Christian Mingle

I joined Christian Mingle 3 days ago! I signed up for the three month subscription and thought that would give me time to search and hopefully meet some interesting people. First, I live near a large urban area, but when I searched within 100 miles there were No Matches available. My search criteria was open and it had to be extended to 500+ miles to get any matches. At that point I started getting the “smiles” and a few messages. I did respond to one message and we started texting. It was a good conversation. I fell for the “my subscription is going to expire can I have your number?” At that point the whole feel and tone of the writing changed. First red flag was when he started asking questions that we discussed earlier. Second red flag was when he sent pictures and it was a different person than the profile picture! He asked for my pictures, and if he was the person on the profile page he would have seen my pictures.

I just paid for a one month subscription with CM yesterday. I’ve had so many fake profiles send me a ‘smile’. They have no picture or real name. Then I also received smiles from profiles with an actual picture and name. Only when I’ve spoken with three of them, they don’t write well or spell well even though their profiles say they are educated men. When I questioned one of them about this, he said it’s because he finds it difficult typing on a phone. Once I said it’s not difficult typing on a phone, it seems he blocked me. The other two immediately asked for my phone number, and when I said I’d rather message on the site for a while, they never responded back again. I’m going to request a refund, and if I’m not granted one, I will write bad reviews everywhere I can about this dating site.

CM is quickly getting a bad name!! I signed up for 1 month and I seem to be the ‘customer service’ person. I get 25-30 fake profiles called “Mingler aa1A” or something close to this every single day. Thank God I am no fool for falling for this nonsense. But it’s disheartening that so many people have to resort to this activity. I’ve complained 5 different times to Sparks Publishers about it with zero response. 95% of all dating sites are owned now by a single parent company and they have no interest to change their business practices until they are shut down. The same company owns approx 40% of all porn sites too. Very sad statement!!!

Headline: I messaged Christian Mingle customer service twice and I never heard back, never received a refund, and felt I needed to cancel my profile after only two weeks of service. I paid for three months. I signed for the free service at first and after a couple of weeks decided to go for it because there was a special sent to my email. When I signed up it said they would take my information from Facebook. I didn't think anything of it so I agreed. When guys starting sending me smiles and I smiled back, they immediately starting asking for my phone number, then my email address, and they asked where I lived.

I went on CM and it was not a very good experience as I tried to permanently delete my profile and didn't even get an email message about my deletion and no one responded to me and I don't think I am terrible looking. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess but, the profiles seem to be fake.

In recent years, CM has become a site full of scammers/fake profiles. It is a complete waste of money and I'd be amazed if you find any real men actually on this site. They need a better way to filter out all the fake profiles and to only have legitimate members on this site. It was a good site way back in 2005-2010, but in recent years, they make no effort to filter out scammers. In my recent membership, I received 10-20 scammer 'smiles' a day. In a 3-month membership, I only came across one guy who was not a scammer, but he was a creep. Save your money!

Although I am not a highly technologically savvy individual and may not understand how this seems to be happening more and more in the world of dating sites I was absolutely astonished at my experience with Christian Mingle. I signed up and created my profile and within 4 days I had received over 100 contacts and emails, unfortunately not a single one was legitimate. People, please be wary of the emails coming in stating such things as, my brother or my father or my friend saw your profile but does not want to join the site but he is a wonderful man and it would benefit you to contact him at (text or email).

I have been on this site for less than a month and already approached 4 times with a scam. The storyline is the same in each case. I reported them but still haven't received a response. Once someone nice looking sent me a smile and I sent one back and then within a few hours the person disappeared from my mail. Maybe they decided not to try out Christian Mingle but it all seems so strange. I've read other profiles where people said flat out that Christian Mingle is full of fake profiles. It's sad because many years ago it wasn't like this. I actually met someone through this website and it was legit. We dated for four years but ended up not working out. Just beware of this website. I wouldn't waste my money here. Thank God I only paid for one month.

It’s simple to make a page for yourself. Easy to navigate and find matches in your area (or more distance if you prefer). I myself made a search within 100 miles and I found the guy whom I am still married to today! But think there are good quality and genuine people to meet in this website.

The profiles are fake. The last person told me they are in Ghana taking care of their mother. The local profiles are few and probably fake. Most of the people that contact me are from out of state even though I selected to only look for people from within 25 miles from me. Very fishy site.
