Belfast-Dating-Site.co.uk review

The first impression we get from the landing page of Belfast-Dating-Site.co.uk, is not too bad. We were greeted by a seemingly happy couple, who, apparently, come from Belfast. This website, which is run by Venntro Media Group LTD, registered in Slough, in the UK, also provides the user with some brief information about online-dating in general, and about the service offered by Belfast-Dating-Site. We wanted to learn more about this dating portal, to see whether this platform can be trusted. We set up an account and went through the Terms and Conditions.

Our investigation revealed that only the registration is free. To communicate with others and get full access to all functionalities of this website, one must become a paying member. Furthermore, we found out that any subscription will be renewed automatically, for the same subscription term as the original purchase. From our experience, we can clearly say that this is an indicator of a scam, with a subscription rip-off.

At first glance, Belfast-Dating-Site.co.uk seems to be a good choice, when searching for singles in the Belfast area. The website provides the user with some good information about online-dating, how to join, and what to expect from Belfast-Dating-Site.co.uk. However, after reviewing the Terms and Conditions of this website, we know that one must become a paying member, to chat with others, and get full access to all functionalities. Additionally, we found out that your subscription will be automatically renewed, for the same period that it was originally purchased.

Excerpt from the GTC (as of 02/01/2023)

Unless stated otherwise, when your current Subscription expires, your Subscription will automatically be renewed for the same Subscription term that you originally purchased. Subscription fees may increase for the duration of your Subscription, however you will be informed in writing of the proposed changes and given a reasonable opportunity to terminate your contract with us prior to those changes coming into effect. You will be billed for your renewal when your current Subscription term expires unless cancelled.

The Membership

When you first join Belfast-Dating-Site.co.uk, which is operated by Venntro Media Group LTD, based in Slough, in the UK, you will become a free member. However, with this free membership, you can only use some functions for free. You can create your profile, upload a photo, search for people by county, create your favourites list, and send winks. So far, so good.

But when you want to contact others, you must become a paying member. With a full membership, you will be able to send and receive messages, and chat online with instant messenger. For a comprehensive experience, becoming a full member is crucial because, without that, you cannot contact others. However, bearing in mind that a full membership will only lead you into a subscription trap, we can clearly consider this website to be a scam and a rip-off.

Negative reviews

Apart from what we discovered, we could not find any further reviews, or information, about this website on the internet. However, we found numerous negative reviews about the website’s operator. Former users state that the membership is extremely difficult to cancel. They have reported that you can only cancel online, but the company has disabled the cancellation button. Other users complain that after they initially bought a subscription, for Belfast-Dating-Site.co.uk, the company used the user’s card details, to sign them up for another subscription, of double the price, on another website.

Unfortunately, our review of Belfast-Dating-Site.co.uk, showed it to be a subscription rip-off scam. The company behind this platform advertises with a free membership. Nonetheless, you must become a paying member, if you want to have full access to all functions. Without a subscription, you cannot send and receive any messages. As soon as you become a paying member, you are in the subscription trap. Your contract will be renewed automatically, for an indefinite period, and it is extremely difficult to cancel the subscription.
