Member Comments on SeniorPeopleMeet

I hope this site will publish an honest review regarding what a rip-off SeniorPeopleMeet is. They have no telephone number on their site although I was able to obtain their telephone number for their LA corporate office through the BBB. The corporate phone number for SPM.com is 866/727-8920.

SPM.com does not have a 3 day cancellation...they do not even a same day cancellation. There is a reason. So many people dislike them. And, by the time they add their "handling fee", it will cost as much as Match.com or eHarmony and those 2 sites do have telephone numbers clearly printed on their websites as well as polite CS Reps answering their telephones.

Please avoid SPM.com or your credit card will be charged and charged and charged each month. They appeal to a lower class of senior which is the reason their website does not ask a single word about college.

@Luda No I can assure you they were based in Chandler, Arizona. They were a collection of a couple dozen dating websites. It is a company with very little ethics all around. It's not a scam site, they just don't care about scammers being on their site. For the people who can't unsubscribe, most is people not reading carefully.. They design the site to make sure you have to complete several steps before you are actually cancelled.

@Nancy Nancy, check out okcupid.com. Totally Free. Great Site.

SPM used to be a good site. Now it is full of scammers and I agree with Debbie. My account has been taken over by a Latino woman named Cheryl who gives out her yahoo email as c_willie36. When I tried to correct this with SPM, I got no response. I can't even cancel my account. I know there have always been scammers on SPM but now SPM is a part of the scam. Absolutely disgusting. I have contacted or really tried to contact SPM at least 30 times since last Friday. So far no response. I made sure I badmouthed them on Facebook, scambook, Romance Scams and another site. Too bad I couldn't give a negative star rating.

I have used SPM for about a year and am very happy. I have met several individuals who were sincere and great people. I have also met a few women who have lied about their age or posted photos that are 10 to 15 years old. Great way to start a relationship isn't it - tell lies to meet someone? Go figure.

Anyway I highly recommend this site for those of us 50 to 75. You'll meet some nice people if you are not one of those few who can be fooled most or all of the time!

Sorry to hear - I am a genuine man and I was thinking about joining because of the number of profiles that seemed active. I am obviously having second thoughts. So sorry to hear of all the men scamming...

@Judith Hopkins I had the same thing occur... Tried to submit a question and never heard back from SPM, yet they advertize they will try to get back to you within 48hrs. Poorly managed site!

My girlfriend told me about this site as I have never joined a dating service site ever. They were running a special of $1.99 to join. Once I entered all my credit card information, I was charged a whopping $89.00. I thought this site would be interesting. I do not need to pay to meet men. I meet enough on my own. I was scammed with no live person to talk to about this. I would suggest anyone signing up for this site to get a credit card and pay cash to put 10.00 on it and use it, therefore, they cannot get more than what you have on it. I don't believe all the people they have on the site are for real. It's like those frames you purchase from a store with a family already there...this site may hire someone to just sit there and answer responses with a few "real people listed: I am sincerely angry that me, a New Yorker, got scammed.

Do not fall prey to this site. I registered for the trial period but decided against continuing within the first three weeks. I have since tried on several occasions to unsubscribe but my credit card is still being billed 5 months later. I have tried emailing them and unsubscribing repeatedly but my credit card bill arrived yet again with a charge for the service that I have not used. In my opinion the company is fraudulent and at the least unethical. Stay away!

@Robert Szeligo I expect the extra amount added to your card is sales tax. If you look on the signup page it says on there that prices shown don't include it. Have a look.

I recently purchased a month subscription. The price that flashed on the screen was for $14.99 (special deal) for 1 month. The company charged my credit card for $18.99. I would like them to credit my account for the overcharge of $4.00, or reimburse me for the protracted amount of what is left on the month. Remember there was an additional amount for actually opening the messages. Yes, I need to be reimbursed.

I signed up with SPM for a 30 days trial. Do you really think, that they will try to scam my credit card account? Thanks, dj.

I was a member on this site for about 4 months. Then I met someone I thought was great. He turned out to be someone who only wanted money from me. The first time, I gave him some - and now I know I'll never see it again. The second time I just said no and broke it off. I am an honest woman who was taken in by a crooked man. Do you not investigate the backgrounds of these people? I am out some money, but I figure I was lucky. It was not a big amount. His name is [****]. Look into it if he comes back to the site. He only wants money, but he knows how to turn a woman's head. I fell for it once, but not again. I wanted you people to know some of what is going on. I'd like an apology from you. I trusted and got taken.

I'm in the same boat. Almost done raising the kids and ready for me time. Are there any reputable sites for the 40-50+?

Everyone be careful. If you try to cancel your subscription the media company that run SPM will automatically take your money without your permission. Modern day stealing.

@Scammed Exactly my experience - I even put on my profile to send a message rather than a "Flirt". On top of that, I started receiving direct emails from "members" of various dating websites! This world is a dangerous place ... thank you SPM.com for making it a little more dangerous!

As soon as I joined, they asked for more money to make sure messages get thru. My messages are not getting thru at any rate.

This entire website is a scam. The person I met on this site had a dual nationality, and ended up scamming me big-time. When I tried to report it to the website customer service, nothing was done other than recommend I block this user. He used the username of brokenknees45. He also used someone else's identity to say where he was from, and I believe the pictures were also stolen showing me who he was. I am pretty sure the entire website is out of Ghana and is used as scams. Don't waste your money or your time coming here.

@margaret The company is managed by People Media Inc. Match.com bought Seniorpeoplemeet.com in 05/2010. I believe People Media is a questionable company at best and Match.com is reluctant to own up to making a bad mistake purchasing SeniorPeopleMeet.com. What's worst is Match.com left the management of the site to People Media. My suspicion is the company is actually out of Nigeria, not America. I really doubt it is located in Texas or Arizona, which is how it lists itself. You may just be better off reporting incident to your credit card company and closing your account.

I got screwed also, someone hacked my account and now i can't log on without resubmitting my credit card information to be used for tracking my account. I can't find a phone number to call. What should i do? Or am i screwed?
