Too frustrating
September 4, 2023

You can set preferences but that doesn't matter, which is frustrating. I keep getting notifications- for nothing- just a clickbait, which is frustrating. People actually think they are gonna have kids with possible matches on this site. Could not change locations when I moved (or at least not immediately but I deleted my account before I checked back)

How and where does someone report these people? I signed on never imagining a dating site could be so bad. They send you matches from thousands of miles away, I don't even think the people exist mostly that they send you, half have no pictures, you cannot search yourself. It is the worst ever

Silver Singles needs a politics pick list
January 12, 2021

I had quite a ride with Silver Singles. The service needs a checkbox or list for political leanings (especially in these fraught times!) so that the application does not insult and anger the clientele by offering matches to liberals of people who say things like "liberals should be fed to the sharks." I was sent a number of matches where the man indicated he hated liberals, but the feeding to the shark one was the last straw. If it can't sort out this sort of mismatch, the service is VERY POOR. I was so angry at that last "match" that I ended my subscription and I will never return.

Men beware!
June 30, 2019

The larger scam was you don't know how many people are involved. The one method that was tried on me. I had a woman write to me and say " hi gorgeous, I'm leaving this site but I have a beautiful young woman friend that is in town for business and looking for an honest man." She gave me her gmail. We talked a lot. Long story short. She said she had to go to the Netherlands for business but as luck would have it she said she needed my credit cards or bank account. Because she lost hers and was stuck. Just coincidence?

No Customer Service
April 1, 2022

I continually received emails from people asking me to contact a "friend" who was not a member. I repeatedly reported this behavior and they did nothing. You won't get your money back if you cancel because of these deceptive people. Don't waste your time or money on Silver Singles.

They have random, ineffective matching system with no regard to your preferences. The majority of profiles are fake. Tricky auto-renewal and cancellation policy. SilverSingles fails on all fronts. It is membership-based, so they play all these tricks with automatic renewals, recurring payments and inability to cancel. Obviously, SilverSingles platform is geared to rip off. It's just another time-waster and money-vacuum.

I've been on the site for 3 months now. Of the several matches I've reached out to and/or reached out to me (probably around 15 people) I've received notifications of fraud on 1/2 of them. There are a lot of scammers on the site and it seems that they don't have a good security/review system in place to identify them before they connect with people. Save your money this site is not reliable or safe.

Inaccessible
January 24, 2022

The company is impossible to reach. For three days the telephone recording indicated that all operators were busy serving other customers. It said there were? Other calls before me, but no number was given. I was told they would call back if I pressed 1. No one called back. Three days of no connection. Further, they indicated that women had responded and their profiles were at my member site. No one by those names appeared on site. I do not intend to pay for the total lack of service since I signed up last month.

I went through the whole shebang and fill out everything all excited until I got to the end ( payment section) I paused because a little voice said " jackass check the reviews. That was close! Thank you guys I escaped just in time. Hey they sent me an email to complete my registration. Wish I had more time to waste I would fill out a million registrations and leave them hanging at pay page

I signed up just before the Pandemic hit. Turns out they bill you in 6 month increments with no email reminder sent. I saw a bill go through from them as Sparks network and contacted them immediately to cancel my membership and issue a refund and they refuse. Their business practices are terrible, Instead of letting you opt out and refunding you, and preserving a business relationship, they take your money and run. My recommendation is signing up elsewhere like OurTime.com. Stay away from Silver Singles!

What a con!
January 2, 2020

Sounded too good to be true, and now I know it is. Height is important to me, no one shorter than 5'8" please - got lots of enquiries from men just over 5 ft. Matches must be close to me, i. E. within 15 miles - had matches from Scotland, Wales, Isle of Wight - I'm near Brighton. Their customer service is dreadful, just a load of excuses. Be warned - don; t sign up.

Sad site
January 6, 2020

I paid for a three month subscription, not one response and the matches with photos they sent were at least 100 miles away from me. ALL of the local matches had no photos, so who knows if they were even real. They DO NOT refund any money... My Feeling it is a scam... 90.00 worth - but they did good!

I've been on Silver Singles for about five months now. With few exceptions, all of the "men" I've met on this platform have misrepresented themselves. Most ask me to leave the platform so we can communicate by email/text. Many say that they're reaching out on behalf of a friend, boss, etc. I've not had any dialogue to speak of and no in-person meetings. So not worth the money.

Terrible site
January 2, 2022

This has got to be the worst senior dating site around. Wish I had read the reviews before joining. Most of the time I can't contact anyone or respond to any inquiries- I just get a blank screen that says "none" in the upper left corner. Multiple requests to their customer service are ignored. I did talk to one other member and she has the same problem. This is clearly just a rip-off.

I was contacted by over 20 fake profiles in under 2 weeks. I received emails from Silver Singles warning me about these profiles - many of whom I had already figured out were fake. Don't waste money on this site!

Bogus Profiles
January 4, 2021

I joined this website two weeks ago in an attempt to meet someone. What I found out was that the profiles of the members were all fake and bogus! Scammers are combing this website collecting your personal information in an attempt to do something illegal with it. Not one member was interested in chatting or getting to know me personally but would instead ask inappropriate questions about my personal life. My advice to anyone, beware of this site because your information may be in jeopardy!

This site does not reveal full profile to viewers. Automatic matching does not match member preferences. Almost all matches no where near me geographically and very little in common due to poor programming of preferences and profile provided. Very disappointed. It doesn't matter how attractive your site appears if you cannot provide the service. :(

Scammed
May 9, 2022

I've had three men try to scam money from me on this site. They all start texting, want your number, then are called out of the country and you need to download an app like Skype. They continue to text and about 10 days into this they need money now. Please don't fall for it.

Complete scam! Very few real people, no appropriate matches close to me, impossibility to cancel. They are typical dating scoundrels! There is only hoax and no scam, only fake profiles and nasty community - a 100% contrast to what a dating site should be like. Don't waste your time on Silversingles, I can tell for sure, with so much choice of dating apps and sites, they are not worth a dime!
