Speed Date - Dating Site Review

Speeddate.com is a total rip-off. Do not join this site. They have no customer service at all. All their subscriptions are auto-renewal, they don't tell you that when you sign up. Even after I paid the subscription fee I was still unable to use the service. Every time I tried I got a pop-up window telling me I needed to upgrade my subscription. I sent them an email and got no response. There is no way to contact these people.

This site is not functioning properly. What a disaster it is. I paid the money for good service and i get nothing. No one has even read my email. Can't always get one to show sent. I expect service or a refund of my money... I did chat with a couple of ladies. That seems to be all one can do with this site. They were complaining as well. I have asked many to respond to me so I know my mail is being received. Not one email even shows it had been read. Very hard to believe. How about keeping your subscribers happy and seeing to it that this site works properly, or you may be out of business.

I have learned to check out reviews before signing up on these scam sites. I looked at it and totally agree that this site is a full rip off and gets no respect at all from me. I will not be signing up on this one and will tell all my friends in address book to never sign up on it or get off quick!

A total scam! Ripped off for almost $200. They can quickly take your money but there no one to handle your complaints. " They're busy. May not get back to you for 72 or more hours!! Meanwhile the 3 day cancellation clock ticks away. A total rip off! Send to all your single friends. Let them know their social networking works both ways!! I'll be contacting better business right away! Shut down this site! Note --you have to clock a star to submit. This site isn't even worth a star!

If you don't look this kinda thing up, yeah, you would get taken for a ride. Glad I did!

This site is fun but not worth the money. I met ONE person out of thousands that I got in touch with and we email back and forth...not on the dating site, mind you. I did pay the subscription because of him, but it was kind of comical how after I paid for the month there were so many less notifications and less contacts. Not a big deal, but that's $40 I spent for one month! I read a previous post on this site how the person got charged even after the one month commitment. You do have to pay attention to when you pay for it and when the subscription is supposed to end. Be mindful and cancel before the month is over. These kinds of sites will prey on people who don't pay attention. I'm happy emailing with the person I met and I'm paying attention to when my subscription will end; not to be charged after that. I had more fun on this site without a paid subscription than after. Say what you can in 5 minutes and you're golden.

Speeddate.com is a total scam - I'm sorry but I checked out this website per the recommendation of a friend; I was completely disgusted with the way they run it. The idea of a speed date and having them come up automatically is great, but having to pay to interact? And getting rejection messages because you don't want to pay $100+ to find "love"? Ridiculous. There are better sites out there that are free: Plentyoffish.com (excellent site - met my current boyfriend there: for free), and evow.com (again free). Speeddate.com just isn't worth it, not to mention, it's full of superficial guys on webcams looking to nut over your photos while you talk them through their fantasy.

Yea, speed date would be fine if their site worked, absolutely horrible. They must be using card board for servers, unbelievable it should be free until they fix it. Don't waste your money!

@Angela I just stumbled across it but same here!

Speeddate.com is a scam. You give your credit card information $0.99/month identity verification, and it comes back and tells you that you just subscribed for 12-month $191 subscription, and by the way no refunds. Customer service does not budge from the no refunds policy. I've had to get the Better Business Bureau of San Francisco and my bank involved.

Please stay away from Speeddate.com. I signed up for a one month subscription, and they billed me for 12 months! I've tried many other sites, and never signed up for more than one month. Their customer service is a joke! Don't let them scam you!

This site might be a scam now ... but it really wasn't two years ago. I didn't have to pay a dime to view anything! I'm a junior going to college in Texas. I met my current boyfriend on Speeddate -- i originally got on just to goof around and talk to some random people who lived near me. I randomly got a fb message from a guy I didn't recognize and was super hesitant to even respond. But i'm glad I did! They did try to scam you before though because my boyfriend told me i was a "premium member" so thankfully he could find me via username on Facebook, or else he wouldn't have been able to contact me.

We've been together for 2 years now and holding strong ... it's kind of amazing what comes out of such a stupid website-- what used to be used as a random site to meet people turned into a SCAM. It's kind of a shame.

This is the second site I've seen with the same bulls%$t. I paid the 99 cents to see what you get, they make it seem like you can email. All you get is to send 1 message. If these people aren't even real, I would not be surprised. I sent one to one person, then tried to send another to the same person a couple of hours later, and then they want you to subscribe for minimum $30. Less per month if you really WANT 1 year..The other site I tried, there were 2 different girls, 1 in 1 location, another about 20 miles away, and they try to seem like they are coding their email to you because of the rules, and they instantly delete the profile. With the 2 in different locations, they had the SAME EXACT email address. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?I left a profile open in 1 window, opened another window and as fast as I could click send to send the email then click over to the profile, the profile was deleted. It was on Adult Friend Finder. Is it possible to give a ZERO rating???

@irritated i totally agree! The site has a bunch of snooty bitches who thinks everybody is latino or caucasion and 6ft tall! My money? No fu@k!7g way man!

Update... I just recently received this in my email.

"Your SpeedDate order is incomplete". We noticed that you did not complete your order for a SpeedDate Premium Membership, and we wanted to do everything we can to help, including offering you 20% off. To complete your order in two minutes or less, just visit our one-page, simple order form:"

So now they are trying to make me believe that I wanted to subscribe to their website!?!? I don't freaking think so!! Speeddate needs to be shut down! I wish there was some kind of legal system that would crack down on scam sites like speeddate!

STAY AWAY from speed date! All the women that have contacted me have been registered and very attractive model like women. Thus in order for me to contact them I would have to pay the websites very expensive fee! The only free part of the site is winking, and browsing, and the odd caming. I've been on this site for several months and every time I log on there is less and less that I can do.

Also when you are online to speed date don't be surprised if the lady that you cam with gives you a url to go to see her. I've reported these women and they are STILL on the site!

Speed date is a fraudulent scam site to be very much avoided!!

Thanks for the review! I was thinking about signing up on Speeddate, but now I don't think I will.

Speeddate.com is a terrible site! I receive several communications a day from users on the site, but it turns out that 90% or more of them are African scammers! And when I browse members that match my criteria, more than 50% are African or Russian scammers! When I report them to Speeddate I always get a popup that says how important my communication is, how seriously they take such reports and how they will make every effort to investigate and delete members that violate the Terms of Use. However, even the most OBVIOUS of these fraudulent profiles remain active for weeks or even months after I have reported them. Stay away from Speeddate.com.

Site is clearly bogus. Fake profiles with attractive people that bait, then switch to the reality: pure fugly orks that are looking for people to eat.
