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.

@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!

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!

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 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?

I have NOT given my credit card yet. One should be able to contact a company by phone. I worked hard to make a proper presentation of my life and family. I was born at night, but not last night. In the time I spent looking at the site, I found over fifty women in New England and Quebec who had the qualities my family would find acceptable. One must always have faith in the versatility of life. It would be sad to think many could be fakes. Peace.

Here we go again with another scummy dating web-site. I had nothing but problems with E-harmony and Zoosk. And now I am getting the run-around with Seniorpeoplemeet.com. I use only 2 passwords, and now that I want to check on my subscription, I can't access it , and I am getting nothing but games and B.S. from their "help" people. I will never, ever use on-line personals again. They are all bogus scum bags once they get your credit card info. You get flirts and suggestions from people who aren't even there anymore. Or they will send you a flirt from someone, who didn't actually send it to you. I have verified this more than once now. I am frustrated beyond words...can you tell ????

Out of 14 5 star comments, 9 are from Lisa (an employee of the site). This sure cuts down on the possitive rating ratio. Why are they even allowed to rate this site if they are employees. And why is there no 0 rating?

@michelle I believe that everyone on SeniorPeopleMeet.com who has ran into the same problem with their email being changed and their password being changed should set up a website, get together, and file a class action law suit. Maybe if they are the ones losing money they will either shut down or fix the problem. I would not be surprised if the site is not run by some of the very scammers from Ghana that are scamming us.

What a sham. I got past the scammers because I learned to spot them pretty quickly from Match.com. I hit the report a concern button and reported two of them. Never got a response. I cancelled my auto renewal so my renewal runs out May 2. Now, today I get an email telling me my email address on my account was changed and that if I didn't request this change to contact Customer Service immediately. I sent an email and it was returned MAILER.DAEMON. I sent another one. Now my username and/or password have been changed so I cannot even get onto my account to remove it.

Seems pretty funny that as it gets close to time for my membership to expire I am locked out of my account so whoever changed all of my information can easily click the renew subscription button (or whatever it said) and have it charged to my account. Good luck with that because I have already informed my bank and have a hold put on my debit card. If this site is truly concerned as they keep posting on here why don't they stop these things from happening? I can't help but believe that the site itself is somehow connected to these mysterious changes to my account. I will be talking to a lawyer about this if my problem is not resolved immediately. Enough is enough!
