Elite Singles

When researching dating sites, Elite Singles seemed like a step above the other dating sites. Let me begin by saying, BUYER BEWARE.

After joining and receiving a number of potential matches, I started to communicate with several persons who I felt were promising, and who I wanted to talk to.

1. As the matches continued to flow in, I saw the same person, and their profile listed more than once on my profile Matches, but each time from a different city. Upon sending a message to the Match pointing this discrepancy, within 24 hours, that person's profile was erased, along with all my messages to that person. Luckily I saved all my external emails and now know these profiles were a FRAUD.

2. After checking around, it seems there is a command center in the middle of nowhere in Kansas where a paid employee(s) is answering emails on behalf of the profile. As you message, the writing tone of the Match changes indicating different persons are answering here. Further cause for suspicion.

3. And if you write too much, all nice stuff too, their profile is deleted as well. Seems this is the method used by the call center to alleviate their workload.

4. There is no US customer service center phone number where you can call. Only to Germany. Another reason to be cautious.

Got to say I am disappointed, and angry at myself for being so trusting to get scammed the way I did.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have to echo the sentiments of several other reviewers. This site is not what it purports to be. In the time I have been a member I have had exactly ONE "match" from a real person within 50 miles of my location. That turned out to be someone who had understated her age by ten years because she didn't like men her own age.

Other than that, nothing at all. "Matches" seem to from anywhere in the USA even though I set a 50-mile limit. When you do get a "match" all you get is the name of a town, not even the state.

Most seem to have no picture and do not respond to requests for pictures, presumably either inactive or fake. The search facilities are useless.

Despite their claims, this is the worst site I have seen, and I really regret signing up with it. I fell for the six-month "best value," and now find that there is no chance of a refund, even partial.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

An absolute waste of money. Full of profiles with very little information, no photos, etc. Requests to upload a photo are usually ignored. No one replies to any messages or smiles you send. I was matched with a lot of people who wanted to have children (I don't). When I complained, I was told these people were still a good match and your desire to have children or not didn't matter!

If you complain about the lack of photos, you are given a detailed explanation of how to request a photo and if you are stupid.

Save your money!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I joined a month ago. Thinking it is worth it to invest in a site that offers quality like-minded people. I hesitated before I join. Read some bad review about Elite Singles. Then I reconsidered thinking there are bad reviews on everything. I was wrong. This is the worst dating website! DO NOT waste your money and go through the frustration!

The membership will automatic renewal when you click to join. You don't have a choice. The profile they send you are nowhere close to what you are looking for. They are from all over the place with no state or country listed. Most do not have a picture. I am assuming most of the profile are not active. Any decent quality person would have left this site.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I joined with a basic membership to gauge how genuine the site really was for United Kingdom members. I fully understand about the charging principles of the site as it was explained how much membership was prior to joining. However, once I started using the site I started to get target "offers" which promised various discounts.

What I don't understand or agree with is that on 8/26/2017 I was offered a 25% discount, but when I tried to take this up, I was just in a continuous loop triggered by "technical issues" on the main site. I received an email asking me to retry. Then, on following the promise of a 25% discount on 8/27/2017 found that the discount had reduced to 16%, but the wording etc. had not changed.

I emailed Elite Singles asking them to explain why this would be but the generic sounding reply simply skirted the issue. It is my guess that this is a tactic that other customers may not have spotted and perhaps my discovery needs to be shared on the necessary social media forums since it is a form of scam. Their email contained a link to their German customer service site, which is written in German, of course!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

A week ago I joined this website. This morning I was unable to pull the website up on my PC or laptop. I tried calling the customer service number shown when you Google (800-252-0044). The answer was that it is not a working number.

I also tried another number shown as customer service (855 856 6451). He identified himself as an Elite Singles rep with a heavy Asian accent, who requested access to my computer to help me solve the problem. I gave him access only to realize that what he was doing is getting personal info, hacking my system, telling me I've been hacked from someone in Mexico, etc.

I called and canceled all credit cards and put a stop on all bank accounts. I will be disputing the charge for membership. I will not pay unless I receive a full explanation.

Until then, stay away from this website.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Rating is NO STARS.

After six months of absolutely nothing except wasted time, when I tried to cancel I was told I had agreed at joining for auto renewal. I said, "but I do not wish to renew Elite Singles, and no customer should be forced to autorenew if they don't want to," but despite this, I still keep being told even though I don't want the renewal they cannot do anything!

Well, I beg to differ. Of course they can. They can be a decent and fair enterprise and simply cancel my membership and return my money with no penalty and no foul, BUT NO. As if the poor experience wasn't enough they want to add insult to injury by ripping me off with another few hundred pounds!

They want to unscrupulously scam people like me out of their hard earned cash and deliver no value whatsoever!

Save yourself hundreds of pounds a year and STAY AWAY.

I have written to Elite Singles to say I don't want to subscribe to another six-month membership but have not gotten a refund. Now I understand why they need a million pound budgets for advertising and how they get the money in the first place.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I signed up for this site with hopes to find someone to connect with. Well, the matches they matched me up with didn't smoke like I do or anything that I do. This site is a failure to the dating community, and I don't recommend this site at all. To top it off, the money $120 will not be refunded. Gotta love getting swindled. They won't ever see any of my business ever again. Worst dating site on the web.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I would not recommend this site. They don't even have a customer service line to help you. I couldn't see my matches for the last two weeks, and my subscription doesn't end until the end of August. I have tried emailing them three times, and no one has responded. I tried to find a customer support number via Google since they don't list one on their site.

When I called the number, some guy answers "technical support" and asks me for my email and then proceeds to tell me the reason why I can't see my matches is because my account is being used by someone in Mexico City. He then tells me that I've been hacked and need to get computer fixed/virus removed etc., and how much it's going to cost. Of course I didn't give him my information. This was phishing, and I knew to hang up. Bottom line, it's a scam. Don't waste your time.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This site won't allow the members to show their marital status or geographic location by state, and it takes forever to log in. They do not send me matches according to my requirements. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I signed up and paid the fee, thinking that I would have better luck meeting someone real and that was actually interested in a relationship. I've been on for a year, have not gone on one date. I'm definitely not ugly. Most people do not have pictures available or finished profiles.

Very disappointed and would not recommend this site to anyone.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
