Many fake profiles

Loads of fake profiles of handsome men graduated from top universities like Oxford or Cambridge. We all know they marry/date between themselves. I went on ond off, sent messages etc and almost never get any message.

A shocking follow up on Innercircle

A shocking follow up on Innercircle. They charged me for premium VIP memberships that I never took. I didn't subscribe to this, but they must have automatically signed me up to this, charging me hundreds of pounds. Is there any sort of ombudsman or authority I can complain to? Has this happened to anyone else?

Mostly disappointing

Mostly disappointing; occasionally infuriating, I subscribed in July 2020. Lots of "read this book" interviews, not a lot of true insider information. The infuriating part happened today, when we were looking forward to the Newt take on last night's debate, and didn't get anything but e-mails saying how wonderful it was going to be. Accessing the website didn't give access either. Oh, and we never got the book promised when we paid our fee, and I can't find any button to push to unsubscribe and get back a pro-rata payment.

Blocked without justification and no response from them

Been on this dating app on and off for a few years. Went to log in today and was told I was blocked. They didn’t bother to email me to explain why I was blocked. When I emailed them querying what happened they replied straight away telling me my account was fake and if I sent ID they would look at it. I sent my ID straight away and asked how my account was reported fake when my insta is linked to it and also to investigate who made this report as clearly they are wrong or have a vendetta against me. 12 hours later still no response and I’m still locked out of my account. AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE. Block people’s account without even telling them or investigating properly and then don’t even respond to customers. Shockingly bad.

Inner circle scam fake

I have a membership at Inner Circle and I will delete it also after expiry date. The whole Inner Circle is a big scam. If you notice good many photos are professionally made not even with a mobile selfie. Also when a girl approaches me she asks two questions how are you etc and when I ask her the same I don’t get a reply at all. It just to give you hope to stay on the app. I wonder if they use the photos of people that are aware of this. I think not, and they should be brought to court. Also when I like a girl she like me back and we start a small normal conversation and then she doesn’t react at all to normal questions. One time I had a girl chat and she was saying to me why am I so negative about Inner Circle... busted ! A normal person would not ask twice like she was defending Inner Circle. I responded and after that no reaction whatsoever. I want to say to people : don’t use , don’t pay for Inner Circle it’s a big scam next to Tinder !

Horrible app

Horrible app, where people hardly interact and are rude. You have to pay for almost all features. Can’t choose many cities.

Inner Circle

Inner Circle: Total scam.
-Profiles don't react on your messages. They're probably no real person at all.
-Very, very expensive, more expensive than any dating app I know off.
-Impossible to see when profiles were last online. So it could very well be that there are a lot off old profiles.
-Deliberately vague payment construction.

Very disappointing. It's all about the money.
Don't, don't give your money to these it-cowboys.

Similar to all other dating apps but…

Similar to all other dating apps but lures you in for you to then realise you can't even read messages without paying for the service.

Essentially the same as other dating apps but mandatory payment which should be made clear at the start instead of using it to lure people in.

I had the paid membership for three…

I had the paid membership for three months and I didn't find it really enhanced the experience. Compared to other apps, people don't seem to talk and people seemed very flaky. Even when there's mutual likes, people don't respond to messages etc and having had a
3 month membership, I didn't get a single date from it, especially compared to other paid for dating apps, where it was not a problem. Maybe the type of women are here are just not the type of women I go for. I think if you're a poser or rich this might work for you but I'm just not sure how good it is for someone who isn't on a six figure salary or doesn't have a six pack.

Expensive, fake profiles, manipulative

Expensive: 40 euro a month. Women pay less then men which is pure discrimination. Fake profiles that match with you but never respond or just keep you chatting and never want to meet up. Manipulative behaviour of the company. For example you get a period of free membership if you give Inner Circle a positive review in the App store or Google Play and let them know. If the review is more critical you don't get the time period of free membership.
Avoid this app!

A total scam - they take money without you knowing it

This 'invited' app was sent to me nearly a year ago and I was encouraged to sign up. Only now, have I seen that they have been taking £40 a month from my account! This is a total scam and all should be aware. I've not looked at it since I signed up and have asked for a full refund... I'll wait and see... but before you sign up be very cautious on your 'settings'!

This is 100% a scam

This is 100% a scam. I’ve been contacted by 6 ladies.
3 in other countries, 1 judged me and spoke down to me, 2 said hi and never replied.
The ones that do ‘like’ you never respond.

Total waste of everyone’s time and money

AVOID

Absolute Rip off and Worst dating company

Despite trying to contact the company several times they are ignoring my emails. They automatically billed me for a subscription I wanted cancelled and also I want to delete my account but they keep ignoring me and refuse to refund me. Don't use it at all! I don't recommend this website, you can't find anyone and also the events are rubbish. I think if you want a dating website more transparent stick to Hinge or Bumble.

Friend invited me

Friend invited me. Put pictures up. Apparently not showing enough face. Put another one up with a square on face shot. Got banned. Friend got email warning not to invite 'fake' users. 😂

Contacted support. No reply

Just wanted to see what the crowd was like 🤷‍♂️

At least we know support is not great 🤣
