SeniorDatingAgency.net review

Landing on the dating platform SeniorDatingAgency.net gives the user a fresh welcome and a good first impression. The target audience being seniors is clearly set and the promise of finding new friends or a new partner is highly attractive. At first sight, nothing triggered us to think this might be a scam or a rip-off. The platform is part of and operated by Dating Factory, a company from Sion, Switzerland, accustomed to developing dating services.

After the first positive feeling had passed, it became clear that the more we dug into the website, the fishier it appeared. Our extensive research showed us that if the registration is free, users must pay a subscription to access the website’s full services. A user would need to spend more to become a VIP user. In addition to those fees, we noticed that most of the profiles are ghosts or fake. Ultimately, we concluded that this platform has a fake chat service with a subscription rip-off on top of that. We suggest that you refrain from using this service.

The homepage of SeniorDatingAgency.net is well-designed and is mainly a join-in invitation with reassuring communication on safety and on how easy and free it is. However, our review shows that this homepage is a perfect example of the foot-in-the-door sales technique. Joining the platform is free; you can search for profiles around your location. We will reveal further that those suggested profiles are most probably fake or ghosts.

Hazardous subscription scheme

If users want to proceed further and start to connect with potential matches, they need to subscribe and give their credit or debit card information. Users can upgrade their account to a gold membership or to a VIP membership, which oversells useless extra features like, “getting that special touch to be different and stand out from the crowd.”

The fees for subscriptions are ranged from 29.95 pounds a month to 16.66 pounds a month for a 6-month subscription period. The VIP bonus is sold at 12.95 pounds a month. Once users have subscribed to their services, the subscription is automatically renewed and extended for a similar duration.

A hindrance to in completing the cancellation process

Cancelling subscriptions on this site feels like an obstacle course. The process is unclear, which is enough for the company to keep scamming users. Users must notify the company by email or letter to inform the intention of terminating their subscription at least 14 days before the renewal date. The company provides a template for cancellation notification in its FAQ, but we have no evidence of its effectiveness. Moreover, the company reserves the right to commission a debt collection agency to force users to pay their fees. We have seen that situation can lead to a painful experience involving lawyers.

Moderators and ghost profiles

Our evaluation of the site revealed that SeniorDatingAgency.net is operating with moderators and running a fake chat service. An automated system is used to send messages and create fake conversations, which will undoubtedly deceive users and create a lousy user experience. Moreover, we believe that the platform includes lots of ghosts and inactive or incomplete profiles, which add to the feeling of wasting your time there.

Excerpt from the GTC (as of 19/08/2023)

The Website’s primary purpose is to provide an adult entertainment experience. The Service enables members to connect with each other, exchange pictures, stories, fantasies, and contact and engage in conversation with other members, our representatives, and our automated system.

Unrealistic and deceitful promise

SeniorDatingAgency.net belongs to Dating Factory, located in Sion, Switzerland, which runs a network of dating services. It targets seniors with a deceitful promise of finding new friends or love. Nothing like that happens on the platform, and the company provides a basic adult entertainment service that we have seen multiple times through our diverse reviews. Seniors might be an easy target due to their high hopes and lack of dating platform experience.

At first, SeniorDatingAgency.net seemed to be quite appealing. Yet, after deeper investigation, the truth emerged: the website is combined with both a subscription rip-off and a fake chat scam. Resulting from our deep analysis, it is obvious the platform cannot deliver on its pledge. Therefore, we highly recommend our readers avoid using this platform. We have also located some online claims from users of other dating services operated by the same company, Dating Factory, which should strongly confirm this website is a scam.
