Christian Mingle I do not recommend it

I paid $104 for 3 months. There aren't many people to choose from, and out of those people even fewer regularly check the app, because it's so empty. I messaged a bunch of men I was interested in the first few days of paying for the subscription. Over the past month I've received numerous "sorry, I don't check this app- text me" messages. Even more of those men never even looked at my profile and have not signed in since before I joined. I went on one date in the month I've been on it with someone over an hour away (had nothing in common but that's not christian mingle's fault). I've been getting messages from from men 100s of miles away, and the "smiles" are people who don't want to pay for the service. Overall, looking back I should have just paid the $50 for one month and been done with it. Maybe within these next 2 months someone else will join.

Christian Mingle Pricey

Quite costly to venture into this, plus the presence of fake profiles doesn't help... please fix these. I used zetsus.com to weed out the bogus profiles, they investigate accounts such as facebook etc...

Christian Mingle Not too bad

I did chat with quite a few guys on this one. They were very nice and we write quite often. However, about 2 guys started playing games right away. I think you could definitely get a date, but I wasn't sure if these guys would be serious.

Christian Mingle I saw one of the commercials and decided to sign up

I saw one of the commercials and decided to sign up. I paid my money and got to talking with a few nice ladies. Finally, I met one and although it didn't work out, we've become great friends. I have another date coming up soon, hopefully things work out better this time. I really need a good shuffle board partner!

Christian Mingle Should Disclose You Have to Pay to Use Website!

The problem I had with this site is that it doesn't tell you upfront that you have to pay to see "replies" or "who flirted with you". The surprise is at the end, after you've gone all through the questions, uploaded your photo, describe yourself, etc., then when someone responds to you, in order to see who responded to you, read their email, etc. you get the webpage showing the membership costs you have to pay for in order to see those inquiries to your profile.

I might have missed it in the commercial on TV, maybe they should have stated that ONLY signing up is free and "several payment options available to use the sight" or similar.

A little bit of me being na?ve enough to realize nothing in life is free, and a little of Christian Mingle not being totally UPFRONT and stating from the get go that you have to pay to see replies after you've signed up.

Oh well, searched the net, plenty of TOTALLY free dating websites out there. And yes, they state "totally free, no credit card needed, ever" right at the beginning of uploading your info.

Live and learn.

Christian Mingle Beware of Scammers on Christian Mingle: My Experience with Leonard J. Costa

I had a really bad experience on Christian Mingle. I met a man who called himself Leonard J. Costa. He said he was from Milford, Ohio, and worked as a real estate agent. He also told me he had a 12-year-old son named Willie. We talked for over a month and I really thought he was a good guy. But then he told me he had to go to Ghana to write a contract to receive gold and diamonds left to him by his deceased father.

Once he got to Ghana, things started to get weird. He texted me and said that Willie was very sick and needed medical attention. He said he couldn't get money in Ghana with his Visa, Mastercard, or travelers check. I felt bad for him and sent him some money. But then he asked for more money so he and his son could fly to the states for Willie's treatment. I sent him more money, but they never showed up at the airport.

The next day, Leonard called me and said that his son had died on the plane. He said they weren't allowed into the states and he was back in Ghana. He asked me for money to pay for an autopsy. I told him I wouldn't send any more money. He then asked for money to send me a check through Federal Express. I didn't send him any more money.

I later found out that Leonard was a scammer. He had used four different names and had profiles in three different languages. He had even scammed other people before me. He had me send money to two different people in Accra-Ghana. I was really upset when I found out that he had lied to me and scammed me.

I want to warn other people about Leonard and other scammers on Christian Mingle. Don't trust anyone who asks for money, especially if they're in a different country. Be careful and stay safe.

Christian Mingle ChristianMingle Review: A Nightmare Experience with Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

I recently tried out ChristianMingle and unfortunately, my experience was not a positive one. In fact, the Better Business Bureau gave the site an F rating, which is definitely concerning. I tried to terminate my membership, but the website kept putting me in a loop and it was almost impossible to get a hold of an administrator for help. It was a nightmare.

To make matters worse, I consistently ran into men who were not what they seemed. They were wolves in sheep's clothing, pretending to be Christians but really just looking for sex. It's shocking that these men are willing to spend money to go on a Christian dating site just to prey on Christians. I ended up feeling traumatized by these experiences and it was not what I was looking for in a dating site.

I paid for a 6 month subscription, but I had to have my bank block ChristianMingle from taking out any automated renewal fees. I couldn't even delete my credit information or terminate my account because the website kept me going in circles. It was frustrating and I wouldn't recommend this site to anyone.

My advice is to try a safer site like EHarmony or a Christian matchmaker (if that even exists). It's important to always pray first and ask God to lead you in the right direction. There's even a prayer online about praying against counterfeit spouses for Christians. I read this prayer at least 5 times one day and it helped me when I did a telephone video with a man I met on ChristianMingle. His true intentions came out and I was glad that prayer helped me see the truth.

Both Christian men and women need to be careful when going on these sites. It's important to be wise as a snake and innocent as a dove. God bless.

Christian Mingle A Cautionary Tale: My Experience with ChristianMingle

ChristianMingle is a dating website that caters to Christians looking for love. As a 35-year-old virgin, I was hesitant to try online dating, but I decided to give it a shot. I had won "best looking" in high school, was the captain of my college swim team, and was working at NASA. However, my childhood girlfriend, who later became my fiancée, wanted to wait until marriage, so I had no choice but to remain a virgin. When she became pregnant five months before our wedding, I was left stranded as a virgin for years. No girl wanted to date me after finding out, and some even became violent. Despite constant offers to hook up, I declined because I wasn't a toy. After all that I had been through, my virginity seemed like a gift that someone would value.

Finally, I met a girl on ChristianMingle who was a church worship leader. She was gorgeous, divorced, had no kids, and didn't mind that I hadn't been with anyone. She seemed perfect. We dated for seven months, and I had already called home for the box of jewelry that tradition held I should design her ring from. After seven months, we finally slept together. She had convinced me that she wasn't going to do what I feared most - a hit and run after years of turning down hookups.

However, the next morning, as I drove home, she texted me and dumped me. She was already at her fiancé's apartment. It turned out that she was engaged, but had "f*** a virgin" on her bucket list, and I was just the cutest one she had ever met. She threatened to call the police if I ever returned. I went to the police myself and reported "rape by coercion," a thing in Texas where typically a boy promises a girl marriage and rainbows, has sex with her, then dumps her on the side of the road. But they laughed at me and kicked me out of the precinct. I went home and attempted to hang myself, but I was unsuccessful.

Despite my terrible experience, I still believe that ChristianMingle is a great website for Christians looking for love. However, it's important to be cautious and not trust everyone you meet online. I learned that the hard way. I even found her real last name on a church program online, which showed her and her fiancé at a whole other church. So, if you decide to use ChristianMingle, be careful and don't let anyone take advantage of you.

Christian Mingle Beware of ChristianMingle.com: My Experience with a Possible Fraudulent Account

I had a really bad experience with ChristianMingle.com and I want to warn others about it. I joined the site and posted some photos that were approved and verified. I started chatting with some guys, but when I tried to log in again, I couldn't. I contacted the Christian Mingle team and they told me that my account had been flagged as possibly fraudulent and that they had suspended it to protect my security and privacy. They asked for a lot of personal information, including my full name, display name, date of birth, present location, and email address. I even offered to make a video call to prove that I was real, but they still asked for a photo of my national identity card.

I complied with their requests because I just wanted to delete my pictures and deactivate my account. But then I realized that they had no intention of releasing my account. They were just using it to scam innocent people out of money.

Please don't fall for this trap. If you're thinking of joining ChristianMingle.com, don't. Learn from my mistake and find love on a more legitimate site. Take care and God bless.

Christian Mingle Disappointing Experience with ChristianMingle: Scammers and Inappropriate Language

I have been using ChristianMingle for about 6 weeks now, and I have to say, my experience has been quite disappointing. In the first few weeks, I was contacted by 5-6 men, which seemed promising at first. However, I quickly realized that something was off. Many of these men started off with strange and inappropriate language, using phrases like "knowing you would be my greatest desire" and "thought about you all night". One even went as far as to say "wrap our legs together", which was a major red flag for me.

To make matters worse, many of these men wanted to move off the site immediately and onto email or phone calls. They would ask for my phone number and more pictures, which made me feel uncomfortable. What's more, at least 3 of them had the same bad grammar, punctuation, and inappropriate use of capital letters. It was clear that something was not right.

One man even got kicked off the site because I reported him, but he came back on with a different name and sent me the same first letter. It was clear that these scams were organized, even from West Africa. I felt disappointed and even depressed after weeding out the scammers. I just hope that pictures of me aren't out there somewhere with a false profile attached.

Despite all of this, I have met a couple who found each other on ChristianMingle. They are in their 80's, which gives me hope that success is possible. However, I can't help but feel that the devil has infiltrated that site. As a Christian, I was hoping for a safe and genuine dating experience, but unfortunately, that has not been the case for me.

Christian Mingle Christian Mingle Review: A Complete Scam or Legit Dating Site?

Christian Mingle is a dating website that is specifically designed for Christians who are looking for love. However, this website has received a lot of negative reviews from its users. I decided to try it out for myself and see if these reviews were true.

Firstly, I must say that the website is quite expensive. I paid $49 plus tax for a one-month membership, which is quite steep. However, I was willing to pay this amount if it meant that I would find my soulmate.

Unfortunately, my experience with Christian Mingle was not a pleasant one. I encountered a lot of catfish on the website. These are people who create fake profiles to deceive others. I suspect that Christian Mingle creates these fake profiles themselves to lure people into paying for a membership.

For instance, I received a smile from a very attractive woman who had two photos on her profile. I did a Google and Bing image search of her photos, and they did not show any signs that those photos were being used on another site. So, I paid the $50 membership fee for a one-month membership and sent her a message introducing myself. However, she did not log in for two days. When I checked her profile on the third day, both of her photos were gone, and all her information was deleted. This was a total scam!

I also messaged another woman who only had one photo on her profile. I did an image search, and the search engines did not show her photo being used on any other websites. I sent her a nice message, but she replied without answering any of the questions in my message. Instead, she asked me to talk to her on WhatsApp. When I created a new contact in WhatsApp with her phone number, her WhatsApp profile did not even show a photo. It showed a storefront icon instead of a person icon, leading me to believe that it was a fake number for a fake business.

In conclusion, Christian Mingle is a complete joke. I would advise anyone looking for love to spend their money on a dating site that has much better reviews. Trust me, you will thank me later!

Christian Mingle Disappointing Experience with ChristianMingle: Technical Issues, Fake Profiles, and Lack of Genuine Connections

I recently signed up for ChristianMingle and was excited to see what the site had to offer. The sign-up process was easy and free, allowing me to browse around and see what the site was all about. However, I quickly learned that if you don't fill out your profile completely, people on the site may disregard you. This was frustrating, as it took several days for any updates to my profile to be posted.

One of my biggest complaints was with the iPhone app, which was somewhat buggy. It kept taking me to a subscription page and trying to get me to sign up for a premium plan that charged monthly or on other renewal terms. After a couple of weeks of using the app, I received a message saying that my profile would be deleted if I didn't sign up for the paid version. This was not mentioned anywhere when I signed up for the free version, and I found it frustrating that I had to pay to keep my profile active.

Trying to leave the subscription page was also a hassle, as it kept taking me back to the page and wouldn't let me cancel. I eventually had to close the app and restart it, only to find that I had been charged $30 for a subscription that I did not authorize. After spending an hour on the phone with customer service, I was able to cancel the auto-renewal but was still charged for the month I didn't want or authorize.

Aside from the technical issues, I also found that many of the people on the site appeared fake or non-Christian. As a recently divorced 55-year-old, I was disappointed to see that over half of the women in my age range were looking for a man between 35 and 49. Some even stated in their bios that they were serious about the age thing and would only consider men within that range. This didn't seem very Christian-like to me, and I was discouraged by the lack of genuine connections on the site.

Overall, my experience with ChristianMingle was not a positive one. While I'm sure there are legitimate people on the site, the technical issues and lack of genuine connections made me decide to not continue using the site.

Christian Mingle Disappointing Experience on Christian Mingle: Scams and Red Flags Everywhere

So, I decided to give Christian Mingle a try, thinking that maybe this would be the place where I could finally find a lady for me. However, my experience on this site has been quite disappointing. I have been a member for a month and a half, and I have only come across two women.

The first woman and I corresponded for about two weeks, and just when it looked like we might meet, she asked me to buy her a laptop. Can you believe that? I mean, how could she have the nerve to ask someone she had never met to buy her something? She even had a beach house and a son in college, so it's not like she was hurting for income. I dropped her in a heartbeat.

The second woman was from Mesa, Arizona, and had a flourishing business that took her overseas a lot. She said she was self-sufficient and could take care of herself, which was great to hear because I can do the same. However, she then told me that she had a problem with funds after finishing her job in Malaysia. Another red flag! I high tailed it out of there.

I don't know why I always seem to meet these kinds of women, especially at my age. You would think that women in the age range I am searching for (40s to late 50s) would be more mature and rid of all the nonsense by now. It seems like I am just a magnet for these types of women.

I have learned a great deal about scams and bull$#*! that is on these sites. It's everywhere, and you really need to keep your eyes and ears open, or you can get fooled if you're not careful. All these sites I have tried have been a learning experience for me, and they have really opened my eyes and ears to what is really going on in this world today.

It's a shame that a single person cannot find happiness and love here in an honest and truthful way. I just wish it was back to those days before this internet stuff!

Christian Mingle Finding Love with ChristianMingle: A Faith-Based Dating Site Review

I had tried another dating website before, but it just wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted a site where I could connect with people who shared my faith and values, and where we could have meaningful conversations about our beliefs. That's why I decided to give ChristianMingle a try.

Now, I know from my own experience growing up in a Baptist church and being a pastor's daughter that just because someone says they're a Christian, it doesn't necessarily mean they're truly saved. But I was hopeful that I could find someone who shared my commitment to Christ and who was looking for a real, intimate relationship with Him.

I did meet a couple of gentlemen on the site, but it was the second one who really caught my eye. When I saw his picture, something inside me just knew that he was the one. We started emailing back and forth, and after a couple of weeks we decided to meet in person. A year later, we were married - and I know that God played a big role in bringing us together.

Of course, not everyone on ChristianMingle is going to be a perfect match for you. But I think that's true of any dating site. You have to go into it with realistic expectations and be willing to put in the time and effort to find someone who really shares your values and interests.

One thing I appreciated about ChristianMingle was that it gave me the opportunity to connect with people who were serious about their faith. We could talk about our favorite Bible verses, share our struggles and triumphs, and encourage each other in our walk with Christ. It was a refreshing change from some of the other dating sites I had tried, where faith wasn't really a priority.

Of course, there were still some people on the site who were just posing as Christians in order to take advantage of others. But I think that's true of any online community. You have to be discerning and use your common sense when interacting with people online.

Overall, I had a great experience with ChristianMingle and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a faith-based dating site. Just remember to keep an open mind and be patient - the right person is out there, and with God's help, you'll find each other.

Christian Mingle ChristianMingle Review: Good Experience Overall, But Disappointed with Auto-Renewal System

I just wanted to share my experience with ChristianMingle, a dating website for Christians. I used it actively from May 2015 to March 2016 and had a good experience overall. However, I recently had an issue with their auto-renewal system that left me feeling frustrated and disappointed.

In May 2016, I was charged $113.94 for an auto-renewal that I had forgotten about. I emailed ChristianMingle to explain my situation and asked if I could get a refund since I hadn't used their website since March and had no intention of using it for the time being. I have a lot of memberships and it's tough to keep track of which ones auto-renew and which ones don't. I've had this happen about 5 other times with other businesses and they were all understanding and gave me a refund.

However, ChristianMingle was not willing to make an exception for me. They told me that it was in their "Terms" that I accepted and I should've been more on top of it and canceled my service before the auto-renewal hit. I thought this was unfair and unreasonable, especially since they knew my situation and that I hadn't used their service since March.

I promised them that I would never use their service again if they wouldn't make this exception. They told me to call them so they could assist me with my recent charge. After 4 call attempts on 3 different days (they closed over 2 hours early one day, closed for lunch another, long hold time), they finally picked up. They looked into my situation and told me that they weren't going to give me a refund because it was all my fault.

I find it funny that they told me to call them so they could "assist me with my recent charge" by telling me exactly what they told me over email. It felt like I was getting a lecture from an adult again. Essentially, they put themselves before their customers and made me feel like a 14-year old.

Overall, I think this is a rare occasion where the business puts itself before its customers. I wanted to share my story so others don't need to experience the same thing. If you decide to use ChristianMingle, make sure you read their "Terms" carefully and keep track of your auto-renewals. Otherwise, you might end up like me, feeling frustrated and disappointed.

Christian Mingle ChristianMingle Review: Disappointed by Profit-Driven Policies and Lack of Transparency

I recently had an experience with ChristianMingle that left me feeling frustrated and disappointed. I wanted to update my bio to include my personal website, so that other users could easily get in touch with me outside of the platform. However, when I submitted my profile for approval, I received an email stating that my content had been reviewed and some of it had been removed.

The reason given for the removal was that I had included contact information, which is not allowed on the site. Instead, users are encouraged to use Mingle Mail, which is a messaging system that protects anonymity. While I understand the need for safety and privacy on a dating site, I couldn't help but feel like ChristianMingle was more interested in making money than in helping people connect.

In fact, the email I received specifically stated that the reason for the rule was to "protect your anonymity." But to me, it seemed like a thinly veiled attempt to force users to pay for messaging services. As a Christian, I was disappointed to see this kind of greed and lack of transparency from a site that claims to be focused on faith and values.

It reminded me of a passage from Luke 16:14, where the Pharisees are described as loving money and justifying themselves in the eyes of others. While I don't want to make any sweeping judgments about ChristianMingle as a whole, my experience did leave me feeling skeptical about their motives and priorities.

Overall, I would caution other Christians who are considering using this site to be aware of the potential for hidden fees and profit-driven policies. While it's certainly possible to find meaningful connections on ChristianMingle, it's important to approach the site with a critical eye and a healthy dose of skepticism.

Christian Mingle ChristianMingle Review: Frustrating Communication and Picture Viewing, Abundance of Scammers

This dating site, ChristianMingle, is not the best option for those looking to communicate and view pictures. The email system is quite frustrating, as you have to leave the site to read any messages you receive. Additionally, if you are writing an email to one person and want to switch to another, the site will keep the picture of the first person, causing confusion.

Viewing pictures on this site is also not user-friendly. You can only scroll through pictures using a mouse, which makes it difficult to view pictures on your phone. Furthermore, the pictures are automatically cropped at the top, but there is no indication of this, so people viewing your main picture can only see from your neck down.

One major issue with this site is the abundance of scammers. Every few hours, you will receive a message from a young, attractive person with a fake picture. This can be frustrating, as you constantly receive notifications of new messages, only to find out they are from scammers.

Overall, while ChristianMingle may be a good option for those looking for a Christian dating site, the communication and picture viewing systems leave much to be desired. Additionally, the prevalence of scammers can be a major annoyance.

Christian Mingle ChristianMingle Review: Hidden Costs and Fees

I had a bit of a problem with ChristianMingle, to be honest. It's not that the site is bad, per se, but there's something that really rubbed me the wrong way. You see, they don't tell you right away that you have to pay to see certain things. Like, if someone flirts with you or responds to your messages, you can't actually see what they said unless you cough up some cash. And let me tell you, it's not cheap.

Now, maybe I missed something when I was signing up. I mean, I'm not the most tech-savvy person out there. But I feel like they should have been more upfront about this. Maybe they could have said something like "Hey, signing up is free, but you'll need to pay to access certain features." That would have been nice.

I guess part of this is my fault, too. I should have known that nothing in life is truly free. But still, it would have been nice to have a heads up. And honestly, there are plenty of other dating sites out there that don't make you pay for every little thing. Some of them are even completely free, no credit card required.

So, I guess what I'm saying is that ChristianMingle is fine if you're willing to pay for it. But if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, you might want to look elsewhere.

Christian Mingle My Frustrating Experience with Christian Mingle: Suspended Account and Suspected Fraud

I recently signed up for Christian Mingle and was excited to start using the site to meet other Christian singles. However, after just a few minutes of creating my profile and uploading my pictures, I received a notification that my profile picture was pending review. I thought this was odd, but figured it was just part of the process.

The next morning, I checked back on the site and saw that my picture was still pending review. I tried to log back in, but was met with an error message that said "Authentication failed." I was confused and frustrated, so I decided to reach out to Christian Mingle's customer support team.

To my surprise, they informed me that my account had been suspended due to suspicion of fraud. I was shocked - I hadn't done anything wrong! I had simply created my profile and added my pictures. I couldn't understand why they would think I was trying to commit fraud.

What's worse, I couldn't even delete my profile or pictures from the site. Every time I tried to log in, I was met with the same error message. It was like I had been completely locked out of the site. I knew I was using the right email and password, so I couldn't understand why I couldn't access my account.

I started to feel like Christian Mingle was a scam website. Maybe they were keeping my pictures and profile on the site to make it seem like there were more people using the site than there actually were. I didn't want to send them my state ID, as they had requested in their email to me. I didn't feel comfortable sharing that kind of personal information with a website that I didn't trust.

In the end, I asked Christian Mingle to please delete my profile. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to use the site to meet other Christian singles, but I didn't want to be associated with a website that I felt was untrustworthy. I hope that others have had better experiences with Christian Mingle, but for me, it was a frustrating and disappointing experience.

Christian Mingle Scammed on ChristianMingle: My Experience with Fake Profiles and Predators

After reading a bunch of reviews, I gotta say, I don't feel like I'm the only one who's had some issues with ChristianMingle. Now, don't get me wrong, there are some good folks on there with good intentions, but I gotta say, I've been getting a lot of messages from out-of-state folks with names like "Mingler123" and no pictures or info on their profiles. What's up with that?

But let me tell you, today I got scammed by someone who was pretending to be someone else entirely! I shoulda known better than to give him my phone number, but I did, and then he started sending me some really weird texts that made me super uncomfortable. When I finally talked to him on the phone, he had this really thick accent and I could barely understand him. And then, when I told him I wasn't feeling it, he just hung up on me! I feel so violated that I got taken in by someone who seemed like a nice guy, only to find out he was just trying to scam women.

Honestly, I deleted my profile and I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. The folks who run this site really need to do a better job of screening their members. I mean, it's called ChristianMingle, right? You'd think they'd be more careful about who they let in and who they let mess with their members. But nope, they're not doing enough to protect us. So, if you're thinking about joining, just be careful and keep your guard up.

Christian Mingle Disappointing Experience with Christian Mingle: Lack of Verification and Distance Filters

I gotta say, my experience with Christian Mingle was not great. I had the fancy membership for three months and boy, was it a bummer. The biggest issue I had was that they don't check if people are who they say they are. I'd say about 80-90% of the folks who hit me up were not who they claimed to be. A lot of them wanted my digits and other personal deets and wanted to chat outside of the app. When I brought it up with Christian Mingle, they just told me to trust my gut. Like, what? Also, I got so many "smiles" from dudes all over the US and Canada. I ain't interested in anyone who's more than 100 miles away from my crib in SW Florida. When I asked if there was a way to filter by distance, they said nope. But when I looked for guys within 150 miles of my place, there were no matches in my area. That's wild, 'cause I live near Ft. Myers, which is a big city with lots of people. After three months, I didn't meet a single person who was legit enough to grab coffee with. I'm super bummed about my experience with Christian Mingle.

Christian Mingle ChristianMingle: A Site That Betrays Christian Values and Favors Scammers

ChristianMingle is a dating site that claims to cater to Christian values and beliefs. However, as a paying consumer, I have found that the owners and the site do not represent Christian values at all. In fact, they seem to honor more of the values of Satan.

One of the biggest issues with ChristianMingle is the amount of scammers on the site. I would estimate that about 90% of the time, you will be mingling with scammers. It's frustrating because ChristianMingle knows about the scammers, but they do little to help the paying and honest consumer.

For example, ChristianMingle does not provide the paying consumer with the tools to track, trace, or search a little more about those that we are communicating with. After a few days, scammers disappear from your radar, and ChristianMingle never notifies you that they were scammers.

Furthermore, ChristianMingle does not go the extra mile to verify the scammers. They keep coming back with new virtual numbers like Google Voice free numbers. Anyone can get a virtual number and make calls, send/receive chats, etc. It's so simple that it defies the intelligence of ChristianMingle.

If you do encounter a problem with scammers, ChristianMingle's help support is worthless. They immediately think you are guilty until proven innocent, and it's almost impossible to speak to someone live.

It's clear that ChristianMingle is making lots of money with deceptive names and advertising at the cost of honest Christian believers. Before you pay a penny for this site, do your own homework. I am stuck for six months already and have lost lots of time entertaining scammers.

Overall, I have more negative reasons for why ChristianMingle is a terrible site, but I will leave it for other victims to share.

Christian Mingle ChristianMingle Review: Disappointing Experience with Phishing Attempts and Auto-Renewal Issues

I have tried out a few dating sites in the past, and ChristianMingle was always on the list of top 10 sites. I was excited to give it a try, but unfortunately, my experience was not what I had hoped for.

After joining, I quickly realized that there were only a few members with photos on the site. Instead, there were hundreds or even thousands of anonymous users with usernames starting with "mingler_" followed by a series of letters and numbers. These users were scattered throughout the United States and would often send me a smile while I was online.

At first, I thought these messages were from legitimate members, but it soon became clear that they were just phishing attempts to extort money from other users. I was frustrated with the constant inbox messages and decided to email ChristianMingle about the issue. Unfortunately, all I received was a generic apology for my bad experience.

I suspect that these phishers are able to join the site without paying a membership fee, which helps to bolster ChristianMingle's membership numbers. If the site truly cared about its Christian users, it would take measures to correct this problem.

Another issue I encountered was with the cancellation of my auto-renewal process. Despite trying multiple times to follow the online "Stop Subscription" instructions, I was unable to cancel my subscription. There wasn't even a visible tab to tap for that process. It was frustrating and made me feel like I was being scammed.

Overall, I was disappointed with my experience on ChristianMingle. I wouldn't be surprised if many subscribers don't renew their memberships due to these issues. If you're looking for a Christian dating site, I would recommend doing your research and finding one that truly cares about its users.

Christian Mingle Christian Mingle: Two Strikes and You're Out - My Frustrating Experience with the Dating Site

I gotta say, I tried Christian Mingle twice and both times were a total bust. The first time was back in October 2019. I filled out all the info they asked for and did a quick search for about 10 minutes. The results seemed decent enough, but within just 2 hours, my account was TERMINATED. I tried to find out why, but all they would send me was some legal mumbo jumbo about their Terms of Service. I mean, come on, I gave them all my accurate info, so what was the problem? It was super frustrating that they wouldn't give me any real answers.

Fast forward to mid January 2020, and I decided to give it another shot. I used a different email address this time (they rejected my first one), and I paid for a subscription. But when I did a search, the results were pitiful. I mean, we're talking only 5 people with a really wide age range. I looked around for about an hour and then logged off. But then, about 12 hours later, I got an email saying my account had been TERMINATED again! And once again, all they would send me was a link to their Terms of Service. At least they refunded my money, but still, what a waste of time.

Honestly, I think Christian Mingle is just running themselves out of business with their ridiculous policies. I mean, if they can't even give me a decent number of search results, what's the point? I'm better off finding love elsewhere.

Christian Mingle CM is not safe. I recommend J4Date.com

Christianmingle operates on completely dishonest non-Christian business model. They use bots and totally fake profiles to attract new users to their site. Good concept but poor execution. If you don't want to put your money at risk, use a more reputable site. I recommend J4Date

- they have affordable prices and a lot of real profiles of genuine ladies. I think the site will suit people who don't mind travelling. I met my girlfriend who is from Ukraine. But she was the first to visit me. What I like is the fact that they have so many ladies and all of them are beautiful fit and and they have Christian family values. I hope you will not be disappointed with this site as well. ChristianMingle is really not what they claim to be. They make money on gullible singles. They want to know your bank card detail so they can put you on automatic renewal. They are nothing more than thieves.

Christian Mingle Customer service

I subscribed to the site on March 30, 2022, and my photos are still pending review. In the meantime I paid almost $150 and am not getting any response from the men on the site. I also see the same men and their profiles every single time I log in; never any new profiles. I am currently on hold with the customer service and have been for almost an hour. Customer service for this site is horrible. There is a CONTACT US prompt available, however that does not work!

Worst dating site EVER! If this review can reach anyone out there then please do not subscribe to ChristianMingle.com. A total waste of money.

Desired outcome: I would like a complete and full refund.

Christian Mingle Matching cite

I took out a subscription for Christian mingle about a month ago paid for three months in advance I'm very disappointed with the connections the type of man this site expose. I believe it is funny and I canceled and they have been harassing me sending me an email every single day. To tell me that they are rejecting the picture that I put in to close out we've gone in a vicious circle around and around and around and I've asked him just delete my account and they keep sending me another email telling me they are rejecting the picture. I feel like I'm being harassed and I ask him to stop harassing me and they keep sending these emails I've no longer going on the site to look at the fake man. And I asked them to reimburse me for my remaining money. I have not received cooperation they continue to harass me. All I've done is spend money and receive nothing.

Desired outcome: I asked to be reimbursed for the remaining money that I spent on this site and I’ve got no cooperation just harassment

Christian Mingle Unprofessional realization

Well, don't know where to start. I honestly think that this website is terrible.
It's not done properly, so sometimes it looked like it was made by a 5 yo kid. Pictures are not fully seen neither on the phone or the PC.
It pretends to be a proper dating site with its own communities, groups, and system of emails sendings. The last one works like crap. You get an email right in your profile, but when you're on the website you can't normally read it, it simply doesn't redirect you to reading the letter. Strange. The website is very buggy.
So unprofessional and inconvenient to use.

Christian Mingle not as advertised

I paid a membership for 6 months, and have received no dates and very minimal correspondence from any other members. They are all the same people or men who are much too old for me and not what I requested. I contacted the company and asked for a transfer to another one of their sights and was told no, also told no refund. I have been on other dating sights and never had no responses before. I do not believe they are legitimate even though they advertise BBB. I want my money back!

You might be better off staying single anyways since there is such terrible calamities in relationships & marriages now a days. My head spins from hearing about the divorces everywhere with people we know and in our neighborhood plus the terrible trouble teenagers get into as well, the grief they cause their parents .

Another thing is the internet is a terrible way to try to meet someone it's enticing though it seems great but it's all fool's gold. My advice is if you must have a relationship try to meet people in person in a group situation where you just do things together as friends. The problem with relationships is that people cover up their defects until it is too late after marriage you find they have a anger problem etc..

BBB is a scam racket if you pay to be a member for your business they will see to it you get a good rating no matter how many complaints are filed, BBB will see to it that any complaints are successfully resolved or the complaint made void in one way or another. BBB is a privately own business it has nothing to do with the government or US legal system in any way.

If you have no business membership with the BBB then even if you get like one complaint you get rated like a C- or even a F rating to pressure you to pay for a membership with the BBB. I have had business people say to me they know BBB is a scam racket but that they join anyways since the BBB membership logo, rating etc. help increase their finical intake and their number of customers goes up .

BBB is all what people tend to perceive it means "reliability, trustworthiness" when in reality it is no such thing, in fact it could mean the exact opposite it is use by bad businesses to achieve and air of credibility instantly out of thin air just because so many ignorant people in it, like the Greeks believe in mythology like Zeus etc. but had no factual reason to do so.

Christian Mingle I have been robbed of close to $10,000

I met William James on the Christianmingle.com website and got hooked with his quote"love for me". Then he claimed he had a friend Richard Ofori would be bringing me a box. Cool, naive as I was, believed that. Anyhow, Mr.Ofori contacted me and claimed he needed money for customs to allow the box into the country. Then it was more money and then he needed money to have a lawyer draw up the documents to allow the box into the states. But after the first two amounts of money I said no way. I have then figured out that I had been taken for a lot of money I truly didn't have or could afford to prett much give away. Then about 10 days ago, I got a call from a Dr. Robert William from Accra, Ghana who claimed he was a director of there and again wanted more money for this box and then money for the insurance on the box. I have stated I don't have anymore money. I have been robbed of close to $10, 000 and my dignity because of this situation. I have emails that were used, cell numbers for Dr. William and credentials for him as well.

This scam is as old as the internet itself. You can ask your local police to help you out but it's unlikely that the "Dr. William" exists and it's unlikely that they will be able to track this guy down.
Those people have disposable phones, use disposable emails, and have fake IDs. They promise people money, goods, etc. but only if they wire money to help pay for customs. Once they get the money, they just disappear.

I recently was emailing a man on your web site. He was a fast talking, smooth talking, and never called me by my birth name. Came on very strong to me with his sweet talking ways.
We never met in person. But within a weeks time, he asked me for 10, 000 dollars so he could get the equipment that was in a seaport. He claimed to have run out of money. It was the icing on the cake, I immediately saw another red flag and I heard a buzzer go off in my head. Telling me to run and cut off my communications with him.
Doesn't Christian mingle do a background check on the people that are on this date site.
ALL WOMEN BEWARE! Of fast, smooth talking men.if it seems to good to be true, it probably isn't TRUE!,
