Test Academic Singles for freeNothing Firstly, you sign up for a month paying R396 and they give you no option to cancel, keep saying the option will be available in a few days, a... nd 4 weeks later it’s not there. Secondly, out of no where an amount 3 times the monthly subscription comes out of you account the following month, a whooping R999, while you are still waiting for a Cancelation option to appear, I have screenshots of this. With no explanation of what the actual subscription is for. 1 month, 2 moths, 3 months. So all in all in 31 days am R1397 out of pocket.Thirdly, there are no academic singles, it’s dull of fake losers, I’d vouche for Elite Singles any day. I came across security guards, drivers, and a lot of rubbish.DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE and they still won’t cancel it, to continue taking money from you, they require complicated Cancelation process, 32 days later, I’m waiting for the option to appear on the settings. «»
Stay away !!!from them why do you allow this scam firm to ply your site with fake review???DO NOT SIGN UP. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO STAY HERE A YEAR A... ND LOOKED IN. THEY DO NOT HAVE MANY GENUINE PEOPLE. I CAME ACROSS 5 people IN 9 MONTHS. THE OTHER ARE FAKE AND NOT RELATED TO ACADEMIA IN ANY WAY. NO ISSUE ON THAT PER SE, JUST THAT SITE DOES NOT DELIVER AND THE GREATEST NUMBER ARE FAKE PROFILES AT BEST OR SCAM ARTIST AT WORST. MEN AND WOMEN PLEASE BE AWARE AND DO NOT SIGN UP. NOTE THEIR STANDARD RESPONSE TO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. THEY HAVE NO GENUINE RATING ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. CHECK IT OUT BEFORE YOU PAY A PENNY. FOR THE FEW OF US STUCK ON THE SITE FOR NOW PLEASE JUST PASS US BY, AS WE WILL MOVE ON. YOU HAVE A 95% CHANCE OF FINDING A SCAM ARTIST. I BELIEVE THEY LIKELY WORK WITH THE SITE, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD TAKE DOWN REPORTED SCAMMERS!!!!!!!!!!!'! «»
NothingTotal scam, they take your money, make it almost impossible to cancel. Do not subscribe to this site, it is a scam
There's nothing to like about this website...R999 was deducted from my account without my authorization. Scam...big scam
Academic singles is a scammer full of fake profiles. They took R999, from my account without authority. Big big scammersScammers
NothingThey are a fraudulent business that scams unsuspecting victims by forcing them to pay for a premium service in order to have a sub-par online ... dating experience. Don't waste your time on these scammers or any dating site that prompts you to pay in order to experience the bare minimum a dating service has to offer you. «»
I must say the site looking very professional and well organizeed with charming members. Sadly I had had bad experience with members who were interest... ed in me. I joined excitedly and immediately upgraded to premium membership. My experiences with some members were suspecious, disturbing and scary. I have written an email to the management of the site and am awaiting for a reply. I really am worried about the safety or my personal details.I know it's not all members who are trying to scam some new membersHad or who are fake there are very genuine and good ones out there, but I am still shocked at my experiences. Had I not paid already, I would have unsubscribed immediately. «»
Absolute rubbish site, has no content, asks dumb questions that can be answered either way.Only gives you 7 matches per day, has no way of terminati... ng the site.Operates like a typical 419 Scammer, I have no idea how you rate this site so highly. It should be a 0/5 site. Alone for this issue, you have a responsibility to not further companies business interests that are Financially Fraudulent in near all countries around the world. «»
I got unsuitable candidates - blue collar workers (with kids), not the academic calibre at all. I specified batchelors degree and NO KIDS. I also spec... ified a preferred salary bracket - that was ignored in the matching. I do not want to do THAT screening. That's the service I pay for. When I complained they said, just delete the unsuitable ones.... «»
It is just rip off: money stolen from members; we chose to pay x and then we realize that a sum more than 10 times more was taken from us. A lot of fa... ke profiles, including some scammers from Africa, or people who have nothing more than a primary school education.Absolutely to avoid! «»
bad customer service, I have exchanged tons of emails til my issue was sorted out
