Beware! I wished I had read reviews first before becoming a member. They automatically renew your services and steal $167 from your Paypal with no warning. They claim they sent me several reminders and they may have but I only open mail from sources I know. The email says it is from "Support Spark Networks Services GmbH" WTH? Oh, and talk about cons on this network. And butt ugly men suggestions. I am so disgusted with this situation and ticked off that they refuse to refund me that $167 they stole.
Don't waste your money or time with SilverSingles. When my account was hacked I sent customer service 4 messages and 3 emails and they never responded. Then after 2 days they send me an email telling me they deleted my account. My paid premium account. Umm hello? No refund or explanation? They also have no phone number you can call to talk with them directly. This is the most frustrating service I have ever used.
Silver Singles is the WORST dating website I have ever been on - and I have tried a lot of them over the years.
99% of the "matches" they send you have no photos and 75% of the "matches" live way too far away.
If there is a photo it is usually only 1 and often is sideways or you can even tell what the person looks like. You can't search for anyone which is ridiculous. The content of the profiles is usually not helpful at all in learning about the person. Completing my own profile was laborious and annoying.
I wish I'd gotten my money back right away! Horrible dating website!
I have been on hold for 56 minutes in order to cancel, no one has answered yet, they stated to hang up and someone will call back I don't believe them. Also I was not able to cancel at the end of my six months because they were on vacation, Unbelievable!
Total waste of money. People have fake profiles. They have sent me warnings they catch after the person has already contacted you. I took the time to answer all questions and they don't use them any ways. I would say 80% of matches don't have pictures or hardly a profile. Biggest con site ever run from this site.
It looks like they are just gathering personal and financial information. It's obviously not safe because the site is being hacked regularly. Then, they tend to overcharge and sometimes ban you for no reason. Women on SIlverSingles don't respond to my messages, it feels like a ghost town. I had no results there, men outnumber women greatly, so the women are unresponsive or rude. Instead of getting rid of fake profiles, SIlverSingles prefer to ban their paying members - it's not a site, it's a bad joke!
Don't waste your money! Terrible customer service or should I say impossible to reach customer service. This site is a scam. I probably get 8 scam messages a day. Same message with different photos. Most popular scam is "my friend saw you on this site. She's in the military. She wants your email and phone #."
I've tried to contact customer service but have never been able to get anyone.
Software works very poorly on iPhone 13.
I just paid for "Silversingles" Dating site but there was few members only, I am a female looking for a male but the dating site has sent other females to make matches with me. LOL
Since there had no real matches to me, I emailed my concerns to customer Service, she replied right away and Silversingles didn't charge me any cents. The lady told me they give all members 5 free days.
The customer service people are responsible and respectful, hopefully they will get more members quickly.
I gave them 4 stars.
Don't waste your money. I had every preference set to the least possible ("Not Important") setting yet still got messages saying that my preferences were too strict. When I set that I was only interested in non-smokers, I was still sent profiles of daily smokers. There's no way to set a distance preference less than 50 miles away, and even at 50 miles away I was matched with people over 200 miles away. Racial and cultural preferences seem to be ignored, and even though I selected that it's important to me to be matched with someone close to my height (I'm close to 6'), I was still matched with men around 5'3". You'd be better off picking somebody up off the street - at least you'll know they're a real person. I can't believe how many profiles were fake (note to scammers: people from Philly generally don't use the word "mayhaps"). They should be paying me for how many I reported. I absolutely will never go back on there.
First of all, the site does not have any matches that are nearby. Also, the site is set up in such a way that although you have cancelled the service, in fact, if you're not thorough enough, they will charge you for another three months. And then, refuse to refund the money, on the day of the unwanted renewal. Stay away from this place. It's a total rip off.
Given my age I thought I would have best luck finding someone compatible on SilverSingles. Wrong! Most people lived over two hours away and in other states (although I requested within 50 miles) plus I was shocked to have two scammers after just a couple months in it - yet SilverSingles says they screen the m out. A couple years ago I tried a couple other dating sites and encountered no scammers and met a few people. This site is awful. A waste of my $89
I signed up for 6 months, didn't read the "Fine" print and they charged the $300+ to my credit card at once instead of the advertised "Monthly" rate. I was angry. The people available on the website look nothing like the advertisement. I have not had ONE person I was interested. In other words, save your money.
I am now caught in an endless loop. Trying to cancel my membership and get referred to a place I cannot get to, told to use email without being given an email address, etc! Wish I would have done my homework and read this site first! Can anyone out there help me get to cancellation destination? I am using my correct password and it keeps telling me that it is incorrect and then I get caught in that loop when trying to change it! Someone help me out of this purgatory! Their "help" is of no help at all. I'm getting a terrible feeling... now what do I do? You can still save yourself!
I thought I would find a mature and family-oriented woman of my age on Silversingles, but eventually I found her on some other site. SilverSingles was a total failure. It looks like SilverSingles' popularity is on the decline now, so all they can offer is a bunch of outdated profiles and a few bot-written vague introduction messages with no follow-up. I exchanged a few letters with one lady but she was full of ego and somewhat socially unhinged. To cut it short, SilverSingles don't supply what they promise and therefore they are not worth the money they are asking for.
When you visit online dating sites You want to see the potential partners or Read their Bio before you invest. This crappy site doesn't allow you to even nibble. Bad site, do not waste your money. I have spent $200 on other sites, what a waste of time. Too Expensive
Terrible experience. I got sucked into paying before I could even see any profiles. I completely filled out my profile, multiple pictures and sent messages and "smiles" to people. I only received emails back from 2 or 3 people out of 40-50.
Most of the men were OLD, FAT and SHORT. I realize this sounds mean but come on! I contacted customer service after about a week to cancel my membership, and I requested at least a partial refund (I paid for the 6 month plan). Response was a big NO!
Guess I only had 3 days to change my mind. Big giant ripoff!
Pass this service by and for gods sake DO NOT PAY!
They said I could "gift" it to someone else.
Says in fine print that they will refund your premium membership if you cancel during 3 day cool down period, I cancelled and they won't Refund because I didn't write a refund request in those 3 days when I cancelled. No where does it say you have to specifically write a request for a refund. Also they sell your email address, I'm getting German spam.
I joined as a Male seeking Females (and there were no mistakes in my typing or preferred gender). The matches that the site gave me were men. IF the site can't get that correct, why would I trust them with anything else! Deleted Account in less than 12 hours.
Majority of Matches received are 50 to 200+ MILES and / or 5+ years of age beyond preferences set
Matches showing education levels up to Master's degree lack basic sentence structure and poor grammar. OBVIOUSLY fraudulent profiles.
Multiple profiles with same pictures. Again, obviously fraudulent profiles.
About 50% of matches received do not have pictures.
Site views drastically different between app and online.
Browsing profiles is not an option. Confined to matches provided.
Customer service fails to provide responses to these concerns.
Extremely disappointed with this dating site.
Save your money. I suspect this site is nothing but a scam. Every day I look for new matches. The pictures are listed as "New" but they are not new. They just keep sending me pictures of the same people. I wish I could get a refund. SilverSingles is horrible. It's not even worth one star.
Answer: You do not want to sign up to this site for even a minute. They are scammers through and through. They will have no matches for you but will clear your bank account. Please don't join.
Answer: File disputes with your CC company and/or PayPal I am fighting for a refund also report them to anyone that matters we have to get the word out
Answer: YOU BEEN SCAMMED! I PAID ABOUT THE SAME, BUT I WAS ABLE TO SIGN ON AND USE IT. BELIEVE ME, YOU'RE BETTER OFF AS IT'S FULL OF SCAMMERS, MEN POSING AS WOMEN AND WOMEN POSING AS MEN TO GET YOUR $$$. I HAVE 457 "MATCHES" ACCORDING TO THEM. 457? BS
