GranniesToMeet.com review

The online dating portal GranniesToMeet.com has a solid first appearance. The platform has a modern design. Also, the landing page shows a lot of content. We see some promotional images and read some general information about the offer of the site. The target group of the website is obvious. The name of the site already explains what it is all about. On this portal, “silver agers” can find other singles to meet and date.

However, the longer we remained on the landing page, the more negative aspects we discovered. It starts with a lot of missing information about the actual service of the site. The offer is clear. It is a dating site for mature singles. But we do not know how the site will find matches. It is also not stated how many people have joined the platform in the past. Moreover, we do not know if this site is a casual dating service, or a matchmaker. It is also not explained if costs will develop or not.

These are just a few examples of important information that is missing. Plus, we must question the protection of personal data. On the landing page, there are profile pictures of active members. Usually, it is not a positive aspect if the personal information of customers is used for promotional purposes.

The operating company is Marbore Web Solutions Ltd, which is based in Sofia, in Bulgaria. We know this company already. According to our experience, the site’s operator is not reliable. We also found some reviews on the internet. Former users were not satisfied with the service of this site. Plus, the company runs a huge dating network. Their other platforms have a bad reputation as well. According to reviews on the internet, this site is a scam.

Yes, the online dating platform GranniesToMeet.com is a rip-off. It starts with misleading information on the landing page. The site offers free registration, but registration is not necessarily free. While registering, a paid membership is offered. It is possible to skip this. But registration is not free. However, this is not the only misleading piece of information on the landing page. After registration, automated messages are used to stimulate new members to chat. This site uses fake chat.

The goal of fake chat is to increase the income of the site’s operator. Costs will develop after registration for a subscription for a premium membership. On the one hand, the automated messages encourage new members to purchase a premium membership if that did not happen while registering. On the other hand, these automated messages keep active customers in a good mood. So, they remain a paying user for a long time.

Additionally, the subscription for premium membership is a cheeky trap. The trial premium membership, which is offered during registration, is the actual subscription rip-off. The offer does not contain any information. This is a problem, as it cannot be terminated in time. It will extend to a monthly paid subscription, anyway. Plus, all other subscriptions are difficult to terminate as well.

The operator is well-known for their cheeky tricks. We must explain more about the misleading information that is presented on the landing page. We have mentioned the problem with free registration already. In general, we must report about another aspect of the offer, which is made during the registration.

Never make a purchase too early on the internet. Especially not for a subscription, and if little information is provided. The offer sounds interesting. But we do not really know enough to make a purchase. It is a subscription, but essential information is not provided. So, the offer is not reliable. Also, we recommend you make sure that the offer suits you first, before making a purchase. Not just in this case, but in general.

As mentioned before, after registration, many messages are received. These messages are obviously fake. It is not realistic that a new member receives that much attention. Especially as we did not provide any personal information, did not upload a profile picture, and skipped verification. There is no reason to contact us. However, we get spammed. We assume that the messages are sent automatically.

The portal does not appear to employ fake chat operators. It seems that chatbots replace fake chat operators. The profiles on the site appear to be fake as well. But we must admit one problem. We did not find proof of fake chat in the Terms and Conditions. The operator does not state anything about moderation. Fake chat operators, chatbots, and fictitious profiles, are not mentioned. Also, the purpose of entertainment is not stated.

But the signs are obvious. This site is a scam with fake chat. The goal of fake chat is to stimulate users to chat and encourage them to purchase a premium membership. In fact, the subscription trap is the main problem.

After registration, various options for a premium membership are offered. The subscription for a trial premium membership is offered, again. Now we receive more details about this offer. It will extend to a monthly paid subscription. There is no way to avoid that. The trial membership is the actual trap. But all the other subscriptions will be difficult to terminate as well, as this operator makes the process of cancelation difficult.

The company is well-known for this cheeky rip-off. On the internet, there are many reviews about the exhausting process of termination. Letters of termination will be ignored or declined, without a reason. That is a problem, as all subscriptions renew automatically, if the user does not terminate the subscription in time. We must mention that an automatic extension of a subscription does not have to be a scam, in general. It can be a useful feature. Here it is used as a cheeky trap.

By the way, the location of the site operator is a hint of an unreliable company already. In the past, we reported about this company, and others. We already have experience with this operator. But the location of this operator is a hotspot for scammers.

Scroll down to read the details of our GranniesToMeet.com review.

GranniesToMeet.com offers free registration for women and men. The screen for registration is displayed at the top of the landing page. The whole process is very easy and done within less than five minutes. We choose our gender and the one that we are looking for. This platform allows gay and straight matchmaking. It is possible to register as a woman or as a man. Plus, it is possible to search for either women or men.

Additionally, we must enter our age and location. A valid e-mail address and password are required as well. To continue with registration, we must agree to the Terms and Conditions, and the privacy policy. We briefly looked into the legal information of the platform. There is no hint of moderation. Fake chat operators or the use of fictitious profiles are not mentioned, which is a positive aspect.

But the good impression does not last any longer. In the next step of registration, we receive an offer for a trial premium membership. This offer sounds great. We can subscribe to a trial premium membership for one day. Also, the price of the subscription is attractive, as it is less than one USD. But there are a few problems with the offer, which we will explain shortly. Later, we will explain the problems more extensively.

The website claims to offer free registration. But registration is not necessarily free. It is possible to complete registration with a paid membership. So, the information about free registration is misleading and not true. Additionally, it is not reliable if a website asks for payment before showing the actual offer. We do not know if the site is worth our time and money. But we should make a payment. This does not sound like a good idea.

The last point is that the offer is a subscription. But there is no further information about the subscription. We know that it runs for one day and its price. But we do not see any terms for this subscription. It might be that it will end automatically or extend automatically, and you must terminate it personally. In short, the offer appears very unreliable.

However, it is possible to skip the offer. Then, we can upload a profile picture, which is optional. Also, verification is optional, which does not make a good impression either. Verification should be obligatory, as it is very important. Without verification, the personal data of all users is not safe. Additionally, it helps to avoid fake profiles. Overall, this website made a solid first impression. But the process of registration changed our opinion.

We enter the platform without verification, which is a negative aspect for many reasons. On the one hand, a missing verification process leads to fake profiles. On the other hand, the personal data of all users is not protected. We can see all profile pictures and visit each profile to read personal information. That will be possible for other new members who visit our profile. As we see it, this is an absolute no-go. However, leaking data and lack of protection is not the worst aspect of this site, as we will explain later.

Now we want to explain our experience with the site, the handling, and the design. The portal does not have a very extraordinary design. Anyway, it is not all about the look. The site has a good overview. It is very easy to navigate through the platform. But this is also because of another aspect, which we evaluate negatively. The site does not offer a lot.

At the top of the interface, we see the different areas. We see our profile settings, the inbox, and our notifications. There is also the button to upgrade our profile to a premium membership. Also, we see the search function that we can use for free. That is already everything the website offers. Moreover, we see a lot of profiles in the members´ pool.

Members who are currently online have a green button on their profile picture. All the profiles show female members. In general, the profiles do not look fake, at first sight. But this changed quickly. The profile pictures are not a clue about fake profiles, but the information is. Almost all members come from our region. This is not very realistic.

Moreover, we receive messages from other members right after registration. Immediately after registration, we had already received three messages, and various likes for our profile. The likes are obviously fake. We did not provide any personal information. So, there is no reason to like our profile, as it is completely empty. Also, the messages must be fake.

It is not realistic that a new member with no information and without a profile picture gets that much attention. The messages are sent automatically. This site uses fake chat. But we must admit that proof from the Terms and Conditions is missing. However, the signs are clear. Plus, the operator is well-known for a huge dating network scam. Also, this site is a subscription trap, for which we have proof. So, the use of fake chat does not seem to be too far-fetched.

The messages do not come from fake chat operators. It seems that chatbots are the replacement. The messages are not specially labelled. They also do not contain any information about moderation. Also, the fake profiles are not marked as such. These are all problems that make this site a cheeky rip-off.

By the way, we found many reviews about a moderated chat on the internet. We are not the only ones who had this experience. The goal of fake chat is to increase the income of the operator. It is free to read messages, but costs will develop for sending messages. Users will need an expensive premium membership to reply.

Extract from the terms and conditions from the GranniesToMeet.com website. Current status of the terms and conditions as of November 8, 2022.

Unless cancelled, your 1-day trial membership plan will automatically convert to our monthly package after the end of your 1-day trial period at the full price of $38.59. Please note that the amount debited may vary if your transaction requires a currency conversion. In this case we will use a retail exchange rate.

Registration is free. At least this is stated on the landing page. But this information is not true. While registering, a trial premium membership is offered. It is possible to skip this offer. But there are a lot of problems with it, as we will explain. It starts with the problem that the information is misleading. Also, the offer itself is not reliable at all. We know too little about the offered subscription. Plus, we did not even enter the portal, or check the service, but we should make a payment.

Never make a purchase too quickly on the internet. Always make sure that the service suits you first. Also make sure that you have enough information about the purchased product. Here, we know that the trial membership runs for one day, and costs 0.99 USD. But this is obviously not enough to evaluate the offer. Especially when the Terms and Conditions say the cancelation is required, but not offered here.

As mentioned before, it is possible to skip the offer. New members will then receive a free basic membership, which runs for an unlimited time. This kind of membership allows users to use the search function, visit all areas, read messages, and visit all profiles to read personal information about other users. The last point is a negative aspect, as verification is optional. So, it is possible to access the personal information of all members, without verifying.

Additionally, the fact that it is possible to read messages is not positive. The messages that we receive are fake and sent automatically. The website uses fake chat and tries to encourage new members to purchase a premium membership. If a subscription for trial premium membership is purchased during registration, the automated messages have a different purpose. Then, the messages will keep users in a good mood, so they will not terminate their subscription.

Now we will explain the scam with a subscription trap. The subscription offered for a trial premium membership while registering, is the actual trap. It will be offered again, later, with the same conditions. The only difference is that more information is provided in the payment section. Now we know that the trial membership will extend automatically, for two reasons.

The first reason is that it is a part of its terms. The second reason is, that even if the trial membership did not extend anyway, it is not possible to cancel it in time. The deadline for termination is too short. After the subscription for the trial premium membership ends, it will extend to a monthly paid subscription that costs 38.59 USD per month.

Besides the trial premium membership, there are more options available. The subscription for a premium membership, for one-week, costs 0.56 USD per day. The subscription for the premium membership, for one-month, costs 1.38 USD per day, and the subscription for the premium membership, for three months, costs 0.77 USD per day.

On the one hand, the rates for the subscriptions are displayed in a confusing manner. The price per membership appears to be low, but that is only because the rates are shown per day. On the other hand, all subscriptions renew automatically, which is a problem here.

Each subscription has its own deadline for termination. The one-day trial premium membership has a deadline of 24 hours. Now, it becomes obvious that it is a trap. It is not possible to terminate a one-day subscription, 24 hours before it will end. Other subscriptions must be terminated 72 hours before the term ends. But even this is not that easy, according to reviews on the internet.

The operator makes the termination difficult. Letters of termination are mostly ignored. Other letters of termination will be declined, without a reason. The results are the same. The operator makes sure that the customers will miss their deadline for termination. That will lead to an automatic renewal again and again.

This operator is well-known for this kind of rip-off. We have had experiences with this company before. It is also well-known on the internet. We found many reviews about this unreliable company. By the way, the location of the company is a hint of an untrustworthy choice.

GranniesToMeet.com is a scam with fake chat and a subscription trap. The website offers free registration, but this is not true. During registration, a cheeky trial premium membership will be offered. It is possible to skip it. But it is also possible to enter the portal with a paid membership. Then, the trap has closed already.

The trial membership runs for one day and will extend automatically. There is no way of avoiding that. But the offer, made during registration, does not contain any information. So, users do not know about automatic renewal. In the payment sections, more information is provided.

After registration, a new member will receive plenty of messages. These messages are fake, just like the profiles. According to reviews from former members, all profiles are fake. A fake profile shows a fictitious person with whom a date in real life is impossible. But the fake profiles are not marked as such. The automated messages are neither labelled nor contain information about moderation.

The goal is to encourage new members to purchase a premium membership. All subscriptions are difficult to terminate. The operator is well-known for its cheeky rip-off with a subscription trap. In fact, the tricks are very easy. Any subscription renews automatically if the user does not terminate it in time. The operator will simply ignore letters of termination or decline them, without a reason. The operating company is Marbore Web Solutions Ltd, which is based in Sofia, in Bulgaria.
