Report on DateYou.com review
DateYou.com appears to be a great online dating portal. On the landing page, we read about free registration. Also, we see an image of an attractive woman. Plus, there are many more images to see on the homepage. The site advertises with a huge selection of good-looking people. But we do not know if they are actual members of the site. The profiles could only be for advertising purposes.
On the landing page, we read some general information about the site. The platform appears to be transparent, but the information is not really useful. We read some general knowledge about online dating. Surely, this can be helpful. But hard facts about the site are missing. This website claims to be a reliable dating site. It promises that you can find the love of your life here. Well, that sounds quite appealing. But this is not completely true.
At the bottom of the landing page, we read about so-called entertainment profiles. Entertainment can stand for moderation. This website appears to be a fake chat. On the one hand, it is good that this note is provided. On the other hand, the use of entertainment profiles is not positive at all. The operator of the site is MP Mobile Performance Ltd, who are based in Limassol, Cyprus.
Is DateYou.com a rip-off?
DateYou.com is a scam with a fake chat. The profiles on the site are fake and show fictional people. It is not possible to meet a fictional person in real life. This website promises that you can find your perfect match. But this match will be fictitious. Also, the meeting is limited to an online experience. Fake chat operators control the fake profiles. They will animate new members into a chat. While chatting, they will not give any hint about moderation.
In the end, users do not know about moderation at all. On the landing page, we found a notification about entertainment profiles. But this note is not enough. Moreover, this short statement is well hidden at the bottom of the landing page. Last but not least, the note does not inform about the full scale of the moderated chat. The fake profiles managed by fake chat operators are not specially marked as such. A user has no chance of spotting the fake chat.
The rip-off starts right after registration is done. Within only a few minutes, we received many messages from other users. So, a fake chat operator will take the first step in the conversation. They will actively animate us into a chat. Their goal is not our entertainment, but to increase the income of the operator. Costs will arise after the registration. A user must pay to send messages. Based on the facts in our research, it is a waste of time and money. The chance of meeting a real person is zero. Regarding reviews, all profiles are fake.

Registration on DateYou.com
The registration process is very simple. It only takes a few minutes to create a profile here. Only little information is mandatory for registering. We can register with a Google account right away. Alternatively, we can use another e-mail provider. In the first step, we enter a username, a password, and a valid e-mail address. Additionally, we need to enter our age. Registration is only possible if we are older than 18 years. Also, we choose our gender, and the one that we are looking for. This website allows gay and straight matchmaking.
Also, we must agree to the terms and conditions, and to the communication guidelines. This is the one and only step required for registration. More details are not asked for. Of course, this is a bad sign. Our profile does not contain one piece of useful information. Other members will not know anything about us. Plus, they will not know what we look like. We do not have to upload a profile picture.
The registration is very basic. That ensures a fast and smooth creation of a new profile. But the profile is of bad quality. The fact that it is possible to register without providing any information lowers the quality of the whole website. Moreover, it makes this site less reliable. Last but not least, we did not have to verify our account. We were able to complete the registration, and visit the portal, without verifying our profile. This lowers the safety for other users. Fake profiles can be created easily. Also, spammers could register here as well.
Members’ area on DateYou.com
Without verifying our account, we visited the members´ area. We were able to see all profile pictures. Also, it was possible to visit each section of the site. Of course, we received some notifications that we should verify our account. But this is simply not mandatory. So, we just did not do it during our review. In general, this is poor personal data protection. Imagine, everyone can register and read all information in each profile.
The design of the website is modern and appealing. Thanks to the great design, we have a good overview of all areas. At the top of the platform, we see the different sections. There, we can check our likes and favorites. Plus, we see our profile settings and the inbox. By the way, our inbox fills up fast. We received a lot of attention from other users. Later on, we will explain what that means. Before that, we want to describe the platform a bit more.
The profiles on the site look great. We are able to scroll through the members´ area by ourselves. An alternative to that is to use the search function. We can see most images on a profile. Most of the profiles uploaded more than just one image. Also, we can read all provided personal information. We conclude that the profiles look good. They look a little too good to be real.
Some profiles show professional models. Other profiles show sensitive content. Additionally, some profile pictures do not fit the profile descriptions. According to our experience, the profiles on this site are fake. To prove our impression, we did some research. On the internet, we found reviews from former users. They also mention fake profiles in their reports. Also, the operator of the site admits using moderated fake profiles.
Actually, that is stated on the landing page already. There, we read about entertainment profiles. As it is not made clear that all profiles are fake and moderated, we call this website a rip-off. Also, the purpose of entertainment is noted. But not one user of a dating site wants to be entertained virtually. Plus, entertainment is not the actual goal of moderation.
A fake chat operator will actively animate us into a chat. They encourage us to spend money on the website. Their goal is to increase the income of the operator. By the way, receiving many messages right after the registration is a clear hint of a fake chat. While chatting, a fake chat operator will not identify as a fictional person. They are trying to cover the moderated chat as long as possible. A user must buy coins to chat. The fake chat operators will try to generate as many messages as possible.
Terms and conditions of DateYou.com
Extract from the terms and conditions from the DateYou.com website. Current status of the terms and conditions as of May 2, 2022.
MP Mobile Performance uses professional animators and operators for the entertainment of the Users, who are not identified separately in the system. This Service is provided in the highest quality. Real meetings are not possible with these operators. Users can only send them messages within the portal.
Costs on DateYou.com
The registration is free for women and men. A subscription for a premium membership is not offered at all. So, there is no need to fear a subscription trap. However, that does not make this cheeky scam website any better. It is still a very bad choice. Anyway, as there is no paid account, a new user can do nearly everything. We were able to see all profile pictures. Also, it was possible to visit each profile to read further information. We were even able to use the search function and read messages.
Well, the last feature is actually a part of the trick. We received countless messages within only a few minutes. These messages came from fake chat operators. They are trying to animate us into a chat. While chatting, they will not mention anything about moderation. Their goal is to increase the income of the operator. To achieve that, they will trick us with erotic content, and put out promises of dates. Surprised by the high attention a new member receives, their caution decreases.
Thanks to our registration, we received 100 coins. That sounds like a lot, but it is not. This is enough to send two messages. Sending one message costs 50 coins. After we have used up our balance, we must purchase new coins. The coins are offered in various packages. Five different packages with coins are offered. Each package is a different cost. The smallest package contains 220 coins and costs 4.99 USD. This package allows sending four messages. One message is more than one USD.
The biggest package costs 99.99 USD and contains, 4400 coins. This package allows sending 88 messages. Sending one message still costs more than one USD. Actually, the price per message does not change at all. According to our experience, this website is not too overpriced. But because it is a cheeky fake chat, the purchase of coins is a waste of money. It is possible to pay with a credit/debit card or Google Pay. All payments are one-time payments.
Conclusion from our DateYou.com experience
DateYou.com is a rip-off with a fake chat. The profiles on the site are fictitious. On the landing page, the use of so-called entertainment profiles is stated. But this note is much too little. Fake profiles are not called by their actual name. Moderation is not mentioned at all. Also, the purpose of entertainment is a cheeky lie. In fact, the fictitious profiles are controlled by fake chat operators, to increase the income of the operator.
The operator of the platform is MP Mobile Performance Ltd, who are based in Limassol, Cyprus. It starts right after the registration. A fake chat operator will actively animate users into a chat. They will not identify as a chat moderator while chatting. The fake profiles are not specially marked. Users do not know about moderation.

Yes fake you get no answers to reasonable questions , great enticing photos with stupid esponses that do not make sense .
Fake. I figured it out pretty quickly — but not until I’d spent $25. Women on the site are over-the-top in the first place, but when you try to move them off the site, poof! The only reason for keeping you on the site is to make you spend more $$, and I’m willing to be that the non-robots among them (and there are some) are paid to keep you strung along as long as possible.
Dateyou.com is the worst dating site trap . I allowed myself to be fooled for awhile but knew deep down it was a scam. Stay away especially if your the type who gets addicted to porn sites. Trust me,this can just as bad.
I agree with all the above reviews. DateYou is a total scam. All they want is your money. stay far away.
all bad ………………………………………
I got ripped off too. Never got a real answer and when I set up a meeting, the person didn’t want to meet. I told them they were ripping me off but they kept ongoing. Anyone who won’t chat off the site is a red flag for a rip-off. Stay far away.
I WAS CHARGED $99.99 FRAUD CHARGE. I HAD 3000 COINS WHEN I LOGED OFF AT NIGHT, WHEN THE NEXT DAY THEY SHOWED 8000 COIN DEFECIT. TOTAL SCAM. MY CREDIT CARD WAS SHOWING I DID NOT PAY THE FRAUDELENT CHARGE WHICH GAVE ME A BAD LOWER SCORE. BUT I AM FIGHTING THIS ERRONIUS CHARGE. STAY AWAY FROM THIS TOTOTAL SCAM.
Do you have to register for date you or do they buy e-mail addresses and send spam?
Fake! Fake! Fake! I set-up a profile with no picture and had many women sending me texts EVERY day. Any other ligimate dating site where you don’t post a picture will get you zero inquires and NO responses! Dont waste your time or money!
A long time ago, before the Internet I ran an “electronic bulletin board” online (anybody old enough to remember modems?) and had a bunch of adult oriented games for my members. One of them employed a very primitive artificial intelligence program. I set it up so certain key words would trigger up to 10 different response sentences that I fabricated. I think DateYou.com employs something like that, which would explain the short responses that guys are getting while in chat. My users knew it was pre-programmed and I didn’t charge to play with it. It also had the capability for me to take over the chats and respond instead of the programmed sentences. Sometimes when I knew my members I would say something specific that only someone who knew them would be privy to. That really freaked them out, especially since they thought it was a program and not a person they were chatting with.
I never waisted One Cent, Tried to get information that didn’t even come close to any Help. Fake Ass Site, Don’t waist your time.
BS fake for sure. Gave all who seemed so eager to meet and talk my personal e-mail to continue conversation and not 1 of the 20 sent me a e-mail.
Yes fake for sure. I did the trial for 20 something dollars. I quickly noticed the fake gals would only comment in quick one liners and never answer you. This was to get you to quickly send another message to rack up charges. Though I could see right through this I noticed a few fake responders to my messages seemed more serious so I went ahead and paid for the next level up — buying more “coins” so I could send more text messages – figuring that if I scour the profiles more carefully and limit myself sending only a daily total of no more than a maximum of only 5 total text to 5 different women a day that I would eventually meet up with a “real woman” who really looking for a real man . My logic was that since I was real on the site responding to them there must also be women – American , who are also paying to write messages and I would find one who was looking for an opposit sex partner like I was. NOPE ! I reported my experience to the fraud department of my charge card company who quickly helped me cancel my card and get a new one issued.
hey, the Katharina9868 profile on date you changes the subject when i bring its attention to Terms And Conditions in the 3 bars under the buy coins button line 11 sub title E says MP Mobile Performance uses professional animators and operators for the entertainment of the Users, who are not identified separately in the system. This Service is provided in the highest quality. Real meetings are not possible with these operators. Users can only send them messages within the portal. it dont matter what, ya aint gonna meet him/her, he/she…
Mike Goode, i did the same thing just to test them, asked for phone numbers or e-mails and got excuses, the girls say they live in your area but avoid naming restaurants when asked i didnt spend $20, i should have checked the reviews here first. STAY AWAY from DATEYOU.COM
1000% fake
12-6-2020 I’mmarried man I set up a fake account to see what will happen in within minutes I got 45 women wanted to meet funny part is the texting was all the same but different. I spent 4.99 just to see none of this women would live a number to meet stay away from that site its100%. fake.
i just got ripped off. i bought 27.99 in coins, tried to use them,and site requested more “coins”. never used them once, and there is no contact site listed . what to do? what a ripp-off!
I too fell for what seems to be total sham like a dummy I swear I fell in love with a photo .. As one fellow remarked they don t answer your questions and talk in circles Anyway after a couple of weeks and I hate to admit a bunch of money Luckely for me the site disappeared YES total SCAM
Does anyone know how to delete the “Date You” web site? They say you can under the three grey bars. But there is no section to delete.
yes i to have experienced the above scam stay away jhs
Yes I checked it out no meet after a few days. All fake. I agree with Roger Thomas. Stay away from this B S Website.
I have forever left dateyou.com for reasons so obvious that one only has to chat only once to realize the women you think you are chatting with no nothing about common events they stall when you want specific answers and they never answer your content in your questions proposed to them to answer. i have written many multi-line paragraphs only to get a one line response that has no bearing on your query. And those photos, how silly to think that they try to pass someone else’s photos as their own. People don’t let yourself get caught in this scam sham!! You will only lose money to this “CRAP” game!!
Roger Thomas ( Very Dissappointed )
