  I lost my husband to cancer a while back and thought I would join an online dating service to see what was out there. I joined zoosk and was blocked by an administrator after a couple of weeks. When I asked why I was blocked, the response was they detected inconsistencies and I needed to send a picture of my DL, I sent that and radio silence. Never heard back from them and still blocked. I have no clue why I was blocked, I asked for an explanation and never got a response. It took alot for me to join a site and now I am highly discouraged. I did nothing wrong, was just looking for company.

  awful, awful experience. Lots of fake accounts that attempt to get you connected off the site. Matches are just not great, so not really sure what good the questionnaire does. It is almost as if no one is bothering to really make sure matches are really successful. Tried to get a refund right after joining - only to be told no. Fine print is that you can only do it as soon as you join which is kind of ridiculous. Would never recommend this, there is nothing elite about this.

  Absolute waste of money! I was on for approx 2 weeks. All my matches where over the distance range that I “mark” very important, I was matched with men who were looking for men or talking about their late husbands- no way for me to fix this! I very specifically stated I wanted an extrovert, matches were the introverts…it just goes on. I emailed customer service, they told me to make my preferences have more importance- they were already marked with high importance. They were unable to offer money back but did offer that I could give the account to a friend..laughable, why would I do that to someone. Not one of the matches came off as either real or educated (unable to tell the difference since I had no contact with them) the me person I sent a “hi” to responded with a response that did not come off as genuine (IMO). Their icons were not explained and were somewhat confusing. I asked about that in the aforementioned email but they did not address it.

  Terrible experience. I subscribed at the end of December and have lost count of how many fake profiles I encountered! I feel so violated and weary of trying to weed through to see if anyone is real. I hope ES will somehow improve their screening process, or just get out of the business. Really makes me question the whole online experience. And of course, when I complained, there was no refund. Feels like a very unsafe site!

  I signed up on ES 6 weeks ago and have had a terrible experience. I attempted to get a refund via the customer care form. The agent responded best she could but was unable to refund policy. Ultimately though, this is a terrible service. There are so many fake profiles, I've begun to wonder if ES is creating them to have more options. I've been catfished multiple times. We shouldn't have to constantly worry about every profile. You've ruined the fun of meeting people online. I signed up for 6 months to allow time to meet someone and it was the more cost effective option. Turned out to be a total waste of money. You need major changes to be successful. Oh, and your site is not user friendly. The app doesn't allow me to log in, so it's unusable. You need new leadership who can make this site work as your statements say. Currently you're failing us clients miserably.

  Less than 1 star. I joined CM on January 2 of this year and was so unhappy with the lack of acceptable men in my area that I sent the following message on the afternoon of the same day: “ My name is —I joined CM today and am not happy with the quality of eligible men in my geographical area. I would like a full refund of my monthly subscription. I tried calling but your phone number is not in service. I also tried chat and never got someone to help me. You can reach me at ——.” I sent another text message on January 7 because I had not gotten a response. I want a full refund of the $49.00 I paid for a month’s subscription.

  I stupidly signed up for a 6-month subscription EliteSingles and connected with 4 people. 1 didn't work out and the other 3 turned out to be scammers. The basic formula is that a scammer makes accounts that look maybe a little too good to be true, but still very believable. A few even take the time to say something in English about your profile, but the end of the paragraph is an invitation to connect outside the EliteSingles website. If you don't respond immediately, they say something challenging like, "I need a man whose not constrained by time and distance." Or even a gentler, "Did I scare you off?" Within the first week, I asked to cancel and they told me that after 4 days, I could not. I set my account to not autorenew, but now I'm out $224.38. I suggested they could convert me to a 1-month subscription and make that non-renewing, but that's not their policy. I strongly recommend people avoid EliteSingles at least for the next few months (it's Dec 2023) until they get their scammer detection worked out. It's not like this on other dating platforms.

  I was on Elite Singles for about 2.5 months. I just cancelled and deleted my profile (hope the deletion works...) after requesting a refund which was denied. On average i was getting 1 to 3 notices per week from their 'customer care' that there had been a security issue re someone i had been in touch with. Mostly they had been in touch with me. My impression is that these security notifications pertain to only a very small fraction of the scams being run on this site. There are many, many profiles with one picture, a few words in required fields in pigeon English, many such profiles resemble one another with seemingly some of the same mistakes. Looks like fake profiles are being set up wholesale. Many contacts when they messaged said "i hate this chat, send me your phone..." Early on I did contact one by text and what a mistake. Immediately following a couple testy email exchanges with ES customer service i received a flush of 5 or 6 'likes' and messages from lovely young women eager to connect. WTF? I'm a 71 year old man--my pictures look reasonably good, i think, but i dont look 35, or even 55. This was not part of the pattern from the previous 2 months. It's an open question as to what that means, but is the admin of ES sending a flush of enticing profiles at me? If so, why? I read reviews of this site before i signed up and they were fair to good for the most part. I hope the word can get out about these people. Looks like this company, out of Germany, is not doing their security due diligence, or worse. It was a waste of time and money for me and could be much worse for someone who's just a little more gullible, and hopeful. Best, Phil

  Elite singles would not refund my remaining unused subscription after seeking cancellation due to security concerns. There are fake accounts. Elite singles sent a canned response to my repeated requests for cancellation and refund due to security concerns. Not consumer centric and definitely not woman friendly.
