I met a delightful man on Chemistry.com last March. He said he was working in my state and lived in another. He claimed he was a structural engineer. He was leaving for home in a couple of days. We emailed daily. Since he was very busy with work, he could not meet me right away. We started texting and a few calls per week. He suddenly had to travel to Capetown SA for a job. Then drama started. He was robbed, then his job was shut down. He had no money. I lost nearly $8k in electronic and cash to him before I realized I'd been scammed.

I was scammed by one of your consumers. He was sweet in the beginning and then immediately requested personal information and just became absurd with his love and devotion, only for me to find out that all his emails were false and a waste of my time.

Chemistry.com has a lot of potential, but it's got huge problems. The site's personality test and personality coaching seems pretty accurate and helpful. However, I was inundated with messages from con artists. Also, you can't search by area or zip code. And, I sent out 96 emails and got 1 email response. I contacted customer services multiple times but they were ALWAYS busy. I quit the site. I did get 1 date, but she also quit the site because of all the con artists and poor website function.

I paid for 3 months subscription to Chemistry.com, the sister company of Match.com. I must be a popular target for scammers... age bracket. I get "Winks" and messages only to go to the website to retrieve the sender's info and it magically disappears. Scammers send me "txt me **" numerous times a week. Match.com sends me a daily list of "my matches". However, no similar list from Chem. I want my money back. I'll stick to Zoosk and Tinder with real online matches!

I got on this site with the intention of finding an honest partner and didn't feel the need to subscribe as I wanted to get a feel for what was being offered. Every person who has so far contacted me (usually on the "free" weekends), has turned out to be a scammer. To suss them out, ask to meet face-to-face or Skype so you can put the face to the profile!

I get email from 2 scammers. First, the one in Nevada, Las Vegas. He said he is Maritime Engineer. Why Maritime Engineer live in desert? He told me he love me dearly, want to married me. Right after a week, he said he must go to work oversea, at South Africa. He want to know my cell phone to hear my sweet voice. So I denied to give him cell phone number. He's so mad. So I disconnected with him. The second scammer from San Diego. He also told me he is Civil Engineer. Right after a week, I told him I want to date and meet him at Temecula. Next day, he said he must go to Cyprus island to sign contract with his new company. And few more days, he got my phone number. He text to me. Want me buy iPhone gift card $50.0 and scratch it and send code for him to used so he can contact his partner.
I told him I don't have $50 but have $10.0 only. He text back and forth. Told me at least $15 for gift card. I don't have $15, only $10.0. So he disconnect email to me even. Before he had very sweet letter every day. Told me he love me, want to marry me, buy new house for 2. When he finish his last contract job, he will come back to San Diego marry me. When we exchange pictures on email, he send pictures of his house, a model that has a little note at the corner "beach house", and pictures that he took with his son 15 yrs old. Why he is 65 and has son of 15 yrs old? It's not reasonable.

I initially filled out a questionnaire for Match.com, but did not pay to join. I received frequent emails asking me to join, and advertising their sister site, Chemistry.com. I decided to sign up on Chemistry for a 3 month trial. Originally, I received several "matches" per day. However, they definitely did not match what I was looking for. For example, I asked for non smokers only. Most matches they sent me were smokers. Then began a crazy, at times frightening journey.
I would get "winks" from men from all over the country. Many times, the profile was taken down before I even could look at it. Literally. I got an email saying, so and so sent you a wink. I immediately click on the "see his profile", and a message comes on that that profile has been removed for one of 3 reasons. Then there were the "so and so is interested in you". These "guys" were fake and or scammers. They have a touching profile that is intriguing. However, if you email them, they email back in very broken English. Punctuation, grammar and capitalization are all missing. They aren't going to be on the site any longer, so they want you to call or email their private numbers or email addresses. Several of the email addresses are listed on web sites that track scammers. When I responded that I would only correspond on the site, I never heard from them again.
Another problem I had is that I saw the exact same profile with different pictures. I reported everyone that I had concerns about. I have to say that Chemistry did shut down most of their profiles. When one of my adult sons asked me how the dating site was going, I responded that it seems to me that the gentlemen portrayed are either a scammer or a pervert. Many guys flat out say, "all I really want is sex." I was so disappointed and was going to cancel my membership when I actually met a real gentleman. He emailed me back and forth until we both felt it was time to give out more personal information. We have been getting to know each other, have been on many dates, and feel like we have truly found our soulmate.
If not for this, I would give the site 0 stars. Now, I have tried to cancel my membership. It asks me to enter my password. (Note: I have not had to use the password, ever for this site from my cell phone). I put in my password. It says it is incorrect. There is no "forgot password" link to reset it. There is no phone number or email address to contact Chemistry. I decided to try logging in on to the site from my cell phone. It did have a "forgot password link". I clicked on that link. It prompted me to enter my email address. After I entered it, it said it sent my password to my email. Surprise, surprise, there was no email! Not in my inbox or my spam folder. If I had it to do over again, I would NOT join this site. I will figure out a way to cancel my membership...wish me luck.

Chemistry has charged my credit card, Match has my information. I have asked to be removed from Match due to overcharging. Now tonight my credit card has been charged by Chemistry.com. I am going to file a consumer fraud complaint with the attorney general about the unauthorized charging of the parent company, and the overcharging of Match.
Updated review: July 8, 2015
In my last review, I said that Chemistry.com did not shut down the scammers I reported but I did notice that 2 of the 3 people, who attempted to scam me, well, their profiles are no longer available to view. Not sure if this means they were shut down or they made their profiles unavailable to me. It could mean either scenario. Chemistry.com did not contact me about my reports of the scammers so who knows what happened.
I am hopeful Chemistry.com folks are becoming proactive. Still no real matches. I will keep at it. I added on my profile that scammers need not apply in hopes that they won't. Also, I wanted to say that it is a good idea when trying to identify if someone is a scammer, to ask them questions about where they live and their work life. So far, all of the scammers I dealt with would not answer any questions like that no matter how many times I asked them. They just rattled on in broken English about what a wonderful partner they'd make or how much they loved my smile and looks, etc...
Original Review: June 17, 2015
I have been on Chemistry.com for three weeks. First day I could not log back in after I Iogged off, and I was told I was shut down. I spent a bit of time creating a profile so I wasn't happy about that. They said they did refund my money. I should have left well enough alone and pressed them to restart my profile. They did. Well, the matches aren't very good and so far, I have had three scammers wink and connect with me. Their English is pretty broken so it is obvious, they aren't the Engineer, Architect, and American Army captain they each claim to be. When I pressed them on that issue, one of them told me he was German and just moved here 5 years ago so since I speak German, I emailed him in German. SO, then he emails back that he left Germany when he was 3 and doesn't speak it. He grew up in Jamaica he then claims. So, why is his English so bad?
The other one told me he was born in South Africa and adopted by British parents and his English is poor because English wasn't his first language but his pictures show he is white. All three of these scammers spun stories that were unbelievable in the end and the inconsistencies between emails were huge. One guy said he had a seven year old daughter in his email but his profile said he had a 15 year old son. When I called him on it, he said it was a mistake due to the website... He wrote the profile and me the email so who made the mistake? I am sorely disappointed with this website. Worst part is that after I reported these scammers, Chemistry didn't shut down their profiles. I see they are still out there on the site looking for victims. Hope it won't be you. My recommendation - try another online dating site.

Joined for a one month trial period... Every matched person and I counted that contacted me was a scammer. Profile listing showed them as being in a certain area but instead they were not. Lots of fake profiles some are duplicates from Match. I guess they share but the problem with that is that those who are on other sites cannot contact or be contacted. Big waste of energy and time and money. 120 scammers of them instantly 20 "was in love" and then when reporting that a profiles photo was of a model after an internet photo search found on a photo buy site... nothing was done. Even had the experience of watching a profile being changed in the "stream." A woman's profile was slowly being transformed into a male's photo and profile. In that particular case the scammer had already contacted me before and their profile disappeared... and was now being recreated before my eyes.
I was then given 2 additional months and pretty much spent that time reporting scammers and fake photos. Received several contacts with links to fake chemistry pages for "additional photos" set up to steal passwords. Reported the actual pages and gave them a link with actual directory of names and passwords already stolen that I stumbled on... got no reply from Chemistry on the find.
Be VERY VERY careful with Chemistry site as it is apparently not secure and they do not have enough staff to handle reported scammers. Also your photos are easily able to be copied off the site as there is no copy protect on the pages. I was able to copy and download photos of all those fake photos to my computer... so guess what, your photos could be stolen and used in another fake profile. Hundreds or initial joiner with TEXT phone number to contact them.

One gigantic problem I have run up against with Chemistry.com is that there are men who claim to live in the Denver or anywhere in Colorado (anywhere really), and they each have a unique story to tell, but the reality of it is that these men are really pretending to be someone who they are not. Why? I have no idea, but unfortunately I have fallen victim to this 3 or 4 times in the last 2 months.
They will not divulge very little information about themselves; they usually tell a story of living abroad but then moving and working out of the area; their e-mails are usually over the top; if you get a phone number and try to call, it's no longer in service; they only want to e-mail (offsite) and after e-mailing them for several weeks, if I (or a woman) suggest about finally meeting, all of a sudden they have to leave immediately (for their job) for a destination out of the country; or while abroad, they find themselves in a financial mess and request that I send them money to help them out. It's all a big scam.
I don't think that Chemistry should open its site for free to anyone. Also, another problem is that you cannot tell when someone has read/opened their emails. That is a bit frustrating. Oh... another thing. This has recently been going on. I get an message from a man, but it's actually from a woman who is writing on behalf of a man wanting to meet me. C'mon. I am on also on Match.com and have not run into any of these problems.

I have had the same problems as the other consumers on this site. In addition, I've been harassed by one particular man who has somehow figured how to create several false accounts. These men send me an "I'm Interested" message and an email. The first time it happened, I alerted Chemistry.com and they shut down the site of that profile.
Since then, it has occurred twice more, but in each of these cases the person's profile is gone when I return and try to place a concern. I'm disgusted. Unfortunately, there are some very nice people on this site whom I would like to meet, but I don't have the time to weed through all the false emails to get to them, and now I am afraid that someone is purposely tracking me. In fact, just now I opened my gmail, trying to find my account number for this communication and found I'd gotten a 4th harassing email.

I joined on a 'free' weekend on a Friday night - of course the account I set up wasn't 'approved' till the Monday... which means that no contact or 'openness' of the account was available. So I actually got a pre-paid card so I could try it for one month. I check my account twice a day - once in the morning, once in the evenings... so I have gotten to 'know' the pictures, the profiles, etc. And I find that every 2-3 days the pictures change to a new profile - but always the same type of pictures. And always the same type of profiles. I also get 7-15 messages from the site a DAY stating that member : "text me [insert some phone number to call] : is interested... of course I did complain to the site managers but got a generic comment ending with, 'sorry for the inconvenience'.
Additionally, when I receive in-site 'emails' - its always the same format with the wording - no punctuation, words missing, and ALWAYS ending with I am leaving the site soon so email me at... blah blah... or call me at... blah blah.... And there has been a couple that include a web address to go to... of course my virus scanner/firewall put up BIG RED flags... and when I reported it, well just say I have seen the party still on. It apparently seems to be a way for the site personnel to scam people or what ever it is they are doing. I am NOT a prejudice person and hold no judgments, but one can tell 100% that the 'emails' that one gets from supposed 'interested' parties, are definitely written (then translated) from a foreign company.
I have been with the site for roughly a month - and will be closing my account and although I check the site out daily, I have yet found a REAL person to talk with - a 'real' match of any sort. I have seen on a few profile that the guys have been 'hit' with tons of foreign women looking for a way into the US - of some other 'professional' means of contact. I have set up a block of personality and personal types that I like or would be interested in - however, everyone of the 'Matches' seem to be anything BUT what I have selected. Although the rate is a little less then $30 a month, I feel that the site is anything but a dating site... and honestly, should be investigated. Tried to 'add' my receipt but the site will not take the file it is in =(

After being on this website for two weeks, I was contacted by men who appeared to be interested in pursuing a relationship with me. They immediately want you to email or text them. The # is not even associated to the city they claim to live in or be from. They give you these bogus stories about having a child who lives in another country, having a wife who has died or they are a soldier in the Army on assignment. I have not found the first genuine man on this website. Every one of them appear to be scammers. You don't know who is real and who is not real. Where are these scammers getting all these pictures of people who appear to be real people? My advice is to never send your photos to these people because they are using your pictures to create profiles on websites to scam other unsuspecting people. Nothing seems to be sacred anymore.
I want my money back from Chemistry.com! They know they have a website full of scammers because they will NOT give you the option of stating why you are truly leaving their website; they give their responses they want you to choose from. There is no "I'm leaving because there are too many damn scammers on here" option which there should be. How can we stop this from happening? In a world full of advanced technology, we should be able to catch these crooks and lock'em up or work with their countries to stop them.
I also advise paying for subscriptions like "BeenVerified.com" and "PeopleVerified.com" because you can do your own investigative search w/ the information these scammers give you. If it comes up blank and not show a listing for a real person, you'll know they aren't legit. These sites have also showed me how accessible your own personal information is available to others if they only have a membership and some simple information about you. How can I have my information unlisted so it is not so accessible to the common crook?

Chemistry.com is owned by Match.com or at least it was several years ago. Chemistry.com has gone from an ok matchmaking platform to one of the "worst" places online for matchmaking. Assuming any "real" matchmaking is actually going on. I can guarantee you 100% that within 10-30 minutes of logging into your account you will receive "at least" 1 wink or some other communication indicating someone is taking note of you. This will happen 100% every time you login to Chemistry.com. Every time. A sudden influx of supposed members seeking your attention just as you arrive on the scene.
Chemistry.com has made no effort at all to deal with the spam communications on their website and I feel very comfortable in saying Chemistry.com is complicit and involved in the spam itself as a way to get you to become a member. Even after becoming a member the user experience is soo bad due to the constant barrage of fake emails it's just a waste of your time bothering. At the very least, Chemistry.com seem to maintain no member level controls which might help make it more difficult for spammers to operate. I still believe Chemistry.com is behind most if not all the spamming as the majority of it links back to no account found which wouldn't occur if it were a real profile/member.
Chemistry.com is directly responsible for its own website, the user experience and value it offers to those who choose to become a paid membership. Chemistry.com has seemingly chosen the path of not taking any action which might correct the above issues regardless of feedback. Chemistry.com made live a streaming page in 2014. It essentially enables anybody including spammers the ability to identify exactly when you come online. They enable anyone, including spammers to send unlimited winks etc. at the click of a button. Essentially all the tools spammers would ever need are now available in one place, Chemistry.com. No controls or limitations which might make things a bit more difficult to create or fake spam content/communications.
Chemistry.com does not offer any meaningful value!! Stay well away from! As for being owned by Match.com this is very troubling news but currently I'm still a Match.com member and currently Match.com does offer some value.

I complained to Chemistry.com that they are an accessory and beneficiary of the scammer, but they just wished me luck with my search.
And then during the past week, I kept getting winks from women who were obviously scammers. The site is so overrun by scammers, it was getting difficult to determine who was real.

This is not an exaggeration. > 90% of the profiles received on the site are from scammers. They are easy to recognize because they use scammer-grammar. If you ask them where they're from, they make up a story about why they spent time out of the country. They email you and immediately want to get off the site, so they give their private email address. They say they've read your profile, but never say anything specific about it. They want you to tell them all about yourself, even if you've already put it in your profile. Their profile often will say something vague under occupation, like engineering or government. They're almost always "widowed." The kicker for me is that they all say they're honest and are seeking the same.

They are always attractive and very romantic and poor woman fall for it then they start with the money stuff. They are stuck in a country and so on. I didn't get that far because they to me are easy to spot. They dive into the baby and I think I love you stuff way too soon for American men and they mess up on the language. Our language isn't easy to write. You ask for pic and all of a sudden they can't send it. They might say to go on web cam which if you do you don't see them and again with an excuse but it mean your computer has been hacked. Chemistry should be sued and I want money back from them. They are horrible.

While a member of Chemistry.com I began to receive messages in my personal email from people like "Hit me" or "Text Me" that included phone numbers. This began to happen on a daily basis. Usually they were sending "winks". When I checked my account these people were not listed. I complained to Chemistry.com and was told that sometimes these people "slip between the cracks" of their security. They did not propose to investigate the individuals. I ask to have my information deleted from their website and my money refunded. They did delete my profile, but refused to refund my money. I had paid for 6 months and only used 3. This constitutes a rip off in my mind.

Same complaint as another reviewer. I just joined the site 2 days ago and then my account was terminated saying it is in the best interests of the community. I haven't done anything or sent any inappropriate messages.

I had three men try to get close to me then try to scam money from me... It all starts out the same way. They get your email or phone. They start texting and calling in a couple of days. They are talking about love and a future together. They use good stories. They all have wives that die and a kid that is somewhere else in another country or state, but you will never meet them. When you insist all of a sudden they have to leave the country. Little by little they try to get your trust then try to get money. Beware, beware.

I have been on Chemistry.com since Jan 7, 2015. My total count of hustlers to date is 34. My total count of contact with legitimate people is 0. I am getting real good at spotting them since the real contacts is 0, but I talk with them and learn their tricks. So far I am out of money. I inquired to Chemistry.com if they had any real people on there and they said they do their best to screen. The screening process is not the issue, all 34 passed my initial screening process. 2 have even passed several weeks of email and chat.
What I did notice is every time I change my profile, I get bombarded with Winks and email, that tells me someone has a script running that thinks I am a new member. The site needs to close their backend or get a longer skirt you can't see up. All in all it has been a learning experience, and I am the lucky one that has not gotten bitten yet. I have cancelled my membership and would not re-join this site for all the free access in the world. Lesson here, never send money to people you have never met, no matter the sob story.

I am really disappointed with this site. I signed for a 14 days free trial. After a week of managing the account with no problem...suddenly I was not able to log in with my email or user name that is required. I contacted chemistry.com via email about this issue but I did not get any response back. I know something was wrong. I emailed from different email address and I got this response...
"We are still unable to locate your recent account based on the email address that you have provided to us, this would indicate that your account may have been compromised and I do sincerely apologize if this has happened. Please contact our billing support line at 1-866-610-6338, from 8 am to 5 pm Central time daily. Our representatives would be happy to assist. I do want to assure you that your credit card information is safe on our site and would not have been accessed by a hacker. Also, once we locate your account, we will issue you a full refund if it was hijacked. (It is possible our security team has already closed the account and issued a refund.)"
I called the support line to ask about it. They didn't give me any explanation and told me that I should read some tips to avoid this on the site. It is the first time I experience this with a dating site. Be aware.

I signed up as I thought Chemistry.com was a legitimate site. I would definitely say not now! I have in 2 days received 14 winks from women in their 30's and I'm 60. Come on, give me a break people! Curiosity made me text 2 of them, and one I get this little picture of this girl who looks 20 and she says her name is Mary ** from New Jersey and is 30 years old, while the email I received from Chemistry.com showed the user was 32 and from Grand Forks, ND. Obviously scam material.
The other one I contacted ** came on real strong about wanting a relationship, and I told her I wanted to know something about her and she just kept sending text msgs like this "and thus were you come in and we get to know each other and is simple us that but if you act rude towards me how can we get to know each other..Behave like a gentle man and i know you have that in you..how can you be happy with a woman if you act like this and much less woman should be the last person you would treat like that." That is verbatim!
When I ask her for her profile, she said she deleted it, then immediately after texts this : "My name is Salomey 26 years of age have a curvy body and i am african american single with no kids lost my dad i am liviing with my mum who owns a restaurant and i do help her..and i am a caterer." Verbatim.
I tell her I am 60, and she's 26, and that's not a healthy relationship to get into, and she responds, "that is were you go wrong what i do know is age thus not matter to me at all..what happens is being happy with the person you love and want and together you live like great couple like never before...happiness and love is what we all lack in this world..care for me to give you a call" Scam is written over this all over!!! She then calls and of course I didn't answer, but that number was a totally different # than the number I was texting to.
Both of these people I told to send me a picture with the 5 fingers of their right hand next to their face as I knew if they were legit. I'd never see the pictures, and of course their cameras were now broke!
I'm incredibly disappointed with Match.com and chemistry.com that they let this kind of scam behavior go on their sites. A great disservice to people looking to legitimately meet others. I cancelled within the 3 day test period so I will get my 6 month payment back, and also contacted the credit card company and filed a fraud complaint with them that chemistry.com is a fraud, given my experience.

Had a woman (I wonder?) named Millicent ** who sent me a message thru Chemistry.com, which I never officially joined, to text her at **. I did and I find out the number is a Billings, Montana area code, but she is actually in Ghana supposedly studying to be a nurse??? She told me she was financially stable, but after a few more emails I get a text that she has malaria and doesn't have enough money to pay for the medicine and the hospital care! She even called me too but as usual you can't hear her clearly with all the background noise! As it always is when you're being scammed! It started with asking or begging for a few Hundred Dollars and would have gotten request for more as time goes by! BEWARE!!! Don't Ever! EVER! EVER! Give them or Wire them Money!!!!!! PERIOD!!!!
