FishForSingles.com review

To avoid any dire confusion, FishForSingles.com is not a website intended to help singles discover deals on fish. It is in fact a dating platform claiming to assist singles in finding other eligible individuals. The idea here is that users would just be waiting around for a catch, right? It is entirely plausible if it weren’t for one fact. All the fish that will bite the hook are nothing more than fake profiles operated by moderators or more likely, chatbots.

Indeed, we have accumulated substantial experience with the operator over the years. The company named Venntro Media Group LTD, based in Slough, UK, is responsible for FishForSingles.com and operates numerous fraudulent websites similar to it. They consistently employ identical deceptive tactics to entice users into purchasing auto-renewing subscriptions, which subsequently prove quite challenging to cancel. We even uncovered evidence of this subscription rip-off in the Terms of Service.

The design template of the landing page on FishForSingles.com is adorned with pleasant oceanic colors. It features a logo depicting a hook and two small fish along with a catchy slogan inviting us to dip… our toes. It gives the impression that the Internet is a deep sea from which one can freely draw emotional resources. This fairy tale would be merely naïve, or foolish if it were not for the fact that it is merely a deceitful pretext to scam users who fall for it.

Consequently, the content on this page is full of deception. The platform claims to host “genuine” users seeking “real” connections, but the truth is that all the profiles are fake. There is no chance of a real date happening. Actually, all it takes to fish the truth is to dive into the Terms of Service. What we discovered there was far from a miraculous catch.

Excerpt from the GTC (as of 08/11/2023)

The Site is an entertainment service. […] By using this Service you accept that any member profiles, messages and communication may not be genuine.

Fish for rip-off

Right from the outset of our review, it became evident that users were not provided with transparent information regarding the costs linked to using the service. It all seemed free before we registered, but when we were granted access to the members’ area, we discovered that a premium subscription was required to do just about everything on the platform. In truth, the landing page’s claim of free registration was essentially meaningless as we could not even read or send messages. Also, navigating through the site soon became exasperating as we were constantly directed to the payment page.

Venntro Media Group LTD is notorious for making the cancellation process of subscriptions needlessly arduous. Often, they simply fail to respond to users’ requests, all the while continuing to withdraw funds from their bank accounts. Indeed, once users have taken the bait, it is very challenging to break free from these subscription rip-offs unless they contact their bank to block payment methods.

Based on our review, FishForSingles.com is a deceptive scam intended to defraud users through a subscription trap. The platform only displays fake profiles with the purpose of being used to lure users into buying costly memberships that prove exceedingly difficult to cancel. Therefore, any real date is a far-fetched expectation on this scam site. Our experience shows that the operator of this platform exploits numerous comparable sneaky websites resorting to the same tactics.
