Burned through $390 on CharmDate before realizing the whole platform is designed to keep you trapped in their paid messaging system forever. Every time I tried to share an email address or phone number with someone I'd been talking to for weeks, the messages would get blocked or deleted - they claim it's for "safety" but really they just want you paying per message indefinitely. Saw the site had terrible ratings on PopaHO early on but figured I'd give it a shot anyway since a buddy said he had luck with these Eastern European dating sites. The fact that charmdate actively prevents you from taking conversations off-platform should tell you everything you need to know about whether these connections are real. Complete waste of time and money.

This site is a complete waste of money. The girls on here are professionals at getting your money in the site itself is incredibly expensive to communicate with them.. I spent over $10,000 communicating with a girl that was always one story after another. One reason after another one excuse after another, even after one year of communication and talks about marriage she stopped made excuses about why she wasn't able to access a phone outside of the website. This was a Ukrainian girl and said that it wasn’t safe or that the phone was broken or the reception was bad. Just lies, lies, lots…. Trust me do not go near this site. Better to throw your money in the ocean. These girls are exceptional at getting you to feel good and safe and appreciated - but their intentions are not to every actually be with you.. they say one thing and do another.

The dating features charge a bit higher, which is somewhat out of my expectations. Simply select the ones that cater to your needs.

The whole site is designed to have you constantly purchase credits to talk to women that probably don't exist. And if you email them your direct contact details charmdate actually very the email and block out your contact details. No privacy or anything. It is a scam.

I've been on this site on and off over the past 12 months. I've favorited dozens of beautiful women, many who I paid to chat with during the first 6 months. Please read the following... This dating site has a very sophisticated algorithm in place such that every time you log on, you're going to find the same women that you hit the heart ❤️ icon "ALWAYS ON LINE, 24/7/365" I believe that there's probably a small percentage of genuine, real profiles on this dating site but overall...... these women are "MODELS" which I've personally confirmed through several means. Unless you're independently wealthy and don't care about being scammed, "STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE"

Fake dating site. They are paying lady's to keep you buying credits. Ones the things are getting serious, they want your very private information ( like copy of your photo ID and copy of your utility bills) to " check " your identity. This is ridiculous. I don't see anyone who will do this. Save your money. This site won't get you in a serious relationship.

After communicating in very good faith with several women, they all were reluctant to offer their contact info through the service even though this is a feature benefit of the site. It became evident to me that the women I communicating with all wanted to keep letter writing , calls , gift giving ongoing. It's obvious that at least the ladies I contacted were being compensated to keep communications going.

Only interested in making money. I feel sure these " ladies " are on a commission to keep you exchanging emails, letters, video call. They never give info to the other i.e. email addresses, WhatsApp, Facebook info. Maybe some of these " ladies " are false. 1 I was talking to was also on anastasia also had photos on posted in magazines!!!!

There " ladies " are paid to keep you paying for more credits. They are " VERIFIED " only by their OWN application forms . Unless you have 100.000 to waste don't bother.

The pics are of models who are likely getting compensated for the amount of time they can keep you online and chatting. I had a chat with a gal I was interested in go through a bizarre demonstration where she was supposedly trying to give me her number. Huge waste of time. I then wrote a sign to hold up showing my hotmail email address and she first said there were connection issues but on another chat she appeared to not know what hotmail is which doubt very much. Sh wanted another chat and was going to go thru the same demonstration as earlier. Charmdate is definitely a scam.

I never signed up to this scam site, my details were passed to charm date by the scammers at regionbang.com. I have requested to unsubscribe but they refuse to do this because they obviously think me a fucking sap.
