iSingles is a scam! I have been getting harrassed, cyber bullied and threatened by several members yet there is no option to report something like this which is very weird. Also there is no option for deleting my account and when I've tried to block the members who have either been harrassing, threatening or cyber bullying me it hasn't worked because afterwards they are able to connect to me through the iSingles webcam communicator. An investigation needs to be put into this site. One last thing I was once forced into having cyber sex with someone because if I didn't they would haunt me down and do terrible things to me and my family. This site is a scamful discrase and needs put down.
After having been on isingles for 2 months my Gold membership runs out 31 July. I must say that with 2 exceptions the vast majority of the women in there are a waste of time. Either they are unwilling to chat as the profile you present them with has to be perfect or what I have experienced in the vast majority of cases they are actually West African scammers. Their ploy is very simple they claim that they live in the UK but are actually in West Africa at present, either working, visiting or in many instances their whole family has been wiped out and they are all alone in the world. They want to return to the UK yet have no mates here, no family or even somewhere to stay. You can guess the rest , they are looking for a meal ticket. PLEASE BEWARE they will do anything to convince they are real including stealing other peoples pictures but with a bit of thought you can find them out and then they will just disappear. Unless you are looking for a mad time dont use this site at all.
Hi,
I joined isingles about a month ago. Have to say what a nightmare; lots of messages from married men, from men who live at totally opposite ends of the country who clearly just wantt o do the whole e-mail chat thing. If your looking to meet men to date my experience is this is not a good site to do that. I have to say I've had a much better experience with a free dating site - pleanty of fish and have met a number of men in person!
I decided to subscribe for 1 month only as Gold member and changed account status to standard member. Account said Gold status would run out at end of month; however money was taken from my account and status changed back to Gold. I got round it by obtaining a new bank card so no more money could be taken from my account. Now they are preventing me from reading any messages at all - today I have updated my profile, taking off all photos and personal info and have given stupid false details, stated the website is a con, and have given a false email addy. AVOID THIS WEBSITE LIKE THE PLAGUE!
Subscribed once as Gold member got nothing but scammers from Nigeria who had a sick grandmother, they then changed the website so you could not unsubscribe and start frauduently milking your Debit/Credit card every month. Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hate this site it distroyed me im so upset the guy i met sed such horrible things to me it was unbelievable. please be aware if you use the site its my own fault!!! make sure u know whom your talking to and if they are for real i still cant get over it!!!!!!1
ISINGLES if u wanna delete your account remove ANYTHING with your details ie pictures numbers information location all of that change your email addy on the site to a fake one and change password to something you wont remember wam bam done and dusted im off to do it now cz isingles is pish
A good lesson for us all including myself.
With billions of webpages online it can oftentimes be hard to discern if certain sites are legitimate or scam and virus based. Luckily there are several online tools that users can take advantage of that will allow them to determine the legitimacy of the websites. These simple tools can show users how long a site has existed, if the site contains viruses and even the country where the site is located.

Step 1
Check with the Whois directory, which is the ultimate way to find information about websites. Whois information can provide such statistics as when the site was created, who owns the site, the address of the site owner and even contact information for the site owner. If a site looks like a scam, the Whois directory can let you know if it was just created and if the supposed "U.S. based store" is registered in Nigeria or some other high fraud area. It's a good rule of thumb that if a site is registered as "Private," meaning no info is sho
I wondered why my mobile phone bill was unusually high - i singles have been charging 5.00 per text two per month- I don't ever remember signing up for this - it's criminal.

I am extremely hacked off by iSingles.co.uk. my wife decided to join to make online FRIENDS only. Instead all she seems to get is weirdos asking if she is up for fun, or is she a bored housewife. this has left a strain on our marriage. she would like to unsubscribe from this site but find that she is unable to.Any genuine dating/friendship site should allow you to unsubscribe when you so desire.
I'm sorry to heart about what's happened that's something that happened to me too so your wife isn't alone and you have my sympathies. I think what your wife should do is the same as I'm going to do, just don't ever go on the site again and use sites which you both know are safe and won't be harrassed by just anyone
I never joined isingles. I dont use internet dating websites, but have received e-mails to my account (how they got my address is a mystery) from a women in russia called anathstasia asking to be my friend, Saying she found me on isingles. Im not on the site, never have bin. Definatly something dodgy going on with this site. AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAUGE. Do not download any images attatched to any email you receive direct to your account as my mcafee detected a trojan embeded in the attached documents. Report to your provider if you do receive any emails in this manner.
she was telling lies - she is a scammer so you shouldn't believe a word that she says. She got your email address from a list - always check out the person on sites like www.romancescam.com
i emailed support@isingles.co.uk and requested a refund for the text messages i had recieved from them (4 x sms = 17.02 !!!!) said i was writing to BBC watchdog about their company. They emailed back and said i could either have a refund to my paypal account or a cheque.
you can stop messages by replying with the word 'stop'
or email support@isingles.co.uk with your user name and profile number
or telephone 02081234457
thanks tigerbunny for providing the telephone number, I'm going to phone them and report what's happened to me whilst being a member on iSingles
my fiance joined this site after we had an argument,he done it out of spite and probably to throw the "plenty of more fish" gag in my face,he never met any of the females and he promised to remove the profile,weeks down the line and his profile is still glowing like a beacon to the whole universe..we cannot move on,oh and the women are definately real,my fella cannot shake of the e-mails and text messages.
i like isingles but for some reason i get no pictures or images in my account why is this how do i fix this problem
I have to say that maybe im one of the very lucky ones out there, i met my partner of nine months via this web site and we are very much in love.
Vic
he probably isn't what he seems Vic, also he could be secretly pretending to be in love with you to get money out of you eventually. I'm telling you no one on that site can be trusted and their all scammers. I know from my experience on iSingles.
I followed a link to this site via Facebook, and have since reported it to facebook (not that they'd care.) My alarm bells rang as soon as it required me to SMS in order to receive an activation code. AVOID AVOID AVOID!
Absolute crap! I got two emails, one from a blond and one from a brunette both claiming that they left this country after their father was murdered! both went with mother to live in Nigeria where both were robbed! sound familiar to anyone? How can these scumbags get away with operating?
crazy and old people sending me disgusting messages etc. i would like to delete my profile from iSingles.co.uk
I wnt 2 deletd my account and it wont let me pls help me
I had the same problem Rachel but I found out how. What you do is you go to the page where you log in and you click on FAQ you'll find the answer in there.
How do u delete account?? Michael (305793) is on here trying 2 blag money saying his wife died and he is in Nigeria working he blatently asks 4 cash and wants it sent via Western Union as the money can't b traced lmao scumbag lowlife
you type in iSingles in google, click on the first iSingles sentence that is on the next page, then you will come to the page where you log in, click on a section called FAQ and the answer is in there. Reply to this if you have any problems. Good luck
young lads turning webcams on, with out looking at the age of a profile first.waste of time.
The worst dating site I've ever encountered by a mile! I should start by saying that i'm not especially unattractive, i have put some effort into my profile, attached pictures and have used dating sites in the past, with some success (in terms of getting responses from members of the opposite sex).
On isingles, I have sent out dozens of carefully crafted e-mails to local girls whose profiles I liked. I've had one response to an e-mail, and probably less than 5% of the people I contacted looked at my profile. That makes me a little suspicious about the women on the site - do they exist? Are they old members whose profiles have been left on many moons after their subscriptions expired?
Whats worse for me is that every day I do indeed get unsolicited messages from usually very beautiful women who 'love my profile, think i'm sexy etc' and urge me to contact them via their private emails. They never live anywhere close to me and often their english is very flawed. None of these women ever actually read your profile (you can check) - seems very likely to me that the vast majority of messages are from scam artists.
I'm not generally prone to paranoia or conspiracy but this site has scam written all over it, from the lack of genuine punters to the daily grind of deleting messages from beautiful wealthy women looking for sincere and kind men for relationships, and happen to like you without even looking at your profile!
A complete waste of money.
i havent set up an acount on the website or anything like that it doesnt even look official. I just got loads of emails of some russian (i dunno i think it was in russian) SCAM SCAM SCAM do not go on this website please
isingles not a good site to be on..as everyone else previously said there is no way to unsubscribe and every month you get charged..a rip off something not right about this site..
why no contact numbers?
why is there no way to cancell your account?
there is a premium rate text to delete your account but av yet to try it
isingles sent multiple emails with pictures lifted of google images claiming they were girls living in the African nations with UK father. 5 girls claimed that there fathers had infacted died. DO NOT JOIN THIS SITE AS IT IS A SCAM TO EMPTY YOUR PAY PER GO MOBILE OF CREDIT AND ALSO SENDS SCAM EMAILS
i think this websites is a scam because it is only getting people on dates so that is why i want to cancel it.
phew, i joined but was suspicious about entering my mobile number so i entered a false one. I'm getting messages from gorgeous single girls but obviously I cant access them cus they want my activation sms number, this made me even more suspicious, so i googled the site and came accross similar stories.. This site should be investigated as it was promoted through a bonefide ste.
I agree, there is no information given on how to delete your account. Don't join!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this site is a scam do not join or b it at yr own risk beware folks
this site is a scam disgracefull !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! enybody can accsesyour email address .
got email from russian said she got my e mail from isingles . can spmbody tell me how wen it was my email for personal friends . has sombody i know give it to her can enyone tell me .
I tried to log in and my password it would'nt accept both of them and when asked for my email address it did'nt recognise it, theres no contact number to tell them, you cant unsubscribe.
As others have said 1) no way to unsubscribe and 2) no way to contact the operators. They also sent me an e-mail with my password in clear text which indicates a scant regard for their members security.
Rip off! I was charged 5 for an activation code then 15 for 3 msg notifications.
Potential SCAM!
Posted a basic profile & got a message from a very attractive girl, only to be asked to subscribe to read the message. Probably a Honey Trap!
No Contact details!
No information about how to unsubscribe!
Poking aroundwith Internet Query tools identifies it as being run from Israel!
Don't risk your phone or CC details unless they clean up their act and provide solid credentials and contact details.
same here, tried it said free, but it ain't, charges you for a month, and automatically renewal charge, to your phone bill from sending that text.
rip off! beware of this site it's a scam. quote "free to join" cost me £5 on a text activation code, with promises of letting you know of new members etc by txt, i would imaging that these will be premium rate txt's you receive. And with no way to cancel or get in touch with the provider. Join at you own risk! you have been warned!
