“Its name is deceptive ITS NOT CHRISTIAN DATING!”

Jack C.
8/18/21

Zero activity level. I chose J4Dating.com -I'm getting a lot of contacts there and enjoying my communication with beautiful ladies. Now I'm at the point of making a big and important decision, following my heart and choosing my One and Only woman. So my experience with ChristianMingle was very poor. I'm an average-looking 43 year old man with good income. I sent 80 letters and got 1(!) response. If you value your time and have some self-respect, just use a bigger and more popular dating site and search for a Christian woman there. Christianmingle is not a true dating site. It's a big scam. Don't believe its name! It's a typical scam site, a giant and evil money-making machine with mostly fake profiles and catfishers.

“Waste of time,money, and peace of mind”

KD C.
2/29/24

I joined Jan 2024 and quit Feb 2024 after buying a 6 month membership. Summary of experience: Of 30 men I "chatted with"—- maybe 2 were real life people who were there for honest reasons. Which means all the others were scammers. My stress level increased expotentially as I realized I had to develop a high level of suspicion I never had in my daily life. Other issues: preferences make no difference as your "matches" from CM do not reflect anything you marked in preferences. Clunky slow messaging—takes way too long to even chat with someone. Takes 30 minutes to say what you could have said in SMS or by phone in 5-7 minutes. Doubtful that CM vet any profile based on my experience. They probably are misrepresenting their success rate of real connections since my experience produced very different stats. Definitely not worth any level of membership.

Been on Christian Mingle 4 months - every profile is either fake or a scam artist trying to steal your personal information. And there is rarely anyone in the city you live in - you are contacted by people hundreds of miles away. Many of the messages are written with multiple spelling errors and grammatically incorrect - clearly written by uneducated frauds. It's absurd.

I honestly believe this site is the most dishonorable dating site I've tried thus far. Look at the BBB ratings and you will find the vast majority who have spend hundreds of dollars experienced loads of fake profiles, almost no responses from anyone other than over 500 miles away, etc. Add that to the archaic search features which waste tons of time and the terrible interface with phones and tablets and customer service that makes your cable and internet providers look like saints (it's that bad). The fact that the word Christian is in the name is reprehensible. Is there no shame or conviction in the ownership?

The site post pictures of people that's barely on the site. They have a very small audience and basically charging you for something they can deliver on.

After 5 years of widowhood, I am ready to share my life with someone. I thought Christian Mingle would be a site where I would meet men who shared my faith and would like to explore a relationship with me. Most of the responses I got turned out to be scammers and I have met no one in person. The matches from the site don't come close to meeting my preferences or I am "matched" to a man who wants a much younger woman. I had more success on a secular site but without a shared faith that isn't going to work for me. This was a hard and costly lesson. I will not be renewing my subscription. Here's is my advice: if you want to meet someone who shares your faith - trust God and go where He is honored - CHURCH.

I meet a nice lad called Jack from 40, SA,TX works as an IT HELPDESK, veteran. He was on premium, so we talked alot after 2 days. I cannot see his message suddenly and they keep prompting me to upgrade since I don't know how to pay using google pay, it took awhile. I promise Jack we would talk again on our dayoff. Then after 4 days CM suddenly suspended my account. I am quite devastated nd decided to stay away from there for good. I hope I can connect to him one day.

Christian mingle has a ton of people on the sight and thats its strength. It falls down hard on its inability to keep endless fake profiles from hitting your in box. You will spend 25 percent of you time on the sight just sorting out the trash. They also claim they will review your photo and profile in 48 hours or less. Its not true, think in terms of 4 to 6 days.

The Mingle sight does not ask any standard questions so the essay section of the profiles on it tend to be weaker than they could be. The sight is ok but it could be better.

I turned in five fake profiles the first 24 hours of use and then a day later my profile was taken down on suspicion of fraud. No reasons given for why I was suspected of fraud. When I complained they came back and said I could rejoin. No thank-you. Stay away from this site. Way too many scammers.

I went on this site in 2014 at the strong suggestion of my counselor. It was nice--met a few nice ladies, had a few dates, one relationship or two, and made friends as well.

Ehem--then I returned in 2020. It was overrun by scammers--I'd stopped looking for love and ran out my subscription by reporting fake profiles, as many as 30 a day. I lost count. Then after a month, customer service told me my account had been hacked and I'd been locked out--and how? I have no idea--but when I called customer service about it they told me and then a dude with a strong Middle Eastern accent told me if I paid Christian Mingle $200, they'd fix my account. So let me get this straight--a useless site with no vetting hacks my account which hasn't given me any value at all, and they want me to pay them an additional $200 to fix it so I can spend more time on their useless site?

Nope--I hadn't met anyone on that site since 2015, so I politely told them no, lost a month or so of my subscription but was fed up. What happened to this site?

There are nothing but scammers on this site! Even the site itself tries to scam you. Months later I receive emails saying they renewed my membership and I have one minute to respond. That email is a SCAM! Every person I was involved with (upwards of 30 men) were looking for money. One that I was involved with for a month and asked for money, ended up on our local news scamming a woman out of $125,000. Christian Mingle is no longer a legit website. DO NOT USE!

After paying for a membership, I realized that the site is worthless. I see only the same handful of men all the time, the site is hard to maneuver, getting your money back is impossible, and there is no real "help" available. Definitely NOT WORTH IT!

Save your money and dont fall victim to the Christian in it's name. No way to cancel in 48 hours, like you should be able to. Scammers galore. One, asked me to send him a 300 Amex Card. Old profiles for matches that haven't been active in years.

Tip for consumers:
Seek out reviews first. Don't use dating sites and if you do be very weary. Never send anyone money

Complete scam and waste of money. Trolls, scammers. 10 people within my demographics. Save your money. I canceled less than 24 hours. No refunds available. Do yourself a favor and go to church and find someone.

Here is the description of myself that was rejected, why, I have no clue as I'm not saying anything wrong or bad "Gary just gave in to temptation and decided to try this for one month to start. He moved west from Montreal in 1982 where he attended Evangel Pentecostal. In Vancouver, Gary was going to Glad Tidings Temple on Fraser St. Pastor at the time was Kirk Duncan. Today he lives alone in his own Condo in Abbotsford BC and has a car. He says he's getting a lot of likes, etc. but none of them are anywhere close to being local. Being local means anywhere in the Lower Mainland of Vancouver and as far out as Whistler, Seattle, and Portland.
I only paid for one month to start. I really want to see if I can find myself a GF to start and then we can talk about something more. I'm tired of being alone and going on road trips by myself. He's retired now so has lots of time on his hands, was working in the Downtown East Side for the City of Vancouver in one of its Social Housing complexes."

I paid for a year's subscription and most of the time I have a message in my inbox and log on, it gives me errors. Sometimes it says I need to subscribe. It is so infuriating most of the time when I can't carry on a decent conversation. I told them and asked for my money back, but they are not responding. Do not waste your time with this place. It is a scam.

Tip for consumers:
Their site doesn't work most of the time and they don't give refunds. They are a scam.

Horrible technology with crazy slow loading times. Features many "users" who are no longer active, giving the dishonest impression that there are plenty of people to meet. Plenty of scammers also. STAY AWAY!

Don't use the site! It may be tempting, but find another Christian dating site.

I am strong Christian woman and had seen many commercials for this website so I thought I would try it. Here is why people should beware and read all the reviews, not just mine, before signing up!
I was only on this website for about 5 days before they were sending me "Alerts" regarding some of the profiles that were posted on the website! Scary! ** These were men that they were warning me about but they still had their profiles uploaded on the website!
I started communicating with 2 men, not the ones they were warning me about. The profiles of these 2 men sounded as though we might have something in common. The first one immediately wanted to meet with me. I said let's talk first. I thought it strange that his profile pic showed him running on the beach but it looked like there was an arm of someone else that was obviously with him, but the body was being blocked out. I continued to text with him, not wanting to judge the pic, alone. We texted back and forth and he sent me 2 more pictures. One showed him with Santa and two elves, but HE WAS WEARING A WEDDING RING! The second picture was showing him with his arms folded and his right hand showing but he blocked out his left hand completely! As a photographer, I could tell it was definitely done purposely by the way he was posed! I asked him when the pics were taken and he said recently! What a scammer!
I had a funny feeling about him but wanted to text and see if my instincts were just me being cautious or if they were legitimate. Well, the Lord is good and is watching over me! Thank you, Jesus!
When I texted him and told him that I saw his ring, he never texted back. Go figure! LOL
Second, another gentleman I was communicating with had a very nice pic and profile. His profile was very articulate. However, after texting with him I realized that he was not articulate at all, and that his texts bordering on being somewhat illiterate. Right away I realized someone else must have written his profile or maybe he copied someone's profile to be his own.
***This website is NOT for the person who is looking for a truthful relationship or for a website that truly vets the profiles, before putting them online! And, they charge you if someone wants to communicate with you and you want to communicate back! If they are going to charge you, what are they using those profits for if not for properly vetting the online profiles!? Not the website for me!
*I prefer not to upload the picture of the person with the wedding ring, although I would like to expose their identity, because I don't want any repercussions!

After my husband passed away I reluctantly decided to try online dating. Thinking a Christian website might be a bit more genuine than others, I paid $50 for a month of fake profiles, fake contacts, fake people and fake customer service. There is NOTHING real about this website. Just scammers trying to take advantage of vulnerable people wanting to make a genuine connection.

Save your money. Don't sign up.
