Singlesnet.com - NEGATIVE!

Postby Marisa on Tue May 27, 2008 4:33 am

This one holds the second place by amount of scam reports, after eharmony. Very bad, heavily infested, no profile and IP checks, and most importantly, never remove scammers, even after reports. They only remove them if they are paid members and their stolen CC bounces back as a fraud.

STAY AWAY!! NOT WORTH PAYING!

singlesnet.com-ALL Scammers?...

Postby sper654 on Thu May 29, 2008 12:46 pm

After doing some fishing, I am beginning to believe that this site may be completely run by scammers. Saw pic of someone I went to high school with, sent her an email (we kept in touch at times), and she didn't know the site existed. She believes they took her pic from another site.

Also, after the first incident I had on that site, I stopped getting hits on "my" profile. They don't return emails and don't answer the phone at the listed number. You get a computer generated email-sometimes in poor English, advising you to call the number during normal business hours. I have seen MANY, MANY of the "women" pictured on this site there, as well.

If anyone else has had the same experience, please post such, but I'm leaning with my gut instinct, which is telling me the whole site is fraudulent, and run by the scammers.

Postby LeoMane on Sun Jun 01, 2008 6:55 pm

I only recently joined singlesnet and have already spoken to two locals on the phone and met one local woman. We had a nice meeting and she just emailed me to say she'll call again.. well maybe....
I also just recieved my first scam eamil on this site. From Elena aka Lydmila aka Valentina .. one I have seen on this site in "Russian Females - White" scam section (still looking on here but can't seem to find her again.. soooo many)
Anyway, I already know she is a scammer and have pics of her from other sites she sent to me.. under different names... ( I wonder if they realize this? I hope not, then can spot em right away).

Other than that, I haev not yet recieved any other scammers...
So.. I am mixed about this site...
I'll say it this way.. there are legitimate people on this site actually looking for dates. Perhaps is best to keep it local, but that is not any guarantee either.

There are real people on ANY site, after all, those who report scammers on this board are also real. But the thing is: if you know how to tell scam, you will be safe anywhere.

But unfortunately, not everybody is familiar with scams, and not everybody is searching for somebody local. Some men are particularly searching for overseas girls, and are not interested in local dates. Those people unfamiliar with scams shouldn't be on the sites where they receive scam messages, guess "scam or not scam", and PAY for it.

Just to add to what Marisa said, you REALLY need to pour through the profiles on singlesnet. It's great that you've met someone and talked to another, but I can say this: I spoke to, on yahoo, someone from nearby, from that site. Her picture was that which had places in my area familiar to me in the background, including a bus stop I know of, and a departing bus. She was a scammer. So just because they claim to be local, doesn't necessarily mean they are, OR doesn't mean that they aren't out to scam.

Another thing I've noticed is that the scammers have no idea of the racial makeup of areas when they post profiles. The area where I live is over 75% of one nationality. Certain neighborhoods are 100% Caucasian. When I read that Hispanics, Asians, or African Americans are claiming to live in specific neighborhoods, I KNOW it's a scammer.

Also, as I've posted, singlesnet's Customer Service is practically non-existent. They don't answer phone calls, and send computer generated emails. I've reported scammers, whose profiles are still listed. And their emails sometimes have horrible English. So it's definitely a site I'm leery of, and definitely don't recommend it.

I recently got a subscription to the site (expires in 2 weeks) I wont be renewing it either. I actually joined because I was sent a "I would like to talk" message from an attractive girl 10 mile from me, now she acts like she does not want to talk, and I dont pursue people who show no interest!
This place is VERY HEAVILY infected with scammers...yesterday alone I had 5 attempts from them I sent back > SCAMMER MUGU and they all 5 deleted theirself! lol I would not be surprised if the mgmt of that place does some of their own or condones it so all the members see "Action"!

I will bait and burn one soon!

My Rule #1 25 miles or less
#2 No phone No way

I have had men on the site email me and when I read their profile it talks about how they are only there to meet women for sexual encounters. I got tired of getting emails from people like that so I put in my profile that I was not just there looking for sex - please don't write if you are. They took that out of my profile and wouldn't let me post it. So it's ok for men to post that they want sex but not for women to post that they don't! Pretty discriminatory - and I've told them that, too.

One man in particular has age 44 posted on his profile. I could tell from his photographs that he was much older than 44. He had emailed me several times asking when I was going to meet him and finally, I emailed him and asked him how old he really was. His real age was 68. I told him that I thought that was wrong and I was going to report him to Singlesnet. He responded to me with: "When I first joined this dating service more than one year ago, I entered my actual age and received profiles of ladies who were between the ages of 55-65.. After several dates and discussions, I decided to call the Singlesnet organization to see why I was not receiving profiles of younger ladies. The singlesnet people told me that their computer only issues profiles of ladies who are no more than 20 years younger than the person requesting profiles. Since I prefer dating younger ladies between ages 35 -55 I told Singlesnet that I was disatisfied with the profiles of older ladies.
She also told me that there was no way that I could go into my account and change my age. She said the thing that she could do so that I would receive profiles of Younger ladies is to "Plug in a number" and that is what she did."

So there you have it. You can't search for anyone by entering YOUR preferences, they chose those preferences for you. And if that doesn't work they tell you to lie on your profile. I've emailed Singlesnet about this - it's wrong and I do NOT think that they should be allowed to do this.
