature on their website and I have had a few responses (template style emails) but am not getting what I want---a refund. Elite singles HQ is in Germany. I feel like I am peeing into the wind with them but we have to keep trying! Infuriating, isn't it?
