If you are thinking of purchasing a premium membership. STOP RIGHT NOW! DO NOT DO IT! This was the biggest waste of time and money that I have experience on any online dating site. The MOST of people that they matched me were not a match at all. You are unable to seek a match for yourself you had to wait for them to match you. There were even times that there were NO MATCHES on my page. It was my worst experience ever. And to top it off when I tried to cancel they keep giving you the runaround- sending you to various pages on their site and continued to charge my card even after I sent a message via their form to cancel. Save yourself the aggravation!!

My experience in just less than a month has been extremely poor. It seems Silver Singles has no vetting of the women who sign on. I signed on for 3 months and had to quit before 1 month, Every profile is rated basically the same and in the middle of their graph. Quite a few list their email address as their name. So many scammers! Though I paid for 3 months, they didn't offer a refund of 2 months which a reputable organization would do. Very disappointing site!

This entire website is nothing more than a scam. They let you see people for at least a couple of days. The whole entire time trying to get your credit card information to purchase more. They show the same people over and over again. I logged on months ago, only to return today. Two exactly the same faces from before. These people are not even listed on SilverSingles. They are using their faces to scam you into purchasing their Dating website. Once again, crooked humans trying to screw over a good people.

Their algorithms do not work based on your profile. I specifically stated only matches within 50 miles, it’s one of their choices on the site. I continually received matches from as far away as 3500 miles. I live in Canada and 30% of my matches were over 50 miles away in the US as well. Their answer to me "We're sorry to hear about your experience with our app. To find more singles in your area, we recommend reviewing and adjusting your search criteria if necessary. Should you require any further assistance, please contact our customer care team. Thank you!"
That answer says nothing, they are the experts and should be able to determine why I am receiving matches more than 50 miles away. My search criteria is my personality & likes, what would I change to stop matches over 50 miles away? I after not getting any satisfaction I requested a full refund through Apple and received it. I wouldn’t recommend this app to anyone that is serious about find a match close to home.

They lead you to believe you are going to pay 19.99 per month and then charge you for 6 months. Liars and thieves! Stay away. This is very dishonest and I strongly do not recommend. This is how they do business.

The vast majority of accounts with an attractive lady are phony accounts. Why aren't they being screened? The clues: (1) Their "name" is a g-mail or other account, trying to get you off the site; (2) the wording is obviously AI-generated with rich prose including colorful verbs (who, for example, uses the word "embarked?"); and (3) photos can be readily checked with a facial recognition system, like Pim Eyes. There ARE some high-quality women to meet, but be careful.

Beware even when you put that you don't want auto renewal - they charge you!!! I try go get into the account I set up and used for a week - no luck. The CC company can reverse, so I get to dispute.

I signed up with SS for 6 month and have been using it for about 2 month now. So far I had two "candidates" contacted me. We exchange a few messages and phone numbers. Both "candidates" turned out to be scammers. I had an experience with scammers before. They all follow the same pattern., just like they have a script. According to SS contract agreement they do not do background check and do not verified if person, men or women, are actually real people. But they do tell you be careful of scammers. So, like every other online dating services, SS just to make money of "members". You're on your own and responsible for your own safety. I've been using other online dating services and they all the same. None of them provide and guarantees real service. It's all money making machines.

I question whether there is any monitoring for imposters or “fake” people happening on this site. Buyer beware! Be prepared to heavily vet anyone responding to your profile. I have had numerous men contact me and so far there was only one that was a real person or who after speaking to them matched up with their profile. Insist on talking live. They mostly want to send endless messages where they parrot back whatever you say and they can’t keep straight the lies they tell before they start in asking you for something. Very disappointing.

After hearing about SS on a podcast promoting it as one of the best methods to meet eligible senior singles in my area, I joined for the minimum of 3 months. Within a week I realized that the women reaching out to me used photos of older models. Many of the ones I exchanged messages with asked me to connect with them on WhatsApp. All of the women to whom I suggested meeting in person offered excuses why they couldn't or immediately disappeared from the site. Closing my account required several email exchanges with the app's staff.

(1) Although the app asks for your preference for distance, education, ethnicity, the profiles they send you don’t meet your requirements. (2) The app states that they will send you profiles daily however some days you don’t receive any, some days you’ll get 2. (3) Definitely a lot of fake profiles and profiles with no photos. I honestly wouldn’t recommend this dating site. I’ve emailed them however they haven’t responded.

I have experienced four men who were romance scammers. I had to look up the info myself by using and paying for reverse image searches. I can no longer trust any of the men I am "matched" with. This last man I chatted with said in his profile he was from my area in Virginia, but once chatting he said he was from Miami, Florida. Then when I paid to do a reverse image search...he's really from California and owns his own financial company **!!! His passport says a completely different name. Everything about him was a lie. Silversingles has lost my confidence. I think all dating sites should vet their members and stop making the members do ALL the work.

HUGE waste of time and money. I frequently matched with scammers, profiles with no photos, and men FAR outside my geographic location (out of state and across the country). Every time I tried to make tweaks to my profile, my updates were blocked due to offensive language when there was none. In one case, I thought I would get to meet guys who were realistic about their age and stage of life by joining an app that makes no bones about being silver and single, but the algorithms are a hot mess. Using the "matches" sent to you by the system requires you to either delete or send a smile (aka start a chat) with a match without being able to see his profile, only a photo.
Meanwhile, their other feature, which serves up all the "new" profiles, is full of repeats, old profiles I unmatched, and nothing new for weeks. But no one other than fake profiles and all the guys who did not match my preferences. They need to work on their algorithm. Otherwise, this goes into the category of more wasted money on dating apps and dating gurus.

I wish I had look at the reviews before I gave them my money that they refused to refund me. The women they sent me were not what I was looking for and the lowest distance was far away for dating and getting to know someone. Long distance relationships don't work for me and the smallest distance you could set was 50 miles. None of the women I have sent a message to, have not responded which makes me think that they are not real profiles. And I know that some dating sites do that, I just wish they would just refund me my money.

If I could rate a 0. I would. I had one date in this site with a loser troll that has been using dating apps to meet and ghost women. Really mentally ill person. Waste of my time meeting this person. My other matches were also horrific. This was my first app dating encounter. Deleted my account. Never again. These dating apps and the people on them are toxic.

Same thing others are saying. Receiving a lot of fake profiles, matches aren't within my parameters, getting "suggested" profiles who are beyond 50 miles. No responses to "smiles" and texts. Getting notified someone has reached out and I should "check it out". When I do, their profile has been deleted. Seriously - within a couple of hours of getting the email?? Their personality profiles are cookie-cutter and the majority don't apply. Almost everyone ends up with one of two profiles. Also getting a ton of spam email now. Very displeased.

After a 6 month stint on this site, I have had plenty of smiles- that lead nowhere and 7…Yes 7 alerts from the company of fraudulent profiles. That’s just the ones they know about. This is a poorly run/managed company that just wants your money. Do not sign up.

Silver Singles is a rip-off. I never had anything in common with any of the matches they suggested. You can't search for people with similar values and interests.

The site is a waste of money and a scam. The "possible" matches that are sent to your inbox are from hundreds to thousands of miles away from the user's location. Additionally, the majority of the profiles are fake, most women only have "1" photo and their profiles are written by AI. Don't waste your time and money!

I have been very disappointed with the quality of Silver Singles. The site asks for your preferences but then disregards them. I specified that I wanted to meet people with a certain radius, yet I continually received inquiries from hundreds, even thousands of miles away. I am in CA and had responses from Australia, Newfoundland, and Chile!
I also received many notices about security risks concerning the people who contacted me. The notices said that they were investigating these men and that I should not communicate with them at all. I received at least half a dozen warnings in a period of two months. There were also at least two people who contacted me who were downright scary. Most of the people who respond to profiles only "smile" but never actually write a message. In addition, the customer service is almost non-existent. I intend to void my business with Silver Singles as soon as possible and would suggest to others that they use another site.
Reviewed Sept. 15, 2024
My preferences were limited to people 50 miles away from me, and at first many of the matches were 2 to 4 hours away from me, which is well over 50 miles. I could deal with that even if I wasn’t happy about it. Just recently I started getting Profile views almost exclusively from much farther away, including California, Oregon, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Colorado. You get the picture. I have no interest in getting involved in that type of long-distance relationship. I live in Pennsylvania. So number one I wanna know how these Subscribers are finding me on the site when they are so incredibly far away.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!!! If I could give zero stars I would. I enrolled in this service and within a day, I knew that it would not produce quality "matches". I contacted customer service for a refund because 6 months is too long to pay for when the quality is awful. I was told that I could not get a refund, but that they would leave it active for the 6 months since it was already paid for, but shut off the automatic renewal. They DID NOT shut it off. I was charged again, for another 6 months and again told that I could not get a refund.
Again, they said to leave it active and they would shut off the automatic renewal, and this time I told them to just cancel it all together. Another issue, is that they do not provide a contact number. All correspondence is via email and the responses appear to be from an AI bot and NOT an actual human representative. I cannot express enough how unhappy I have been with this service.

I had only a few interactions. One person was 13 years older than advertised—he was the best one out of the group. One was clearly a scammer. Many looked like scammers in the standard ways. Two mentioned sex in their first (and only) messages. The rest were geographically completely inaccessible —100+ miles away. I have no idea why the app didn't work in the morning. The introductions required you to "smile" at someone or send a message; you couldn't just look at their profiles. It was a strange and awful experience. Truly.

I was enjoying initial contacts with good conversations when I could no longer access my account- I was blocked for “fake” behavior with all my contacts warned. I am so legit - there was no wrong behaviors - I wasn’t notified, I just became a “no show” to contacts and my good name slurred. Trying to correct it with customer service is difficult. I had to figure out how to contact them & sent additional verifying information. They are located in Germany and waiting for replies now to the correction is minimum 2 days. I paid for 6 months of service and they unilaterally did this with less than one month of use. First time I used a dating App on over 7 years & this is an awful experience

First time using site. Within 5 days was approached by 2 men with site notifying me they were being investigated with their profiles removed. Received smiles from many men out of state and locally but no messages. They must have been trolling not really interested in establishing a relationship. Complete waste of time. Reached out to customer service and requested and granted refund. Beware and don't bother. Also was approached by men wanted to move off website using another app, asked for personal email and wanted personal mobile number. No thanks!

Yes I woke up; this morning and all my pictures were removed and they were viewed and verify by them and then I came home later on and I can't log into my profile at all, it's like they closed it and there was no reason or explanation. I paid till September when it expires and got rip off due to the fact I did not get to finish my subscription, that is not right to be treated like this at all. I want a refund for being treated poorly with no reason.

2) To find a person's location, you must scroll to near the bottom of their profile. It would save subscribers a lot of time if the person's location appeared at the top, like the person's age does.
3) Especially after a few weeks, SilverSingles begins to suggest people WAY out of your chosen geographical range. Perhaps this is because a person "smiled at you" from some faraway city. But why make my profile available to people outside my chosen geographical range? Including Hawaii!! (I live in CA). My boyfriend had received messages from women who live in Asia!
4) Messages from people who are temporarily within my geographical range (ie: at the nearby international airport!). Again, a waste of time to scroll down and discover the person lives out of state!5) Fake profiles. Some fakes are easy to spot (profile photos don't match each other, huge grammatical/ language errors, profiles with very little detail, etc), but at other times, time is wasted messaging someone who is not who their profile says they are. Bumble has a better verification process.
6) Watch out for the Auto-renew, which I believe is a required part of a subscription! You must contact SilverSingles at least 24 hours BEFORE your subscription expires, and if you miss the deadline you are out of luck. There are no messages or emails alerting you that your subscription is about to expire.
Pro's1) I met my boyfriend through silver singles, and we would not likely have met otherwise. We feel very lucky!
2) Messaging through the site is safer than texting, which is important in the early stages. You don't have to share your phone number or email address until you want to. It's actually a red flag if someone wants to switch to texting or phone calls right away.
3) Profiles can provide a lot of information about a person's interests and hobbies, if the person bothers to complete their profile.3) Easy to find out if a person is super extroverted, which was a no go for me. Subscribers take an initial questionnaire which gives a general look at various personality traits, based on the "Big 5" personality traits. The only trait important to me was the introversion-extroversion scale, but other scales might be important to other subscribers.

I fell for the discounted subscription thing. Okay, I tried it. I have been there a month and absolutely nothing. Then magically, I get a response from a like. It is strange because my profile title indicates some fabricated cartoon name that I created and the person that is messaging me hasn't even bothered to ask for me real name ... To me, that's a RED FLAG to me. I will be changing my credit card number as I am hearing horror stories about SS making attempts to charge your card again when your subscription ends.

Silver Singles. Fraudulent billing. This is an absolute outrage. I subscribed once for your services, never set up a profile, and never used your services. I have identified four unauthorized charges: one on April 11 for $159.29, one in October for $161.91, one in April for $159.29, and one in January for $161.91. First, what subscriptions do you offer for these amounts? Secondly, how could I be billed $642.40 for a dating subscription website that I never set up a profile for or used? I contacted and emailed SilverSingles notifying them of these fraudulent charges. Despite my clear communications, SilverSingles informed me you cannot reverse any charges since I used my Apple Credit Card for the purchase. You directed me to contact Apple, but Apple informed me that as long as the charges were approved by me, they will not reverse them. I only submitted payment.
I categorically deny ever approving these transactions. It is inconceivable that I would approve different amounts for a subscription website, particularly one I never used. I am contacting you now after receiving an update from Apple, showing that my disputes were reversed in your favor. For a company soliciting senior citizens, fraudulently charging them is not only unethical but illegal. Targeting senior citizens with excessive and fraudulent billing practices will not be tolerated.
The last email I submitted to SilverSingles was upon your request for my account information. I was informed that there is no account listed under my name. It is your responsibility to locate these charges. Therefore, I am demanding an immediate refund for the total amount of $642.40 for a service I never utilized or set up a profile for. Additionally, I find it highly suspicious to be billed these excessive amounts for subscriptions at two entirely different rates. Explain what possible subscription justifies charging $161.91 and $159.29. I demand you take immediate action to resolve this through Apple Card. Failure to do so will result in further legal actions against your company for taking advantage of a senior citizen.

They deliberately make it very difficult to cancel. You can’t even contact them, when you send them an email it bounces back. They keep charging you without your authorization. I’ve already met my fiancée on the other site MyUkrLady (which is a 100% legit site that I can surely recommend), but I’m still struggling to cancel my SilverSingles subscription. They tried to charge me even after I closed my bank card. According to the other reviews, everyone who joins SilverSingles almost invariably regrets it and has problems cancelling. The reason why you would want to cancel is a total absence of genuine profiles.
