This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Seniorpeoplemeet.com is the biggest rip off site for the mature singles. I thought it would be better as the age range would give me a broader spectrum than the usual. Well, many people on this site are only members, but not paying members, and that simply means that they cant "write you" but only flirt. Also, you can't tell the difference, non paying or paying, if it is an actual message or flirt until its opened. I was thinking I had messages( e-mails) from other members when I finally signed up and here, they were flirts from other states. So...almost 6 months on this site..met one local who was only interested in sex...that was it. I have ask numerous times for my money to be returned or a portion, and they NEVER answer back.

DO NOT WASTE your hard earned money! I have no respect for the owners of this rip off senior site!

I also got ripped off. I cancelled my membership, they took the money out of my checking account, caused me to be overdrawn. They said I had not cancelled and I needed to sign in again. I could not because I had been deleted. Then I got another e-mail from them saying to log-on again, which I did, cancelled again and told them to delete my profile. That worked, but they refuse to return my payment! After about 15 e-mails. There is no telephone to talk to a "real person"! Do not use this site!

This site, like all the others are one big scam. B2, millionairesmeet, etc, they are all the same for scamming people.
I've learned to google now before signing up and giving credit information as it is so hard to get it back/get them to stop taking money.
I' had an issue with a nasty member and all I got back from the company were poorly written and not relevant form letters.
It's all about reeling you in and keeping you money.
And a wealth of opportunities for the scammers from all over the world.

According to a Nigerian spokesperson I talked to, internet scams are the biggest money maker in places like Nigeria. Whole villages are in on the scam and help to defraud the rest of the world.

I think I made a mistake by joining impulsively last week. A profile interested me and I wanted to contact him. After I paid, he mysteriously vanished. Then today, only a few days later, I got a wonder long message at 1pm...tried to reply at 3pm but the man is 'no longer a member".
I smell a SCAM!

This is nothing but a scamming site. They also told me to my account was compromised. They told me to reopen but under a different email address. I said no. That all I got was two scamming men. One man try to scam me for 500.00. They second man tried to scam me out of 5, 000.00. I have had it. SeniorPeopleMeeting site is nothing but a scam. They took 94.45 out of my checking account.

Stay away from that site.

I am now having the same problem. When I logged on yesterday, my username came up with some guy's profile, so obviously my account has also been compromised. I sent them a message, but as of yet have not heard anything back from them. I know there is a number to call, but I can't get on to find it.

You are all grown men & women & should have control over what you do in life, of which none of you sound that bright. How on earth do you & let others take you for big lump sums of money? How did they know you had that much? You had to tell them something. Don't ever give out your info to anyone online, that is just plan stupid. Where it says: Income, on your profile, Never put the amount you have or make in that space. Also you guys whine about getting ripped off from the Co. Isn't the best thing to do first, is to go with one mo. first, to see if the site will work. It is only $14 dl's & on top of that it rolls over with a automatic $14 charge again nx mo. Then if you don't like the damn site after that first mo. CANCEL prior to the end & you can gracefully leave. Also for the searches, they give you option's to stay just in the limit of where you live. You never have to except someone from another country. If you do, Delete them & send in a complaint. My gosh use your noggin's & quit blaming others for your mistakes. I do agree that some of these site are out to just get money & are phony belony. So don't even start up with them. Go out to a bar or some alley to find someone & quit whinnnnning! Grow Up.

SenPeopMeet - SUCKS!

I registered for one monthe using a money order to avoid unauthorized charges from these [censor]s - which, I discovered, are two women from AZ. This site is a division of People Meet, AZ. Curses to everyone who is involved behind the scenes on this site, who knowingly rip people off.

It was a drama fest to use a money order because you have to call their crappy customer service to sign up. They gave me a hard time because I didn't use a cr card . (gee I wonder why)

I'm an attractive woman and was amazed how many 'flirts' I got but only a few emails. 'Flirts' are set up to keep you interested and hopeful, however, I discovered they are not real people. One email I got was full of spelling and grammatical errors (as if an idiot wrote it) and it didn't make much sense. An alarm went off in my head so I kept it in my inbox for future ref.. I noticed a few days later that the user name was different than originally sent...inside job no doubt. These people play all kinds of hurtful games with people for a buck. Not to mention the fake photos and profiles. You'll notice some of the pics are simply close ups of the other in the same profile. It's just a big scam...they should be ashamed of themselves. Stay away from there folks!

destery - you honestly think everyone who signed up at these dating sites is stupid and should use their "noggin?" Do you believe the dating sites are not scamming the users who sign up to try their site for one month? You really need to understand what people are saying about these sites and how hard it is to stop these scamming companies from taking money unless you cancel your credit card etc. And you really think you can just call "them there people up at the ole dating site" and they are happy to help you cancel your membership? Good luck with that. There are 1000s of people that disagree with you. All I (and we) are trying to do is warn people if they do an on line search for a reference from signing up in the first place, because I guarantee you the last thing that is going to happen is everlasting love with your best new lover ever. Maybe one of 1000 are a legitimate business who sign up legitimate members who are actually trying to find a date/husband/wife/lover etc. The other 999 sites are in it to scam people out of money. Whether it is one month free, first month $5, $14... It’s all about getting your money and hopefully for more than what you originally agreed to.
And how do we all know we are getting scammed? How about those new emails/messages that are all obviously written in a foreign language and auto translated to English? And funny how we can get the same email/message but from a different user name? If you call them on it, they say someone hacked into their account... yeah, uh hum... that's if they reply after you rat them out...
And then trying to contact the company - I know for a fact we were never even dealing with someone from this country!
And when contacting the company about a rude, obnoxious member, and you send them all the proof of the obnoxious, rude member, that member is still on and harassing others - I have all my written correspondence with this company - perhaps you'd like to see and read it yourself before telling us to go find someone in an alley or bar.

I've been in Senior for at least a year and they gave me a lower month-to-month rate. One day, I was posting a new photo and before my eyes my profile picture changed to a young woman and her profile replaced mine. I thought there was a glitch somehow on their part. I then got e-mails confirming that I had changed my password and e-mail address and asked me to confirm it. After a few times of changing back, and trying to write to them with no response, I deleted my profile and all other pertinent information which had already been hacked by this person, and set up a new username with a different e-mail address so I could access the site and see whet was going on. This hacker was evidently soliciting "business" and the e-mails she was sending out to the members were very suggestive. I reported the hacking to the FBI. When I finally got someone on the phone at Media People Meet after the weekend, they said the site had been compromised and offered me a free week. I said I wanted the same rate after the free week and they said to call as it was expiring. I called them and they said they could not give me the same rate and I told them that it was their fault since they did not provide the security they should have had on the site. I said I only wanted my old rate. They refused. They also increased their month-to-month rate on the site for all members to twice that I was paying.

THIS SITE HAS ALREADY BEEN HACKED AND THEIR ATTITUDE IS REALLY BAD AND, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO KEEP A CUSTOMER, THEY DROVE ME AWAY.

When are you people going to learn about giving out your credit card info?Get a prepaid card, put $5.00 on it, and then use it. If the site is legit, then just add more funds to the card, if not then let these con artist try to bill the card numerous times! It's sooooooooooooo funny reading all the emails from these companies (which are frauds to begin with) saying how they are going to sue you for fraud! Also set up another email address. Never give out your primary email! Wow I need to teach a class!

I disagree with all these negative comments. I belonged to SPM for a year. I never had any trouble with them and met many women. When I went to cancel they offered me a lower rate and I wound up staying at only 4.00 a month and I get a LOT of action out of it. There are definitely a lot of rip off artists out there who will hit ladies up and say they are in love with them and they need money to travel so they can be with them and all that, but these are professional scammers. They are not part of the SPM site. If you are stupid enough to believe that some guy from Africa has the hots for you and you give your personal info to someone and let them have access to your checkbook, well, I mean what kind of ### are you?

Well, satisfied user, I am glad this scamming place worked for you... tell me, how could you tell they are from Africa? When they pretend they are from the same area we live in? What? Set up a meeting? Oh, yes, that works until the day of the date, then they get called out of town...blah, blah blah... if anyone at any time believes this site is remotely legitimate, then I have to ask what kind of ### are you then?
not every newbie to dating sites will know about the professional scammers - that takes a while to figure out which are scammers and which are maybe real, although when reading the "emails" they sound like they are written in one language, then auto translated to English and they don't do a very good job of it either.
This site is no different than any other dating site - they know EXACTLY how to suck people in and make money.
I would love to know their success rate - oh, that's right - there is no success rate posted there

To Satisfied User - You're missing the point. It's not about the African con issue, which is obvious to the average person. It's about the overcharges; fake profiles; poor customer service and playing with peoples emotions for profit. Shameful no doubt - not only for this site but all that conduct business in the same manor. Luckily, Universal Law is always at work and at the end of the day negative deeds always come back to roost sooner or later.

If only I had read this before joining the dating site of seniorpeople, I would never have joined or been scammed. They are connected people that are set out to scam the elderly. I had contacts from some that you could not find how they even viewed your site. This is the biggest scam site. I tried to email them several times with my emails coming back as undeliverable. Contacting them is impossible with their so called email service. I have yet to get my money back but I will change my bank account for sure.

This site is a rip off! They hook Seniors stating it is a free site like Facebook. They used Facebook to hook me. I went and signed up and it was only free if you don't talk to anyone on the site. It's $11.95 to read messages. I wanted to see my many messages so I paid the $11.95 but later saw that they took $75.00 from my checking account. I called my bank and they gave me the number to call but no answer. I wrote a letter to them on the site and they have not responded. The bank told me it will take a month to get my money back. I met several men that were posing as American men with photos that were cut and pasted and profiles that made them sound sincere, but once you start a conversation with one of these men you realize that they can't even command the English language. It's a dangerous site for Seniors. I am contacting every government agency I can find and the BBB. I will not rest until this site is exposed.

PEOPLE-
This site is owned by match.com now. People media has been sold several times within the last five years. It is NOT two women from Arizona but, some of their employees work in Arizona because they were based there before being absorbed by match.com. They do not treat the fraud accounts aggressively and (at least in the past) did not shut down the african scammers accounts but, rather dummy blocked them (their outbound messages were not being delivered). The crappy thing about this is it causes a great deal of confusion and potential matches for legitimate clients whose accounts were hacked, even after their accounts were restored. Sadly, the scammers move onto other accounts and the cycle continues. The other big problem with this company..they never had enough customer service help to meet the demands of their 20+ dating sites. I saw a commercial tonight for ourtime.com and sure enough, its the same company as seniorpeoplemeet.com. Just a heads up.

I not only was a member of SeniorPeopleMeet, but i married a man I met on the site. Reading your letters, alot of you seem gullable, and you're so confounded because you think you're being "scammed." Grow up, get smart. If you can't manage to be online without being taken advantage of, then you're not savvy enough or smart enough to be operating in this "cyber" environment. sure, there are scammers, and sure... these companies are out to make money, but you should know that before you goin. Reading all these angry hostile letters that basically say the same thing is a pathetic experience. Many of you give too much information about yourselves, and therefore, you deserve to be exploited, you're acting stupidly and getting what you ask for. If internet dating doesn't work for you, go to church, join a club, meet your neighbors, get on a bowling team, do SOMETHING that you can handle without whining and complaining.

Yes I've received the flirts and letters where you can tell they're not from a person. I've even received the exact same message from several different user names. I've also met a few very nice people through this site. My problem now is that I can't log in, over a week now I get a message that my username or password is incorrect (they are not). I used the "forgotten password" link and I never get the email from them so I can reset my account. I've emailed them 5 times already and have received responses but no solutions. I'm paid up for 6 months and I can't get in.

If other dating sites are like this one, god help online daters. Difficulty navigating subscription and membership cancellation procedures. Two weeks into a one-month subscription, I cancelled. Also sent emails to SPM customer service requesting confirmation of cancellation in the event I am billed again. Continued to receive flirt messages despite cancellation. Called People Media @[protected] three times, insisting on cancellation confirmation. The site has no business integrity. Caveat emptor. Always research a site before giving out that credit card number!

i registered on the site and was curious to become a paid member because of the tactics used by the site, they send you never ending messages til you become a paid member, from members that are no longer on site, after 3 days of viewing profiles i never found the so called members and that"s not even the worst of it, in certain profiles i seen many pictures of children posted, not with account holder but by themselves ! being they do not do back ground checks on members, it easy to a pedophile to get into a phoney interest relationship and go after the children ..the pictures go thru a approval process so why do these people approve these pictures ..i was very disappointed needless to say i will never go on a dating site again seeing the way they work these sites ..its unbelievable how they allow this ...i was on senior people meet ...they just forgot to finish the name and put CHILDREN at the end...

Total rip-off, no refunds, no customer service, computer generated emails that don't address your problem.
Almost all men are non paying men that "flirt" for 0 and expect you to pay to join in order to email them back. They don't have the large dating pool as advertised. what a waste of time and money.

Interesting reading your scripts. I did send flirts to some ladies but I cannot register as a member because each time my card was declined. I wonder why!. I am in the UK.and I am beginning to wonder if this site has been blocked by the UK authorities? I wonder if anybody else in the UK is having the same problem?
Apparently I have a message from "Doppdonna". If you are Doppdonna and you sent me a message please get in touch, because I cannot access your message if you do indeed exist.
