Christian Mingle

Problems:

Here's how it went...This past March, after breaking up with a decent woman who is now my friend, I was browsing the Internet and decided to use a dating website again. Mind you I had bad experiences with Match and eHarmony in the past. I figured I would give C.M. a chance because I have faith and I want to have at least one kid in the future and of course a long-term relationship.

First off, the servers seem to be physically set in Germany, where the site owners are, because the response time is exceptionally slow. Very frustrating. Worse, there are more scammers and fake profiles than on any site I've been on; I think it's probably because scammers perceive Christians as easy prey. You can detect them by the language skills, the canned answers (or lack of appropriate answers) to questions, but it doesn't really matter, they're still not real. And most frustrating, they keep profiles up long after the member, real or fake, has gone.

I joined on a Monday in May of 2022, I immediately was inundated men who were WIDOWED, no family, higher education, and willing to relocate. It was obvious most inquiries were canned, prewritten, and sickeningly sweet. Very Godly responses as well. I have wasted my hard-earned money. STAY AWAY! Also, the remaining profiles were OLD, with the user not having logged in for months.

I joined Christian Mingle to find worthwhile, quality people to date. However within two to three days of being in the app, I realized most of the people contacting me were scammers. Of the people I interacted with, I estimate 60% are not real. I asked Christian Mingle to deactivate my account after the 3rd day as it was too stressful to weed through all the scammers. I didn’t bother asking for a refund. If you decide to go for it, beware.

My Experience with Christian Mingle is horrible. Paying Customers are assured that they can initiate conversations with anyone on their site. As soon as a Paying Customer initiates a Conversation with a non-paying User, Christian Mingle Customer Care goes ahead and disables the visitor's account so that communication can no longer continue. They use the pretense of "Suspicious Activities" all because a paying customer decided to speak with a new Visitor that is still assessing if they want to add more options to their membership. Once your account is disabled, Christian Mingle proceeds to send emails stating your account was involved in fraudulent Activities, that items were purchased under your name, and that moneys have been refunded". Then they proceed to ask you more information that what is required to join the site such as Full Name, Address, DOB, and a Foto ID under the pretense of fraudulent activities.

This is a site that does not let you pay as you go but charges annual fee all at once. There is a reason that companies do that. They know once you find out they are a scam company you would cancel membership if it was month to month. This Company has extremely OLD profiles of people that are no longer in the community. Secondly, they control how many candidates you are allowed to see per day. Also, you will see the same profile like 3 to 4 times because they recycle old profile pics. This is a GARBAGE site!

Christian Mingle is a scam site. The members are not real people, they will never pick up the phone and reveal themselves to be a real person and basically if you want to waste your money on delusion...

I went to this site because finding a relationship with a fellow Christian is primary to me. Roughly 90% of those contacting me were from 500+ miles away - HUGE red flag. Most people want to find someone near them, so I don't believe these were legitimate profiles. What a waste of money!

I experienced a major financial setback after joining and requested a refund. It was denied for no reason. Additionally, the matches were horrible. I had several messages from scammers. I DO NOT recommend this app!
