Christian Mingle Reviews

9 out of 10 people I contacted were just fishing. The one who is not, I am just beginning conversation with. We will see. There is an online view in the app. There are people in this view who haven't logged on for weeks according to their profile. When it originally came out this was a decent site. Now it is a waste of time. Too much garbage to sort through.

I have tried several dating websites, and this is one of the worst ones I have tried. The website is slow and clunky. It is difficult to navigate, when you try to reply to matches it is so slow and cannot keep up in real time, and you have to randomly go to another tab instead of clocking on the person's photo of who liked you. The worst part is the subscription and customer service. I've tried numerous times to get them to help me in cancelling the subscription and deleting. I've cancelled it, and yet, the website still won't let me delete because it thinks I have an "active renewing subscription". This website is scary honestly and a bit scammy. We should never not have an option to delete a profile from a website like this. It is clear that their technology is lacking and this is a poor attempt at "Christian dating website".

The platform that they use is horrible. Every time I go to scroll down while the phone is in my normal vertical position it opens whatever profile I’m trying to scroll past. I had to turn my phone horizontal to start the scrolling. Super expensive I think for the trouble. And I just went to look at my pictures I uploaded under the edit button. And when I started to scroll down poof the pics deleted. Definitely not a good site to navigate without frustration. Last thing is under the mailbox icon you can archive likes/correspondences when I want to delete a like I sent days ago with no reply. Try Match or Tinder instead. Better to weed out non-Christians on their site. Plus not a huge local base of Christians and to top it off I had a male show up in my preferences!

Also got scammed by Sumone from Christian Mingle. As a devout Christian I was hoping this site would allow me to link up with a solid Christian women, but after a three month subscription I cancelled. I had to involve apex chargeback to track and recover my valuables from the scammer. GIad the fraudster was caught.

Danger, not recommended. Not safe site, fake profiles. First month of use received email that contact from another person was removed due to warnings about them. Their authentication system blocked me out many times and I could not access the website. When I asked them to correct it they would not. They just told me to reset my password which worked for one time and then their authentication system block me out again repeatedly after I used it and it wouldn’t let me in still. I asked for a refund and they refused. Asked for refund due to unsafe experience and was refused by company. Others looked fake and not removed. Legit contacts were not revealing accurate career. Tons of misrepresentation not befitting Christian morals.

I am not at all happy with this site. I never give reviews but in this case I don’t want another person to waste their money. I found multiple fake profiles on this site. I took a screenshot of a woman with two profiles and two different cities. Other generic profiles I’ve found has one picture of some tiny woman and in the height says 7’1”. This really ticks me off. Oh and management or whoever I don’t need a generic email saying how you’re sorry I had this experience. Spare me. Keep the money for whatever corrupt scams you are running, you will probably need it In the future. You wanna do something for me take the name Christ out of the name of your scam. Please brothers and sisters don’t use this site.

I joined and paid and then my profile was flagged as possibly scam... So they deleted it after one or two days and then did not refund me. They were rude in their emails back. They told me to go to Apple to get my money back.

They attracted me by showing me over 50 in my area. But you couldn't contact them until signed up. Once signed up, no refunds! Those 50 men were no longer online for several months! THIS IS A SCAM OF A DATING APP!! Not recommended!

Worst website - difficult to use and very few users. I live in Florida and I guess there are no single men here - lol. The website continually doesn't work and when I search there are 4-5 men that are within 100 miles of Tampa. And many of them aren't actual active members. They don't take their information off when they are no longer members. You find out when you try to communicate that they are no longer a member. I expect better from a "Christian" organization. Or is this really just a money making market ploy.... Match and OurTime are so much better!

Most of the women are hundreds if not thousands of miles away. Haven’t been on the site for weeks or months. Don’t waste your money or your time. It’s a total scam. Save your money, go to the gym. Find your partner, the old fashion way.

I've had five women who struck my interest. All five were scammers who wanted money from me. The first two conned me completely, but I didn't give money to them. The last three gave away their plan to me with intense questioning. But it was all a huge waste of time -- especially spending weeks on communicating with the first two. This site does an absolutely horrible job at filtering out con artists. Total waste of money.

I signed up to Christian Mingle for 1 month. The vast majority of people contacting me are hundreds or thousands of miles away. Hiding behind distance is a scammer trick. But what is unacceptable are all the dead profiles. I have screenshots of profiles that have not had a login since 2021. Some have not logged in, in a year, or a year and a half. This practice of presenting profiles that are no longer active, or as I suspect, people who are not even members anymore, is clearly dishonest. Bait and Switch. These people who run this "Christian" dating site are not honest people.

I have never connected anyone on there. It's so strict on profile summary and so hard to log in and so hard to navigate. There is absolutely no meaningful usage from this company/website without paying.

Two weeks into a 6 month paid subscription (if you still join, recommend paying for the shortest period first), it became clear that trying to find a match would be close to impossible. You are not able to screen who sees you based on your preferences. You end up with messages from people from all over the country and it is a four step process to figure out who they are, that they do not meet many, if any, of your preferences and to finally block or archive them. Time draining. The matches they give you based on % match against preferences still does not take into account that the person who has matched with you has no interest in your age group or distance from you or them. It was a complete waste of time and money. Also, Christian Mingle acknowledges all of the shortcomings and has no regrets about them. Their response was summarily "too bad."

No local people to meet. Gave me matches all over the country. Turns out the man I was texting was a scammer. Thankfully I suspected it but need to be careful and check out info. Even then they can be great at deceiving.

Christian Mingle is filled with scammers/fake profiles. You cannot trust who you are talking to. The pictures and profiles are from women, but the person behind the pictures and profile is not who is represented. I would save your money. I canceled my subscription after one month because it became very discouraging to get messages from fakes trying to luring me into a conversation that was nothing more than a waste of my time. I complain about this to Christian Mingle and they told me there is nothing they can do about it. I find that hard to believe. It is your choice, but from experience I would save your money and find another site.

Just joined last week. 99 percent of people here are scammers. Very few real men and all of those are on the opposite side of the country. Don’t waste your money. You spend more time clearing fakes than talking to anyone real.

At least 8 out 10 were not who they said they were. Honestly!! No one is local. If they were supposedly in their area and you lived there, then they just moved. Lol SMH. If you are in town they had to leave for a few weeks. NO WAY TO ACTUALLY HAVE A CELL TEXT OR PHONE CALL WITH MOST OF THEM. I hace had at least 50 contacts in one week. Not even 1 phone contact SMH. Google Chat is their love I have found out. SHAMEFUL. EVEN IMPLICIT SEX OFFERS!!! This is not a Christian site and if owned by Christians it is only for profit. Embarrassing!!! One other scam. And it is easily googled, is the “I am in the military out of the country scam“. And CM can’t control this!!! If there is a hell….and this is extremely frustrating. Bombarded by fake girls. Today. Two pics on same page with a girl with different name. Oops! To represent Christians this way means they should be shut down. Imo.

I subscribed to Christian Mingle and then they said I canceled. I DID NOT. I had paid for three months. They now want me to subscribe (again) to see my messages. I contacted them many times to complain. THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED.

I am a widow and after 2 years decided to step out and use this site because of the Christian affiliation. This was all new to me. I got on the site and checked it out and decided to pay for one month. I was on the site for one week. There were only a couple profiles I had interest in. I started a conversation with a man and listened to his story but never really felt it was the direction to go. I shared this with him, but it was not received well. I went back to the dating app and decided to respond to another person who had reached out to me. After a few days something did not seem right. The end result was both profiles were made by the same person. Different pictures, different contact information, it was unsettling. I am new to all this, so I have a lot to learn but I deactivated my account and will never go back on that site again. This was not a Christian encounter. Be careful ladies.

I joined the site and they denied my picture, then I complained to them and they accepted the picture. After they accepted the picture I purchased a 3-month subscription. After I purchased the three months subscription they denied the picture again, and I did not have any access to communicating with anyone. So after I purchased the subscription I actually had less access than I did before and my picture was removed. We went back and forth several times and I told them that the picture was already approved. I was so disgusted I told them just to cancel my subscription. They refused to refund my money and I had to go through another process to get a refund from the card company. Don't trust these scammers if they treat people like this there's no way you're going to get a legitimate chance at finding a good person with these crooks manipulating things. Just go to a different dating site and don't waste your time there. These people are mentally ill.

So bad! In the match profile they sent me today there were people who last logged in 2, 3, 6,10 and 11 months ago!! Nobody earlier than 2 months ago! 11 months is ridiculous. I just started my account a couple days ago. I called to see if my settings are off because all the people I see are old profiles. They told me to widen my distance that I was searching in. I'm set to 50 miles!! I'm in Phoenix. That's all the have to offer I guess....$54 wasted. What more can I say?

I signed up to this service and the only option was for 3 months. They advertise a large network of Christian people to meet. Within 10 minutes of signing up, I realized that there were very few people to meet in my town and wrote to the company asking for 2 of the 3 months refunded as I would not be using the site. They replied and assured me that they would stop my subscription (confirmed via email) and only charge for a month. 4 months later they took off $49 per month and an extra $149 per month that I did not authorize. I am struggling to get my money back and warn anyone that the service they promise actually does not exist (maybe in America it does but not in Australia (Perth) to be specific). I am so disappointed. As a single parent - the money they have taken is my grocery money for 3 months. Hopefully my bank can intervene on my behalf and get my money back.

Christian Mingle should be called Scammers Mingle, I don't understand how this company is allowed to still be in business. Their website is very poor function and every profiles there is a fake, please don't waste your money with this site unless you are in the fraud business.

This company does not acknowledge when you cancel your auto-renewal! The company just stole over $100 out of my checking account and disregarded my cancellation of my auto-renewal! I demanded it back, and told them to delete my account and profile! I have never seen such a site that sends out so many bots in my life! When you report a profile as a scam there is no response! The biggest waste of my money ever!! For all who have been scammed from this site I hope you tell others about your crappy experience and it shuts the site down!

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!

I have never seen soooo many scammers, fake people in all my decades on the Internet! The want you to give them your phone # and email address on day #1 so they can get you off the site and scam you. I used Google lens to ID several of the scammers and reported them. They were not removed from the website, only blocked on my profile. This is a very unethical business that should be avoided at all costs. The service is not worth it even if it is FREE! You'd have to pay me to actually use their service.

I think most of the people leaving bad reviews are older people who just don't understand how the site works or how to work the site and their preferences on the site. For example all the complaints about people called mingler with numbers in the names and no pictures. This is something the site does automatically with all new standard members. Until you upgrade your account, IE pay extra money, they assign you a mingler name they make up for you, like mingler ou412 or something like that, and it takes them several days or longer to approve your photos. It's not that these people did not put photos up, they are just not approved yet. In fact it's more likely that these are the real people just trying to see if they like the site before spending all that money for the upgrades and full membership.

Every single person matched were scammers. They were patterns of responses. Initial bios sounded good then long identical scripted follow ups with different names inserted. Also from other countries, widowed and no family. Always first time on the site. Hurry up and give your cell number or email. Then their bios vanish if they get it. I guess what bites me the most is they target faith women who are caregivers and misuse God's word. And in one week I’ve had most of it unable to access my account. It kicks me back to the site wanting me to register as a new user. Beware.

I was very unsure about going on a dating app but I was very happy with Christian Mingle. This site was very easy to sign up with and almost immediately I got matches in my area. I have met with a couple of my matches and they were very enjoyable meetings. I will keep trying this app.

Way too much hypocrisy. I signed up for this seven years ago and the process was very tedious and didn't feel very secure. I imagine things have changed since then but I doubt that human nature has changed, so lots of skin and non-Christian pictures probably still populate most of the members' profiles.

Bad men, thinking only for sex and benefits from women, no comments more. They are not good educated, have not job or good income and first asking for money for example to pay dental services for him...

Quite the rip off. Gives you choices from far away that say they are only interested in local dating. Also not vetted well and many scam artist on the site. Difficult to cancel membership and received a very hard time about it. WASTED MONEY.

I subscribed roughly 2.5 weeks ago. In that time, I have been presented with 85% profiles without photos or information that is pertinent; the remaining profiles which have come with information, have led to several scammers, catfishers and/or computers. Very disappointing when you think by choosing "Christian" you might find real people who would like to chat or correspond.

I was excited to join, hoping I would find someone to care about friendship to possibly love and marriage! So I signed up for six months, if nothing happened during this time, I would not join again and if I found someone I would not join again! I was so excited my texts were blowing up the phone, I thought all these people were sending me smiles! So I started to text back, getting to know these guys, there were a few I really hit it off with, I kept investing my time and energy in the conversations by texting, then in all of the guys I liked, thing were starting not to add up as to numbers, the way they wrote, some guys wrote, like other guys I was communicating with, so I started investigating on my own and when I confronted them, suddenly they vanished offline!

I got an email that someone was interested in my profile. When I tried to log in I couldn't. Fact, my profile and stats are real (Male, 67, seeking a relationship from 60-70, basic not the whole profile). Here's the message CM sent me. "Your ChristianMingle profile has been suspended due to suspicion of fraud." So I wrote this email question to them: "What did I do to be suspected of fraud? I blocked those who smiled at me but were totally outside of their profile description. When I see someone who's 32 and states they want to meet someone from the age of 45-75 or that they're in a different state and don't want to date within 100-500 miles, I'm not interested. I'm also not interested in an email romance, so I block that person so I won't waste my time or theirs. So could you please tell me why you're suspending my account? If someone there wants to call me I can be reached at ###-###-####. Thank You."

This is the WORST dating site I have ever checked out. They don't adhere to preferred search criteria, most of the matches are fake profiles & attempting to scam you. Most matches DO NOT have photos!! The website is clumsy, freezes & is difficult to use. After a few days of being scammed & harassed, I requested a refund. Nope... they got my $$ and they are satisfied. There are far better sites, less $$ & friendly. Don't waste your time & $$ like I did.

Christian Mingle is the best Heartbreaking Scam EVER, 6 Days later it's nothing more than a Big lie. Totally FAKE, don’t Waste a penny, It’s a total Lie With nothing more than SCAMMERS, The people that are returning your messages are not people looking to date.

I signed up four days ago and my site hasn’t worked at all. You can’t get anyone to help you. The customer service number doesn’t work. The last time I ever sign up for anything without checking reviews first. I just got scammed out of 50.00. Please learn from mine and as I’m reading on here a lot of other people's mistake. DONT!!!!

This site isn't even the LEAST bit worth it. The features you "unlock" for the price -- which are very basic -- are not worth paying $50/mo for the service ($25/mo if you pay every 6-months). That's absolutely INSANE! Whoever is running this racket is ridiculous. 100% garbage; don't waste your time.

They are not connecting any singles, they are just connecting our money with their wallets. Absolutely unscrupulous management use all kinds of methods and tricks to string along the unsuspecting men. Make sure they don’t put you on auto subscription. I can not recommend Christianmingle.com - I lost so much time and money with it, while I was that unsuspecting client! Don’t fall victim to their fraud!

So as a Christian whose faith is important, I thought I would remove some of the leg work in dating by using a "Christian" website. Well first off, every single day, every single person will get tons of "someone sent you a message" so you go to look at it and it says "mingler sent you a smile". It took a bit of research but what I found out is that these were "people" without profiles, simply a login ID and they refuse to pay for membership and all they can do is send a smile. A bit more research and it seems the only way for these accounts to send messages if someone pays for the ugraded membership that allows people without memberships to message them, continuing on this path, I found hundreds of complaints from people who got these messages from "minglers" and in the end the person on the other end attempted to scam them for money.

This site is jam packed with scammers and there is no way to limit them. Numerous requests to Christian mingle for help eliminating the scammers ended up unresolved. It is the subscribers responsibility to browse carefully. But do beware, immediately after enrolling I was bombarded with people name "mingler" followed by 4 numbers/letters and most times there is no picture. If this is the case you can be 99% certain it's going to be a scammer. I even requested pictures from them and one idiot sent me 2 pictures of herself. one had brown eyes and one had blue eyes. got to be one of the dumbest scammers out there. I realize all sites end up with their share of unscrupulous people, but compared to say match.com or our time or e harmony, Christian mingle has cornered the market on these morons. do yourself a favor if you are thinking about joining a dating site. spend your money on match.com or eharmony.com.

Within 48 hours of joining, nearly a hundred scammers sent messages saying they have a "friend" who is interested in my profile and I can send an email or text a phone number they have provided. Or, I cannot count how many "men" state they are widowed and lost a wife and are looking for love one last time. The profile contains nearly no grammatical errors, and the messages are all written by someone who does not have a command of the English language. When I inquire as to which country they are messaging me from, I am almost instantly blocked. This was a complete waste of time, having to delete smiles from profiles containing no user name and no viable information. Went to another site and have yet to be scammed in the past 72 hours. Just having good convos, which is as one would hope for it to be.

I will only reiterate what others have said. This website is a great reminder to always check reviews before making any commitment. The amount of catfish spam you get when online is unbelievable. It appears that scammers have access to the database and can manage accounts in mass. If not that, when a membership cost 50$ for a month I would think that this money could be invested in getting this under control or changing the experience to discourage scams. I'm a web developer, in it's current model it encourages fraudulent activity. But as reviews from the past show this is not a priority.

I recently signed up for 6 months and I started getting several smile signs from a bunch of photo-less and name-less people. I am also getting fraudulent people requesting me to contact via text a 'supposed friend' that liked my profile. Christian Mingle should notify their subscribers to be aware about this potential threat and monitor their site better. I am planning to unsubscribe before the end of my 6 months.

The sites don't advertise a 50 mile radius! I've tried several dating sites and realized that the money is in keeping me looking. It's hard enough trying to meet and develop a relationship with someone within 20 miles. Throw 50 miles in, and I'm shutting down. I live in NY, and the odds that I'm trying to date someone in PA, CT or NJ are slim to zero. Of course, you don't get the 50 mile radius information until AFTER you give all your personal information, and take all the personality tests!

This was the worst experience I could have imagined. Two years after my husband died, I felt like I was ready to reconnect with someone. My daughter said that most people meet online, and she helped me get on Christian Mingle. I can say that in the nearly 2 months I was on, I only communicated with one legitimate person. It took me a couple of weeks to change my settings to see more than two people. When I contacted the help desk, I did not think I received an answer; however, all their responses went into my spam folder. This should have been a major red flag.

Went on Christian mingle for 1st time. 2 within my parameters and no liked matches. All the rest were in states far way. 1 person liked Thomas from NC. Talked on site email until he convinced me to write him at his personal email. I was so tired of receiving likes from men way out of the parameters I set up, so I did contact him. (A non-no.) He was in love with me within 3 days and had plans to visit me after his last contract was accepted. He said beautiful words to me and I looked them up on net and found them there. I asked him for his home address. He said I hurt him. That our love should be trusting. He finally gave it to me and still could not find this thomas. Nothing but a public meeting many years before he came from Germany. I asked about the date in his mail address and he said it was when his mother died which happened to be 2 yrs before he was born.

There is so many fake profile emails on this site that you get in your email. There are not many good matches in my area and I live in a big city. It is expensive. You can not even see smiles without paying. They will not let you hide or snooze your profile if you meet someone. You have to cancel your account and lose your remaining paid for time. This makes no sense on a Christian site when you want to be honorable if you meet someone. You should be able to snooze your remaining time.

Either the service has been hacked or as someone said in a previous review, the fake contacts are in-house. Whenever I got on, someone knew, and I start getting a bunch of smiles, obviously not from real people because they had mostly numbers in their names. A good anti-hacking system should have prevented this. I also got a large number of "people" sending me information about their supposed friend who saw my amazing profile and just had to meet me, but not joining himself, of course.

How do you properly vet if the people subscribed is really a Christian? I really believe that if you have to pay for a subscription, then the company should at least provide some form of vetting (a background check/credit check) a form of verifiable information of his/her church affiliation....something.

This is the second time in 2 years I got a membership to this dating site. As many of the other reviewers have stated, there are no men in my immediate area and no one sends me a message UNTIL I sign on to my account. Then, they come in like a flood, from everywhere but my home state. Same vernacular, same scam tactics; very, very sad. This is far from being a CHRISTIAN dating site! It seems that the scammers, like cockroaches, are drawn to this site because they're looking for the vulnerable and more forgiving of us, thinking we're easier to scam. But, we must be wise and report these people, which I do, regularly, and I let them know they will reap what they sow. I also pray for them, hard as is it to do, but it's how Jesus would handle it! Let's pray that this website is taken down!

Worst customer service. Not worth your time. Nobody there on the other side of the email. My log in stopped working and to this date I do not know the reason. I inquired about the reason for this error, expecting a reply as to whether the reason was a a code error or I was shut out due to contravening the terms of service unknowingly or unintentionally. To this date I have not received a reply. I sent them a video of myself playing in church worship on Sunday to confirm my identity and my church affiliation. No reply whatsoever. Moving on.

Sad - Fake Profile, Harassment, and hacking. No Help from Christian Mingle at all. But they want your money, but you don't receive any help from the hackers!!!! This makes the Lord Bad!!! Say to the wicked: Isaiah 3:11 - Daniel 12:10.

I signed up to find like-minded Christians but there were none within 100 miles of my location in Canada. I broadened the search to 500 and ONLY got American profiles and responses. Nothing against Americans but none in Canada where I live. How can that be? Far too many no photo “supposed member” bios. Most profile enquires from men I received wanted emails and/or phone numbers along with the very first initial hello so unlikely safe or real profiles. Women and men be very careful on this site. Scammers hang out in all kinds of ways. Dating 101 would never recommend moving off the site with email or phone number exchanges right from a hello.

Attempted to sign up but my account was "flagged". When I called to ask why they said for security purposes they needed me to send in my drivers license and a utility bill. I said absolutely not. I asked why it was flagged and they said that's not their department. I asked to be transferred and they said until they confirm my identity with those documents they can't transfer me. I said, "Ok. Well I need you to delete my email address and photos that I uploaded when I created my account." They said, "Without confirming your identify with those documents we can't do that." I said, "You have NO right to keep or use my photos!" She said there is nothing further to discuss and hung up.

For a $49.99 a month I think the owners of this site should really check the subscribers. In fact I don’t think the fake accounts are from outside I think it is in house. A way to cause you renew the subscription. Everyone that contacted me were fake accounts. This site is corruption and fake please don’t waste your money. Don’t deserve any stars but I have to click something in order to move on.

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.

While I have my own reasons for not using CM, they have nothing to do with the site being a scam. I’ve gone on many dates through this site and, when I contacted CSR, they were prompt and even fully refunded me when I said I wasn’t happy. (I live in Canada and they didn’t make it clear the price would be USD, which is far too much money for one month.) I think their recent model of letting people have accounts without paying, but restricting their ability to communicate, is hurting the pool. No one is paying and, therefore, can only wink at each other and never make contact. Just as on any site, be careful and look for the signs of fake profiles, but CM is legit and their CSR has treated me well.

I randomly selected 176 profiles and wrote everyone! Not a single reply, not a single look, not a single like. I chose all kinds of people from thin to heavyset, old to young. Tattoo to priss. I am very seriously wondering if there are any humans on this site! I am not an ugly man nor am I super overweight. Average man. This was the biggest waste of my time and money!

Beware of the scammers and the profiles that are no longer active (3 - 6 months and beyond), that are sent to you weekly as "matches." I heard from scammers more often than real people. And, one, in particular, had multiple aliases/profiles and would fill up my inbox with unwelcome messages. Please know I am not a bitter person or unattractive. Truly, experience CM on your own and see what type of experience you have. Very very disappointed. And as always, be very careful about giving out personal information, because they will ask all the time.

I paid $50 for a full month of service. It took 2 days to get my picture and profile approved. Any changes in the future will also take a couple days. $50 is not worth that inconvenience when other sites are free and don't make you wait to add a picture or change your profile. That's $50 down the drain but I learned my lesson.

Please be careful on this site and don’t waste your money or time. The fake profiles are very crafty and now look like regular people. They ALL have poor grammar and can’t give you the neighborhood name of the town they “recently moved to.” Most are widows (or widowers), have no local family, but will give you a different story when they chat. All say they will relocate and have exotic sounding jobs. It is a sin for this type of criminal behavior to try to lure people who are honest and looking for companionship. This site has no method of verification of identity. DO NOT JOIN - buyer beware!!

Created a profile and submitted four photos for it. All were compliant with their requirements but my last photo was rejected. It is a picture of me in a modest polka dot top that buttons up to my throat, black pants, and heals. I was on my way out to dinner with my family. I am not posing but simply standing in my every day stance. I have a big toothy smile on my face so it's not even that stupid pouty mouth that everyone does because they think it somehow makes them look sexy. Meanwhile, dozens of male profiles I have looked at are of them shirtless on the beach wearing shorts... I wonder if I could get away with that on my profile??? (As if) I was sent an email informing me that this particular picture was rejected and if I'd like further explanation I could email and ask why. I emailed. I never heard back. This is clearly discrimination for being thin, attractive, and female.

This dating site is all a scam. All you get is inquiring people from out of state, which turn out to be scams... Customer service is the worst I have ever encountered. Will not refund even a portion. Same people are on from your own state, that never changes, I believe they are fake people. Do Not Waste Your Time Or Money.

By far, Christian Mingle is one of the worst sites I have ever witnessed. If I could rate them lower I would! This site is dominated by a plethora of fake/old profiles, scam artists, and cat-fishing. It is very sad yet comical to see such poor site management/oversight. I truly wish that there was some form of legal recourse/liability to the site owner for those scammed! I believe this site is owned by Spark Inc. and trust me, they need help! I have written customer support and also posted a review of my distaste in the Apple App Store. It is a shame as it could be a very good site. After a week online, it was quite evident that this was not the place for me. I believe if there was some time and effort invested in site management, it would be a great site, but until that time.... Stay Away.. You Have Been Warned!!

Christian Mingle is too expensive. I called about an issue with my account in which I had been a paid customer a few times. The representative could not assist me and when I asked to speak to a supervisor, the agent came back on the phone said that the supervisor will not come to the phone unless I submit a copy of my ID, utility bill etc. I just recently read that Christian Mingle must repay back by 1 million to customers in whom they renewed their accounts without permission. I realized I am one of those customers who had the disputed a couple of years ago. Also upon further research Christian Mingle is NOT a Christian faith site nor owed by Christians. They just WANT YOUR MONEY FOLKS! Try Christian Café or like previously said by others, try other dating sites and just write down that you are a CHRISTIAN seeking a CHRISTIAN.

They charge you close to $150 for 6 months, and if you don't find someone or just don't like the app, well...money gone! Is this what Christianity is about? Scamming people? At least prorate the services, if someones pays for 6 months and leaves sometime in between give some kind of refund, they give nothing back! Sad how they are using religion to cash in money from good people, stay away, better use the other free apps and deal with more work than getting scammed like this financially. SAD.

I joined CM hoping to meet like minded woman. Unfortunately there are more fake members and scammers than real ones. This could be a great site if there were any management that would care enough to review new members. I feel like I got totally ripped.

I joined Christian Mingle in early January and have gotten mostly fake profile "smiles" that were removed, and from people hundreds of miles away from me. Only a couple of contacts were in my area. I also had a conversation with what turned out to be a hacked profile. The person I was talking with was very impatient. Wanted my phone # right away, which was very odd. This dating site has a LOT of troubles with fake profiles. Don't waste your money like I did. I originally signed up for six months which was the best deal, and happily I was able to get a partial refund. I still am stuck with this lousy service for a month now at a cost of $50. Enjoy my money, CM. You won't be in business very long without any real subscribers. Folks, join a bigger dating site and just state in your profile that you're a Christian and looking for the same. Best wishes to all.

I joined Christian Mingle less than 1 week ago paying $74 for a 3 month subscription. After doing so I went on the website and put in reasonable requests for my match. I was provided with 18 matches most who didn't live in my city, which is quite large. I waited a few days to see if any other profiles would be provided; nothing was, nor was there any way to search on my own to see If there was someone I might be interested in contacting. The same 18 matches were the only choices up until today, when the site blocked me from any further use with no explanation.

I went into this hopeful, not checking the reviews: foolish! If they are named Mingler and do not have a photo: they are always a Nigerian accent and claim they have an English or Australian accent, has a ** picture and are always a contractor or claiming to be in the military. 40% are male scammers. Christian Mingle does not screen and allows free non-paying men into the site. Some calls are from the Folsom prison area and the many are out of state. One call was from a murderer on probation but had a really nice picture. Another was from a man who said his religion was the best and mine is a fraud. The last promised to meet but when the time came he disappeared, think he was cheap, he kept turning down the heat in his house to save money and only wanted to meet for a drink was an hour away. Within a few days I asked for my money back but they would not give it. This is a horrible just horrible rip off dangerous website for women.

I joined because I was looking for a Christian partner. The site, first off is rife with fake profiles. You will be told you have all these emails, so you subscribe to read them, but oops! They're all gone. The second thing is, they harbor (and protect) some very abusive men. When I told one man I did not want to date him after exchanging a few emails, he became seriously ugly and sent me multiple abusive messages. I forwarded them to the admins, who just said, "Oh, block him." Except I couldn't, he had blocked me! He would unblock me at some odd hour of the day, say 2 a.m., write a very unChristlike email, then block me again.

I am new to the online dating world and so it has been eye opening so far. While the Christian Mingle site is legit in that it will post your profile for people to view, they cannot guarantee the people loading profiles are legit individuals and not scammers. This website has been a disappointment for three main reasons: 1. I would say in my first 2 months on the site the number of people who are scammers who are posing as potential dates is between 30% and 40%. Part of the problem could be that there is no background check to see if individuals even exist. The good part is profiles can be reported and their profiles will be removed for violating terms of service; such as asking for money.

I actually paid $105 dollars for 3 months of this service. And I'm pretty sure it was the worst $100 dollars I ever spent. At least 1/3 of the profiles on this website are fake profiles, created by whomever, I have no idea. They all have only one picture and say "last online today" and every time it is some beautiful person. Aside from this dissatisfaction, the number of people that are on this site is very low. I live in North Carolina and have my setting on folks within 200 miles, and it probably only comes up with about 100 people. This should be a free website with how horrible the service is. Again, it's literally the worst $100 dollars I ever spent.

Christian Mingle is a great site. I have met some nice people through it. I enjoy the religious aspect of the site as well as the dating aspect. On most other dating websites it is hard to find people who share religious interests, but not on Christian Mingle. I want to continue using it in the future.

Christian Mingle is a good ideal. It was a Christian dating site, but I am not sure how they are screened. Anyone can claim to be a Christian but I like to know if they really are strong Christian or just saying that so they can get into the website. I don't think it is appropriate to represent a strong Christian person when you are not. It was a gamble I did not want to take. And although the site was user friendly and compatible with me, it was too intrusive and I am rather private. I did not like giving all my personal information out so in the end, I back out of the site.

Christian Mingle was easy to use and I liked the religious aspect of the site as that was an important quality I was looking for in a match. But matches were hard to come by and the people lied on their pages. Also I disliked the amount of money I spent as it's super expensive. I went on a few dates and the overall quality of matches was not great. I would not recommend the site to others.

I like that it was for Christians, but it wasn't anything special. More often than not women were standoffish. Felt like my picture was most important, and I could almost be boring or exciting, no different. It didn't feel like my religion was part of it and I don't think the criteria really matters. Met my significant other elsewhere. She didn't vote for same person for president, different education levels, different hobbies. Also, I felt like it was hard to stay in contact with people in Christian Mingle. They mostly quit or just simply didn't respond after a while. Felt like you'd chat, share laughs, but never really meet.

My experience has been pretty good. I've gotten a good amount of matches that I am interested in. I really like the amount of people in the site who share my system of beliefs. It can be really hard to find other people who are Christian and religious these days and this site helps me do that. It's pretty easy to use and makes the idea of finding someone to date and one day marry a lot less stressful. The site is perfectly fine the way it is right now and serves its purpose well.

The most common thing in this site is people being a "Christian" whether that is Protestant or not. The site is pretty easy to use and it's nice how you can customize your profile. I liked the fact that you could select and browse by files that had a picture available and also by region so you could look for people near you. The site is too expensive but I liked that there were times where you could communicate for free and also trials. However it should be required if people want to pay for it to make a background check on someone at a discount for safety purposes. And it should have more local events for people to meet.

Great site that was for free. You could upgrade to a premium service to get better email and more benefits. Not too many people were in my location for the criteria I was looking for. But it was helpful for a couple dates. I really like that it was a Christian site so it makes it a little safer to feel like the profiles are real people that are looking for serious dates. A lot of sites you really have to be careful with who you decide to meet up with. It's a great site overall. Been a while since I've been on the site but any more security questions or service can help out with keeping dating sites like this one safer to use.

The match criteria and quality of matches has been spot on. I like the way I can customize my profile so easily so that it stands out when someone looks at it. I like the fact that I can find men to date who share the same Christian values that I have. It is easy to communicate with the men I meet on the website. All of the men are genuine in the fact they are looking for a real relationship and not just some one night stand. I was a little leary at first but not anymore.

Met great Christian people and although I haven't met my soulmate, I had some really good dates. But some dates were too religious and just wanted to talk about religion and nothing else. You also have fake profiles like other dating websites that are just there to try to take advantage of people on the website and are not actually people looking for a date. Still, Christian Mingle is easy to use and it is higher quality people than other dating sites. People are more serious about dating than other websites I have tried. It seems like a better place to meet a long term relationship. I would recommend this for anyone looking for more quality dates.

The Christian Mingle site was easy to navigate and the type of match was relevant to what I had wanted. The type of person I met was screened, suitable and with similar interests. He was a nice, kind gentleman and we got along as well as could be expected on a first meeting and we seemed to like each other. Everything went in harmony as could be imagined and there was a satisfying experience overall.
