They steal customers money with subscriptions while they offer them things that will never happen. They have a terms and conditions which is against the laws. When you are a new customer they can answer you the next day but when they cannot take money from your bank card they will tell you but you cannot reach them, they do not answer your messages and they say your case will be given to an executor company.

Their only concern is the bottom line, and getting something for nothing. I had an account deleted with no warning 12 hours after subscribing (11 of which I was in class or at work). I was unable to sign in and found an email in my spam folder saying I was found in violation.

This normally allows communications between the paid member and possible free members. Not the case on christianmingles.com. I had to call the company to confirm this. I proceeded to ask for a refund They said they couldn't do that. However they would change the 3 month term to 1 month.

HOW does this company get an A+ RATING, if all these posting are complaints ????
But this site takes it to the max.
During my first 10 days of membership ( which I have signed up for 6 months ), I have been bombarded with spammers wanting to talk to me, sending me emails and smiles. 
Every time I reported it, the member gets cancelled, then I get an email from customer support, that "another memeber has reported it". How convenient...

I tried to log in to unsubscribe and it said it could not recognize me. Also no matter what button you click, the main page does not change. Also I am receiving 5 or more emails per day and only have 2 people who have requested a contact. This is driving me crazy and I have never joined or paid for membership. I took a short look for free but do not want any more contact from this group.
