“I had given them a one star review and was given a refund so feel less angry.”

There were about six-seven people in my state on the site, as a woman that is 55, I was approached by many romance scammers. I was surprised when I asked for a partial refund and it was granted.

I'm sick of it! I wanna go back to EasyFling4You And keep on using it and enjoy the dates. This site was very helpful to me in the past and it really worked, what a huge mistake I made when I decided to sign up for EliteSingles! Their cancellation policy is a money rip-off. It seems that there is no way to leave. Now I have to deal with these rogues, call them, message them, fax them, send mails to Luxembourg or Ethiopia or whatever else they will come up with? It's definitely one of the biggest fraud I have ever encountered.

This is the worst dating site ever. I was online for less than 21 days. The site notified me of 3 suspected scam profiles that had been in contact with me. There were an additional 2 profile contacts by con artists that they did not pick up on. Both eventually wanted money. Other than that they totally ignore the distance parameters you input. Most of my matches lived in the US or Quebec.

Tip for consumers:
A warning should be posted on this website. They are disgusting

I signed up for this service months ago that keeps showing me the same inappropriate choices day after day. Same $#*!, different day, mostly not having anything to do with my preferences. Cancel my subscription! Ooops, no way to do so!

Tip for consumers:
The results on this dating site have been the same since day 1 which was several months ago. No emails, no notifications, nothing of interest, inappropriate results, still there day after day, and no way to delete! The delete option is not live!! Let me out!!!!!!

I enrolled there becase Forbes.com enlisted it as top dating site. There're 4 women listed in this densely populated metropolitan, and they don't seem 'elite' at all. I would like to delete my profile LESS THAN 24 HOURS later, and they would not allow me to log in. Keeps rejecting the log in saying it's the wrong credentials, won't even let me reset new password. Data scammers for real.

Tip for consumers:
They did refund a full US $131 without being requested. But I would like to delete my data in there, they won't let me log in.

You can't even talk to anyone at the management - they don't let you! When a company makes it hard to contact them, there is a reason for that. I can't imagine anyone EVER renewing once they get ripped off at first. The site has soooo many scammers. Usually they only have one photo — and also, no matter what their age is, the profiles mostly say these two things:
1) want kids someday (even if they are 55 etc…makes no sense)
2) they all have a masters degree! Few have masters degrees. The scammers all say "masters" to make them look better to the other party.

Also…stay away from ALL Asian women on the site (probably aren't real) - notoriously scammers.

There are so many bad dating sites and this is in that pile of $#*!.

Notice what the person does for a living on the photo below. "real estates". Americans don't say that, we say real estate with no "S". Telltale sign they aren't from America like they say they are.

Tip for consumers:
This is one of the worst dating sites.

The site it self is a bit of a scam because even if you are a paying member the other person can not see your message, picture, or respond to you or unless they are also a paying member. So you are getting cheated automatically by the site.

Second, almost every single person I did chat with, which was quite a few, ended up being a scammer. The conversations generally would last for hours, maybe not all at once, but they are trying to get you interested before they drop the scam pitch. For example, "let me help you invest in crypto binary option trading" or "poor me can you help" with money or gift card. You're more likely to win the lotto by spending this amount of money on the website, than you are likely to find love on this site.

I notified them of the cancelation, and they continued charging - any business that does not give you an address to complain is not one to deal with. Try yourself and you will find. 86 year old

This website has fake profiles. Within 2 weeks of joining, I started getting messages that "xyz" user who you were in communication with is being investigated fraud... Most users are fake - you can easily make it out.

While elite singles has a good sounding name, it does not live up to any expectation you would want from any matchmaking company. It also does not vet anybody it simply takes money and lets anybody join without verifying anything. I would not regard this as a safe website. I tried to cancel, but it had been over three days (it was a week) so there was no way to cancel it despite them breaching their own promises. Over half the people who communicated with me did not have pictures, some had gross statements about what they wanted and others made comments that were disrespectful, sexual, and inappropriate. While those people can be reported, it is not my job to clean up their website, it is theirs. Essentially they breached their own contract and will not return money. If you want matchmaker get a human being or get matched friends you trust or activities you get involved in. This is NOT the way to go. I WOULD WRITE THEM A NEGATIVE NUMBER IF I COULD — THEY ARE ALSO BASED OUT OF BERLIN, NOT THE UNITED STATES. They must laugh all the way to the bank duping all the people who sign up!

Tip for consumers:
Refund policy should’ve been stated in clear language upfront. There should be a description of how they verify applicants in order to qualify for using the term Elite. They need to monitor the language and statements made by participants to ensure safety.
Not Elite. Not Safe. Not Verified. Only interested in money. Minimum sign up is three months — that should say at all. One month as a trial is not offered!

The people I was interested in 100% of them turned out to he scammers here is how I find out:

All of them had lavish lifestyles, had a great job, great looking, talk about the things woman would love to hear, quickly wanted phone number, 90% of the day hours show active online profile, meaning they were chatting with others, don't they have jobs?

So I reported them and Elite singles reveal they are scammers. So be very aware of this site.

Elite singles didn't allow me to send them a message anymore because I offered to catch the scammers online for them since I'm getting very good at it. LOL...don't sign up for this site, it's horrible

Tip for consumers:
I hope there was some way to ban this site.

Definitely don't waste your money. I've been on this site for just over a month and out of 6 people I've spoken to 5 of them were fake profiles. I got security alerts from the site, and I reported two of them. I haven't had a connection with a single match. I am getting matches from all over Canada and the US even though my parameters were within 100 KM. They are also outside of my age and race parameters so just a total mishmash. I have asked for a refund and they said I could transfer my subscription to another user! My worst enemy maybe...lol. What a complete ripoff and super high risk for scammers.

Almost every match was a scam. The issue is they tolerate this because even an idiot can tell what's going on.

I interacted with 15+ people (got 20-30 "smiles") over a 1 month period and 100% were deemed to be fake profiles. Save your money. You can read the profiles and see the exact same text in multiple profiles and many pictures of almost celebrity looking people. I just started reporting them to try and help others. Worst spend of $100, glad I only did 1 month!

Unsubscribing is very difficult, doable but not easy

The quantity of paying members is minimal, so your options of someone close to your area is very small, perhaps 2 to 4 in your city. That is for a month. Also, the site is full of scam members with fake profiles with who knows what intentions. Previous to joining the site I did my research and found excellent reviews, for sure they are fake. I just wrote this information so other people save their money and disappointment.

Having their 72 hr. Window only to ask for a refund is RIDICULOUS! The3y kept sending me the same pitiful selections--miles away from my requested zone. The couple men I responded to, didn't respond to me, yet the site kept sending me the same folks.

Don't waste your money. Every day I receive lots of profiles to view. But in 45 days no visitor of my profile. The poorest dating app ever, after using several other dating app! I assure you it is just waste of money. After sending several email, still no improvment. I can provide all the communications that indicate the poor performance of the web n the app ( which are not quite along each other). I wonder if anyone has ever found love through this dating site/app. I doubt! It was just waste of time n money. No star at all!

Been with the site for many years. First, it went well. Then, I got a few scammers from the site. All kinds of lies and BS. Site admin is not very concerned about the user's safety. Fee is very high. Not worth anything.

Save your money and stay away from EliteSingles. This app has the same sketchy users as any FREE dating app but charges for anything and everything. All non-refundable despite what they initially promise. They don't have any options to request a refund and by the time you figure you had to email them, they say too late. No refunds.

Tip for consumers:
The worse dating app I've ever tried.

Many dating sites that I have used have a dedicated customer service number but, EliteSingles does not. I'm running into issues with the "explore" function but, have had not found any helpful answers provided by other members. If your spending good money to use there website then they need to apply some of that money to a dedicated telephone customer service department.

So, they told me I need to expand my preferences. 100 miles isn't unreasonable. So, they match me with Scotland 300 miles away. They match me with people 20 years younger. The list goes on. I think they're desperate for members so chuck out everything they can muster
