Dating Direct www.datingdirect.com

Joined Direct dating for a few days, DD sent me an e-mail saying I had 7 e-mails waiting, upon opening I had no e-mails. Lots of gimmicks, bombarded with e-mails from DD saying how many people were looking at my profile.

Awaiting a refund under their terms and conditions “the 14 day cooling down period”, when I wrote cancelling my membership after only two days asking for a refund under their terms, I received an e-mail back saying they had cancelled my auto-renewal, this is not what I asked for!

Watch this space.....

Cannot believe it. What a waste of money. Have been trying to cancel subscription before renewal only to find I was too late and it had already renewed. Fine print also indicated that it would not be refunded as a renewal. Sooooo annoyed and will not be doing any more dating online. Also found that it was part of match.com, which I had tried already and chose something different as that was also a waste of time, money and effort. Keep well away.

Signed up with a 6-month subscription (my mistake!). As soon as I logged in it became clear that the site is full of fake profiles. I have my suspicions about how these fake profiles get created - I'm sure you can work out what I'm thinking.

Within an hour of joining I decided to exercise my right to cancel and receive a refund. I eventually tracked down the customer service form and submitted a ticket. No response. I did it again - no response. I did this five more times, all with no response. I called my card company, repudiated the transaction and blocked any further transactions from them.

Also, using the Wayback machine I eventually tracked down a customer service phone number (they don't publish one on their current site) and spoke to a Match.com customer service rep (they're the same company as match.com) who told me he would process a refund.

Incidentally, the fact that I've raised a number of support tickets with them has allowed me to calculate that their customers have raised over 3.1 million support tickets (google the German Tank Problem to find out how I did this). I suspect I'm not alone in being unhappy with their service...

I, stupidly, joined paying a 6 month subscription, not cheap! I've been bombarded with emails telling me how popular my profile has been and who had been viewing it. However, when I click on the 'view profile' button I am presented with a raft of member profiles and find I'm unable to locate the particular member I'm looking for. I've wasted so much time going through the FAQ and nothing matches up with the issues I have. I've tried contacting Datong Direct by a phone number stated which is non-existent and sent two emails which do not appear to get sent. Absolute rubbish and so time consuming I'm losing the will to live. There should be legislation in place to protect people such as myself who are simply trying to find a partner from being so ruthlessly exploited.

I have just viewed the site to see what it is like and was actually very shocked when I immediately got so many contacts from my home area of Hereford and a lot of these ladies I can actually say that I would be very happy to contact.

But due to investigating all these reviews about the program and it's price and complications many have stated that they had closing their membership when needing to, I'm actually quite worried about this due to it's cost and from the explanations given from so many others that have used it.

I really feel like I am letting you down and can understand why you are so frustrated.

I genuinely am going to have to think hard about this as it looks like a big financial risk to take.

I'm putting this note on here to show that I am actually looking for Mrs Right.

Sorry if I don't go ahead with it Ladies

Take Care

DON'T waste your money on this pathetic excuse for a dating site, it's daylight robbery and you will NOT find love only pictures some pretty girls who are phantom profiles! I joined before I read the review stupidly , they tool 40 quid off me and I deleted my profile after 2 weeks in discust . I sent courteous emails to over 50 girls who matched my criteria and I matched theirs with no replys , I even contacted a friend via text who had a profile on the website to arrange to contact her , she agreed but guess what we were not able to contact each other through the website even though we were paid up members . Basically you can email to you are blue in the face but messages do not get through ! When I phoned up to complain I was fobbed off with excuses, and the member of staff did a test email which came through fine then she basically insulted me and said that my search was too narrow , by the way my search was to any girl between 34 and 44 in a 100 mile radius ??? They boast about their being 60,000 members online at the moment , how many of these are real .

There are loads of better websites out here , please read the reviews on the Internet before you spend good money .

And never trust a dating site like Direct Dating that doesn't have a customer number to contact the company !

Just had terrible time on this site with one guy, I was contacted by this man in US army uniform, good looking guy says he's 6' 2" and a Commander, widowed.

Says he is on peace keeping mission in Baghdad, if I remember he was registered somewhere in Scotland. I didn't give him any money but watch out for the Pineapple Plantation in Ghana and the son he and the son asked for money a couple of times and that was it, I was out of there.

Another nutter fell in love with my picture, we haven't had a date he just keeps emailing me. The clue is he plays a wind instrument.

joined for 6 mouths. joined to meet/date/find girlfriend . had so call 600 +views no messages. sent 100 messages only had 5 replys but no dates , women just ignore you. auto renew is hard to activate no email contact adversiver/ took lot get phone number . why is match.com same/ ran by same company , seems match bought out old dating direct . cant understand ladies paying to join but then ignoring messages not dating. seems site full players, messers ,mind game merchants . meet date genuie people looking for 1to 1 realtionships no DONT WASTE UR MONEY ON THIS SITE.

took out 6mouths subscription . to point of joing dating direct was to meet/ date femails find girlfriend . had over 600 views sent over 100 messages you don't get replys ladies ignore you . auto renew is hard to cancel complicated . don't no why ladies pay money if they want date seems site full of mind game merchants messers ,players. gave me poor view of internet dating.

I took out a 6-month subscription with DatingDirect.com and even though I had cancelled the "auto-renewal" (a ridiculously complicated process that they obviously don't want you to manage to do), 6 months later without warning or any communication at all they stole £137 from my PayPal account.

If it wasn't for the PayPal email I received, I would never have known about it unless I happened to spot it on my bank statement some time later as I received no communication from Datingdirect.com at all, even after they took my money - a complete ripoff.

DO NOT TRUST DATINGDIRECT.COM AND DO NOT EXPECT PAYPAL TO HELP YOU IN ANY WAY, THEY DON'T CARE EITHER.

Match.com appear to be the same company so I wouldn't trust them or Dating Direct.
