  • I called customer service and the guy just shrugged it off and said call the bank.

“Its name is deceptive ITS NOT CHRISTIAN DATING!”

Jack C.
8/18/21

Zero activity level. I chose J4Dating.com -I'm getting a lot of contacts there and enjoying my communication with beautiful ladies. Now I'm at the point of making a big and important decision, following my heart and choosing my One and Only woman. So my experience with ChristianMingle was very poor. I'm an average-looking 43 year old man with good income. I sent 80 letters and got 1(!) response. If you value your time and have some self-respect, just use a bigger and more popular dating site and search for a Christian woman there. Christianmingle is not a true dating site. It's a big scam. Don't believe its name! It's a typical scam site, a giant and evil money-making machine with mostly fake profiles and catfishers.

“Sad after sudden suspension”

Kim D.
6/2/23

I meet a nice lad called Jack from 40, SA,TX works as an IT HELPDESK, veteran. He was on premium, so we talked alot after 2 days. I cannot see his message suddenly and they keep prompting me to upgrade since I don't know how to pay using google pay, it took awhile. I promise Jack we would talk again on our dayoff. Then after 4 days CM suddenly suspended my account. I am quite devastated nd decided to stay away from there for good. I hope I can connect to him one day.

95,% fake profiles.
One picture
Often with sunglasses
A short profile
Incongruous information
34 year Olds that would marry a 75 year old
Bad spelling
And Immediately want to leave the site and have your phone number
I got a refund

Christian mingle has a ton of people on the sight and thats its strength. It falls down hard on its inability to keep endless fake profiles from hitting your in box. You will spend 25 percent of you time on the sight just sorting out the trash. They also claim they will review your photo and profile in 48 hours or less. Its not true, think in terms of 4 to 6 days.

The Mingle sight does not ask any standard questions so the essay section of the profiles on it tend to be weaker than they could be. The sight is ok but it could be better.

There are nothing but scammers on this site! Even the site itself tries to scam you. Months later I receive emails saying they renewed my membership and I have one minute to respond. That email is a SCAM! Every person I was involved with (upwards of 30 men) were looking for money. One that I was involved with for a month and asked for money, ended up on our local news scamming a woman out of $125,000. Christian Mingle is no longer a legit website. DO NOT USE!

Site sold out to woke agenda, so dissappointing! No longer real Christian or Bible based. I was on it years ago and hoped I could come back. I just learned this.

Tip for consumers:
If you do not stand for what you believe you fall for anything. Customers have been let down terribly!

Save your money and dont fall victim to the Christian in it's name. No way to cancel in 48 hours, like you should be able to. Scammers galore. One, asked me to send him a 300 Amex Card. Old profiles for matches that haven't been active in years.

Tip for consumers:
Seek out reviews first. Don't use dating sites and if you do be very weary. Never send anyone money

Scammers will use this website to post fake information and then bilk victims out of $$$$$. One person I know won't listen to anyone when she is told her current boyfriend is scamming her. First red flag: Fake name. Second red flag: Lied about where he lived. Third red flag: Lied about his age. The guy is from Nigeria. She thinks they are getting married. She has sent him $$$$$. He is supposedly coming to this country so they can get married. When he was supposed to be flying out, he first claims a delay as the police detained him for looking suspicious. Then, he claimed he didn't have money to pay for carry on baggage. Now, he tells victim that he needs $700 to fly out. Unfortunately, she has been scammed multiple times. She needs psychiatric help. At one point she said she would fly to Nigeria to be with him if he couldn't come to this country. Christian Mingle needs to do a better job of knowing a scammer from an honest person looking to meet another honest person. Smh

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.

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!

Complete scam and waste of money. Trolls, scammers. 10 people within my demographics. Save your money. I canceled less than 24 hours. No refunds available. Do yourself a favor and go to church and find someone.

The site is a complete scam. I signed up and was inundated by fake profiles -- tons of traffic VERY few real people. They literally use Christianity to scam you. Horrible. Amazed at the fake reviews giving it 5 stars. It's completely fake.

Don't. It's a complete scam and I''m so sorry I joined.

Horrible technology with crazy slow loading times. Features many "users" who are no longer active, giving the dishonest impression that there are plenty of people to meet. Plenty of scammers also. STAY AWAY!

Tip for consumers:
Don't use the site! It may be tempting, but find another Christian dating site.

I paid for a year's subscription and most of the time I have a message in my inbox and log on, it gives me errors. Sometimes it says I need to subscribe. It is so infuriating most of the time when I can't carry on a decent conversation. I told them and asked for my money back, but they are not responding. Do not waste your time with this place. It is a scam.

Tip for consumers:
Their site doesn't work most of the time and they don't give refunds. They are a scam.

After my husband passed away I reluctantly decided to try online dating. Thinking a Christian website might be a bit more genuine than others, I paid $50 for a month of fake profiles, fake contacts, fake people and fake customer service. There is NOTHING real about this website. Just scammers trying to take advantage of vulnerable people wanting to make a genuine connection.

Tip for consumers:
Save your money. Don't sign up.

I don't think I ever interacted with a real person that I was trying to meet. The site has symbols that you can press to show your type of interest but when you message a person as I did multiple times with multiple people you never get a response on how to meet or exchange telephone numbers. Out of all the messages that I sent I would expect at least one response from someone. The site doesn't want you to meet or you wouldn't need them anymore they just want you to keep paying.

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 naïve 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.

A Total scam! I received dozens of smiles every day from women all over the US and other conterys. I'm 53 years old and I know my playing field, there's now way on gods green earth these women would be interested in me. Not to mention the numerus messages stating they have a friend "Not on the site" that is perfect for me and she's really into my profile and here's how you contact her, Really? Do Not Join this site! The owners of this site have lots control, just don't care or they are part of the scam.

I was with another dating website for a little bit and realized quickly that it was not what I was looking for. I was looking for a sight were people didn't just have to put that they were religious or were raised Catholic, or Baptist or whatever other denomination. I wanted one where there would be chat rooms and conversations about faith and scripture and other important aspects of the Christian faith. NOW, this is what I know from all of my years spent in private Baptist schools and in church and also being a pastor's daughter - just because a person says they are a Christian doesn't mean they are SAVED. And I'm sure there is someone reading this who knows exactly what I am talking about and understands the difference. In short, anyone raised in a Bible believing God fearing church can call themselves Christian, but to be saved means that the person has a personal and intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. So, with that being said and knowing this I knew that just like on any other site there would be people who said one thing but did and lived another.

So I met 2 gentlemen. One gentleman was Mennonite. He was very nice and we had wonderful conversations both every day conversations and faith based. But he just wasn't the one for me.

The second gentleman. So let me preference this by saying, growing up my father told me he always prayed for myself and my siblings and our future spouses and he told me that when we find the right one we will just know it. So now, I'm going through my matches for the day and I must have went through about 15 of them, some I gave smiles to others I skipped over, but when I got to number 16, I stopped and literally said out loud, "He is the one." It wasn't a extra special picture or anything, it was just a picture of him in his ASUs - and let me add - I have never had any interest in military men - none what so ever! But every once of me said that he was the one. I smiled at him and from there we emailed back and forth, then after about 2 weeks we met, and then a year later we were married. And yes we are both saved. For God to lead me to him he would have to have been because God knows what my father prayed for and what I prayed for in my husband.

So I had a fine experience. I think people go into online dating with unrealistic expectations. I read the post from the gentleman who said the woman wanted him to buy her something. He could've met that same lady on the street and guess what? She probably still would've asked you to buy her something. That is just who she is, nothing to do with the website.

People have heard that church girls are naive and easy so of course people posing as Christians are going to be on the site, duh? If a guy/dog hears easy he wants it.

So I have nothing but good things to say about Christian Mingle.

So bad! In the match profile they sent me they sent me today there were people who last logged in 2, 3, 6, 10 and 11 months ago! What more can I say? I'm in Phoenix! That's all they have to offer I guess.

Christianmingle as a company is pretty honest. They promptly refunded my account when I changed from 3-months to one month.

On the negative sided:
*I was contacted by Many scamers from day one.
*Navigating the Website is Painfully Slow.
*Often some tabs (like 'who Liked me') Do Not Work.
*Pool of eligible quality singles is so small; no matter how much you expand the radius.

*It's over priced.

Tip for consumers:
Painfully slow with Lots of Scammers

Was looking for people of substance. Found a bunch of fake profiles, scammers, etc. Rarely any new people on there. Did find one nice guy, and we're friends. Thankful for that everyone else sucked. A lot of people use this site who have major life problems because they feel that Christians are more liniment, forgiving, whatever the case. I don't need any more problems. Subscription ends on the sixth then I'm done.

Every single smile I have gotten "over 100" and they immediately want to go offsite to "get to know me better". A real girl doesn't want to chat offline after a simple hello. I know phishing and scammers. Many get their profiles removed days later. Total waste of money.
