Verified Reviewer |Fraudulent charge to my credit card from Luxembourg
- - A $299.70 charge was billed without approval and is illegal.
- - Refund now; legal action may be pursued with added costs and interest.
My credit card has been charged again for fees that I did not approve. An amount of $299.70 was charged on my card illegally.
This is not being taken lightly and is illegal on a number of levels.
I can see that there are a number of complaints from people to do with your site with exactly the same illegal conduct.
I want a full refund, Don't tell me I need to wait. This is not an acceptable or a reasonable excuse.
This is money that I will be charge interest on.
Failure to refund my card in full will result in legal action where all costs and fees incurred from seeking a repayment, will be added to the legal file. Any interest I incur from the bank/credit card company will also be added to the debt.

- No many
- Took out fees i did not agree to and no refund
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Keep a close eye on Credit card charges. Many people on this site are scammers also.
Concern for Innocent Public
- - Site is a scam and extorts money.
- - Fake profiles collect data and track you.
- - Auto-deduct after cancellation; lawsuits are threatened.
Do not engage with this website. They are a scam and extort money from global citizens.
Fake profiles established to gather as much information about you as possible. When you cancel your once off subscription they will still auto deduct money from you. When you block your credit card to protect your finances they start with threats of lawsuits. They have even delivered them to people's homes, hence the fake profiles to find out all your personal information and track you.
Stay away from them. Please could someone establish a global news agency to expose these people and shut them down for good.
User's recommendation: Don't sign up danger
Cannot connect with customer service tells me they already have my email - totally ludicrous
Customer service is impossible to contact as it says they already have my email. If they have my email they can contact me and deal with my issue.
User's recommendation: Beware!!

Verified ReviewerI must have been not in my right mind when I signed up for AS
- - Member of J7Dream.com with regular dates.
- - Noted fraudulent sites; questioned 'academic' in the name; cancellation led to charges.
I'm also a member of J7Dream.com
and I have had dates there regularly. Having used a good dating site for months, I didn't know how fraudulent dating sites could be.
I don't know why AS used the word "academic" in their name. You can hardly find anyone with higher education degree, but there are a lot of people who can't even spell their job title.
I thought I had cancelled my membership, but they charged me for another year. It was a very complicated task to really cancel and stop these scoundrels from pilfering money from my bank account.
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified ReviewerDisappointed Service
- - I had a membership on Academic Singles, found a partner and canceled, but profile remains active and attracts messages, straining the relationship.
No resolved and I am disgusted with this dating site
I have had full membership to academic singles . And I found a partner on academic singles so I cancelled my membership.
But the way academic singles work my profile is still active even though I have cancelled it. So I have men contacting me. It is wasting their time and mine. And now my partner has spilt up from me .
Because he thinks I am actively looking at men. So academic singles are not helping to keep healthy relationships going.
- Cancelled my full membership still getting notifications from men
Preferred solution: Full refund

Thanks
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered
User's recommendation: Great and reliable
I was overcharged
- - Charged $264 for a yearly subscription, not a one-month fee.
- - Says they were misled, requests refund, removal of details, and a reply or phone.
Hi,
I was lead to believe l was joining Academic Singles for a one month fee, yet when l looked at my statement today l was charged $264 which is most likely for a yearly subscription. I did NOT want a yearly subscription, nor was l expecting to PAY this astronomical amount!!!
I want you to remove my details on line and refund me back my money.
I feel like l have been mislead into believing what l was purchasing. I was conned!
Kindly reply to this email or phone me asap.

To Academic singles . Very poor site . Scam taking it further.
- - Enthusiastic contact from annemare.k.10@***.com; questions dodged and meeting refused; later emails from younger people raised safety concerns.
To Academic singles
I have been contacted by annemare.k.10@***.com. Who was very enthusiastic. I made a poor decision and gave the contact my email and phone number. I then got suspicious because she did not respond to questions about her about her supposed local area. She also made excuses not to meet. I have also received emails form 40 -50 year olds Ellie and Brandy who are in their 40s and I am in my 70s . One of which talked about business and so I am thinking they are *** Also as a retired academic I would not think a young retail assistant or someone who has little grasp of the English language would be a good match. In other words the academic singles is not academic and has an algorithm for matching that is totally shot. I think this is a very unsafe site. It is only a matter of time before somones identity is stolen. If this hasnt happened already.
I suspect this email is invalid and owned by academic singles. But I shall be taking this further. Also I tried to show my proof of purchase but you did nt give me one and you would not accept my file showing my bank account. Yes I am getting the picture

User's recommendation: Do Not have anything to do with this dangerous site
Nothing Academic
The title leads you to believe that you may meet like minded academics. A misleading platform, an international company.
User's recommendation: Don’t waste your time or money.

I want to cancel my subscription. I have been trying for a month with page always having technical issues.
This has been an ongoing issue. There is no phone support.
Preferred solution: Full refund
You have taken my money...
- - Believes Hitch charged $10/mo.
- - Charged $246.88 by an academic singles site I never opened or agreed to; I demand a refund and account deactivation.
Hello I opened up the dating website Hitch, and believed I paid a $10 fee for a month. I have actually been charged $246.88 from academic singles website which I never opened and never agreed to. I demand this Money back asap and for you to let me deactivate my account.
Academic Singles - be2 dating website
- - Charged 79.90 instead of 19.98 after signup.
- - Payment information was misleading and I asked for a refund and cancellation.
March 2017 signed up for Academic Singles believed to cost 19.98 but instead 79.90 was taken. Payment information was deliberately misleading.
As soon as realised how much they had taken (this information is not auto-generated) I asked them to return payment and cancel subscription. I also wrote to info@***.com.au who provided positive review of company but no answer. I complained to credit card company. I have been advised to speak to Fair Trading.
This is a scam of an organisation based in Luxembourg hence redress is limited. There are plenty of other negative reviews about them I have since seen so I am just adding my voice to urge people not to use them.
