1 Ruth H.  · Scardy cat males, Useless website to meet males. When you think you have met some one they disappear from the website. Extreme b/s
1 Janina  · Terrible!! Non matches at all for wayyyyyy toooo much money!! This service wouldn’t be worth it if free!!
1 Lou  · Waste of time and money – Very few matches provided for people over 50. Very poor assistance given when you contact them. Total waste of money.
1 Bad customer service..  · Total scam – Took my money, password reset doesn't work... Customer service now response... Scam
1 Britx  · A con – Spent 1 hour inputting my data then it said error. Obviously a con to get your data
1 Sean M.  · scammers allowed and retained – Scammers ALLOWED to keep access and to contact users and nothing is done.

Like others very few responses from prospective men on Elite Singles. Unlike e-harmony they don't show last login on profiles. I suspect most have left the site long ago hence the lack of response. Show details

On joining Elite Singles, it was not made aware that my annual fee was $300 aud! I was joining for a fee of under $200 but then was getting billed monthly $26, amounting to $300! I tried to cancel but advised I was locked in for the full 12 month period. In addition, their advertising is that their members are highly educated and career minded.… Read more

However, this is not true. In short, they are not what they advertise at all. Elite Singles support staff agreed that the matches sent to me are not what I have joined up for, and said ‘ I should widen my boundaries’! I have cancelled my automatic monthly payment to them via the bank. Do not use Elite Singles. Try another on just a monthly membership and if not suitable, you can get out of it without a lot of drama!

I have been on the site for 4 mths, I’ve put up 6 recent nice photos, over 90% of the profiles have very little info, and only 1 photo and some not even their face, which I have reported but you never get feedback from customer service. I think it s a scam, worse site ever, very disappointed, had 1 new guy , we both liked and connected and then… Read more

he vanished. Reached out to customer support to see if there was a problem with their app as it was glitching that day but they said they couldn’t help me, I gave them permission to look at my side of the app / chat but they have the same response (can’t help) . You send a like and get nothing back , I think ppl got fed up cancel and Elite just keep their profile there.

RUTHLESS SCAMMERS!___ AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! – Do not sign on/up for paid membership!!! As soon as you sign up you are automatically subscribed to AUTO renewal. You are not notified about that renewal date approaching/occurring until after you have actually been charged. Cancelling that renewal once it's been processed to get a refund is impossible. No matter your legitimate reasons for… Read more

wanting/needing to cancel, they will not budge on refunding you! They are RUTHLESS MONEY GRABBING PARASITES that prey on your vulnerability for not reading their 'fine print'. They state you can cancel the renewal at anytime BUT when you read the 'fine print' it is only in accordance with their dodgy terms & conditions (within 3 days of renewal date) grrrrrrrr. Dating sites have a responsibility to ensure that contract terms & conditions & cancellation processes are fully accessible, not onerous! & these guys fail on all counts miserably! I'm heading to the ACCC to report/get some advice & hope others who have also been refused their refund will do the same. AVOID Elite Singles like the plague!!!

Genuine Profiles – I've been e-dating two years now and spent 6 months each on Zooks, Elite and Match.com. Elite offered by far a quality and genuine experience for 40+ age-group daters. It's definitely NOT elite. But I did connect with real people. Unlike Match.com which, in my age group at least (45+), 60 per cent populated by fakers. I'm back on Elite. I may not have liked all the matches, but at least they were real people. Show details

Getting Married – I met my fiancé on elite singles two years ago. Yes you have to pay to use the site but it was worth it. We both were very happy that we met on Elite Singles. We are getting married in March 2020 which would never have happened if we didn’t get to know each other on the site Show details

Excellent site – I joined this site but unfortunately needed to cancel after paying for a 6 month membership. I requested a refund and immediately got a reply to say that this would occur within 5 days. I see much negativity from other members but I can’t say a bad word of the good service and a very good site with a great choice of prospective partners. I will recommend you to all my connections. Show details

Absolute rubbish. They seem to think that Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and regional SA, Victoria and NSW are all within 10k of each other. Even though I stipulated the distance I was prepared to travel, they were offering matches in other cities and country areas. Waste of money. Don't go there.

The most disappointing app I have ever encountered. I couldn’t wait to get out of it as soon as I got in. Some 80 year old male was able to message me out of nowhere. Avoid at all costs to save your bucks and for your peace of mind.  Show details

They used to be one the best dating site, but it's not the case any longer. Not even a tiny bit! I think CatholicMatch became very greedy and lost touch with reality. They allow way too many fake accounts. These accounts are mostly scam artists pretending to be real serious ladies, and I fell for it. Gracefully , summit-chargeback was a breath of… Read more

fresh air. Quick replies, friendly team, and no stress at all. getting my 66k back, They really made everything easy. With 100% certainty, the mission of this organization has nothing to do with the faith, unless perhaps to attack it.

If I could give zero stars I would. I signed up and paid for this service more than a week ago and it has worked once. It will not allow me to sign in and despite me asking them to fix it I am ignored. It says it is an Australian site but when you go looking for help, it is actually administered from Europe. Nothing 'Elite' about this business, in… Read more

fact I'd use a word that rhymes with Elite and that would be 'deceit'. Note I've posted a photo of myself to prove this is not a fake review.

The usual story with dating sites. They sign you up and then hit you with the upgrade membership. Just one of the many lures including fake profiles and bot conversations. Never sign up for anything that isn't upfront and honest.

Poor matches. Lots of blank profiles. Personality test was a waste of time. Terrible customer service. High price for premium membership, and no features if you decide to drop down to free membership. Lots of better alternatives. Show details

Could not be worse. Complained in the strongest terms and was refused a refund. Indisputable false advertising. Was told having a parameter "within 50km" was too restricted and if I wanted more matches I needed to broaden my preferences- thanks for the maths lesson! All I need to do is not have any standards! So elite. Show details

Deserves minus zero stars. Total waste of money. Claims to give you a 3 day cooling off period, but refuses to refund you. The site of full of faceless bots and very few actual profiles. Invest your money in a good toy instead.

As other reviews have stated this website appears to be a complete scam. I completed the detailed psychological testing and created by free profile. Upon doing so it showed me that I had approximately 20 matches and a number of messages. However, as a free member you cannot see the matches photo / information about them and even if they are… Read more

paid subscribers and message you, you cannot read the message.

At this stage I realised the free subscription was effectively useless. So having invested the time in doing the testing and creating my profile I stupidly decided to pay the subscription fee for the first 3 months.

As soon as I had done that and seen my matches I realised that none of them met my search criteria. They were all either too far away (lived in another city or in some cases another state) or were significantly older even though I had indicated that geographic location and age criteria were important to me. I then changed these factors to essential.

I signed up just before Christmas. You are supposed to receive matches every day. In the few days leading up to Christmas I received 1 or 2 matches a day, none of which had photos.

Then over the Christmas period I didn't receive a single match. Miraculously on the evening after most businesses return to work I all of a sudden received 20 new matches. Not a single one of these had a photo. Their profiles were all very short and had one or two word answers to the absolute minimum number of questions you have to answer to create a profile. I thought it was very odd when I first started looking at the matches that a number of them lived in Dawes Point, which is a tiny little pocket of Sydney and is largely hotels, pubs etc. Having lived in Sydney for 40 years I have literally never met anyone who lives there.

Then I realised scrolling down that at least 3 of the profiles indicated they live at Parliament House. You cannot live at Parliament House, its impossible.

Clearly the profiles were all fake. The cynic in me says they all popped up at the same time because that's when the staff at elite singles got back from their break and started creating the fake profiles.

Following that "glut" of matches, it was again back to none for days at a time and then I would receive maybe one.

Having been on the website for more than 2 months, I now have approximately 25 matches of which only 1 has a photo. I can only assume the rest are fake as I find it impossible to believe that someone would pay a significant amount of money to join this website and then not upload a single photo. Also since paying my membership fee more than 2 months ago I haven't received a single message from another member and according to the site's own algorithm less than 10 people have looked at my profile and the majority of those are in a different state.

I would ordinarily request a charge back from my bank because the website is obviously a scam. The only thing stopping me is that I actually work for the bank that issued my credit card and I am too embarrassed to have to explain to them I've signed up to this website and have been ripped off.

I would strongly counsel any one considering paying to join elite singles to review all of the negative reviews on here and other sites which indicate it is a scam. If only I had done so before joining I wouldn't be almost $300 out of pocket :(

TOTAL FAKE – 100% FAKE The scam is complete with your subscription. What happens after is a further bonus to them if you don't wake up. First Look for small yet noticeable english use mistakes in personal messages. Remember this is an Australian site run from apparently some back office in Germany which may also be a smoke screen. With the customer care phones held there. (Makes no sense because it's all fake) Stay clear they pull on your emotions.

Shocking – Whatever you do people do not have anything to do with Elite singles. It is a disgraceful company. Nothing but fake profiles and scammers. But they are only to happy to take your money. If there was was zero stars i would have given it to them.

Waste of time and money – The first few days I recieved about ten fake smiles, over the next five months I recieved four possibly real smiles two way out side my age range and two 100's of km's away. I sent about fifty smiles and did not get one response. Show details

You are basically paying a subscription to connect with scammers – On the positive side, the app does send alert messages when you were contacted by fake profiles. On a negative side, 99% of my connections were fake profiles. Which makes me believe most of the profiles posted on this dating app are fake. You are basically paying a subscription to connect with scammers. They are quick to ask for your phone number to connect outside the dating app. Do not recommend this app. Show details

Site is full of fake profiles – Site has lots of fake profiles all you have to do is reverse search the photos. All fakes anyone with one picture is suspect, especially if male and their job is Engineer or Construction. I've been on the site 3 month's and have received several warnings that I contacted or was contacted by a scammer. Photos and profiles should be verified. Show details

My accocunt was blocked because of my several times of correction of my self description – I am a new paid membership on Elitesingles and I am a perfectionism. Last Sunday I got time to correct all my spelling and gammar mistates because Engilsh is my second language and also adjusted the sequence of self description for several times but kept the same content. The team blocked my account suddently on Monday early morning, without any… Read more

warnings and informing! I contacted the customer service and was told they noticed my information was inconsistent and blocked my account and asked me to provide my ID or passport documents. I have been very upset and hurted because I value honesty and sincerity and never lied, all my information are real. But I was treated badly and unfairly.

I kept asked the team to provide the evidence that shows my information is inconsistent, but they just neglected and still blocked my account. And I applied for a refund, I still have not received any response. How can I get help under this situation? I am very angry about this, it's really hurtful and unfair!

Awful and expensive. Don’t bother – I’ve tried all the dating aps and this is by far the worst. As outlined, I wrote to them during the 3 day cooling off window for a refund. I was ignored. Every suggestion is 60 or older even though I stated I was looking for men my own age or younger. It’s now been weeks and I’m yet to see a man I’d go on a single date with. I’ll be sticking to Bumble and Tinder where I actually get matched with men I like and who converse. Show details

turnoff members no photo, 100% male asian scammers – My experience feedback:It is a turnoff to mainly see new members without a photo, members who do not post photo when requested (this is not in your control), and 100% asian scammers that message me that are out of the 50 miles range.It would be more of a pleasant experience to require members to post their photos (if they have nothing to hide and are serious of looking for a relationship) and distinguish themselves as authentic by being verified.
