DatingOver50s.co.uk review

DatingOver50s.co.uk is allegedly a dating website for users who are over the age of 50 and offers free services for users to experience. The colour theme of the landing page made the site seem like a website for dental health. However, by reading the text, we can see that the site offers dating services. Registration is free, but the site does ask for personal information such as preferences and email addresses. Different offers and promotions would be sent to the provided emails. The site seemed real because all the member profiles showed images of people who looked over 50.

The platform is run by Venntro Media Group LTD, which is based in Slough, UK. This company is well known for using dirty methods and having subscription rip-offs. There is no point in taking the risk of joining this site. Member databases from WhiteLabelDating.com are integrated into this site along with other websites to create a big network of companies with user details and contacts. In this review, we explain why the subscriptions offered on DatingOver50s.co.uk are a scam and why payments here are unsafe.

After registering on DatingOver50s.co.uk, users are given a free membership. This website is part of an online network that is connected with other websites. That means the members of DatingOver50s.co.uk are also shared with other websites that belong to the same network. Member profiles and data are transferred to other websites even if those users never registered for any of the other sites. The operator claims that this would improve the opportunity for users to find a dating partner.

What users need to be aware of is that, by registering, they accept that everything they post will be available throughout all websites belonging to this network. Therefore, members who view profiles or message other users might have been registered on a completely different platform. This raises concerns about privacy issues.

Cancellation process

Although registration on DatingOver50s.co.uk is free, users must become paying members first if they want to start chatting and using different features to experience the platform. The different packages on this platform come at different prices. These packages are subscriptions that renew automatically which is something most users experience on dating platforms. However, it is only useful if the site is legit.

Cancellation may only be requested by completing the online cancellation process on the website. However, according to former users, they experienced some bad things during this process. First of all, it seems that these cancellation requests are ignored. Secondly, users are not authorised to delete their profiles. And finally, these subscriptions renew automatically, making this website a scam. From what we see, it is clear that this site uses some sort of rip-off method.

Excerpt from the GTC (as of 15/12/2023)

When your current Subscription expires, your Subscription will automatically be renewed for the same Subscription term that you originally purchased, e.g. every month and at the original (not discounted) price that you paid for your Subscription. Subscription fees will not increase for the duration of your Subscription, despite any overall price changes that we may make.

Cooling period

Despite the fact that the site says that refunds are made available to subscribers, that isn’t really the case. If a user makes a request for a refund, then they need to follow the ‘Member Participation Policy.’ That would mean users have to request a refund within 14 days of the original payment. However, according to the website, it takes 14 days for the request to be processed. If users figure out that they have been scammed one day after making their payment, there will not be enough time to process the refund. It’s a rip-off circle that never ends.

DatingOver50s.co.uk is run by Venntro Media Group LTD, a company that is well known for developing fake online dating websites for singles. The company is based in Slough, United Kingdom. We found a lot of negative reviews about them, but we can’t really specify who the real owner of the company is. We have no other option but to call this site a scam.

On DatingOver50s.co.uk, users will only experience poor service and zero dates. You cannot get full access with a free membership, so users would need to make purchases for full access. However, even after making such payments, the site is filled with fake users who want to scam you. Subscriptions renew automatically and are difficult to cancel. Former members who shared their experience on online forums said that their credit card details were at risk. Also, their data was shared on other websites belonging to the same network. This website is a subscription rip-off.
