Spark.com Real Users Reviews

This site is almost nothing but Nigerian scammers..widowed,only child whose parents meant the world to them, professing love almost immediately (whaaaaat?), and then quickly trying to establish if I was financially stable..asking for my home address..the big tip is their poor grammatical skills with the English language--but they will try to cover it up by saying they are half Irish, half German or half Italian,etc...one sob story after another. One was so stupid he actually tried to pretend he was from the same town I live in. Be careful with this site!!

Be very careful on this site. It is full of 419 scammers...those stuck in other countries needing money. I have been involved with one until the point of him asking for money, and have encountered at least 15 others. There are several warning signs that you can learn about by googling dating scams.
The biggest concern I have is that Spark.com's complaint process is terrible, and I do not think they take it seriously. I am very suspicious of this site.

I signed up for Spark.com. Let me say, however, that I never got a chance to really use my account.

They suspended my account as soon as I made it. They then only had a customer service number that's open a few hours a day. After almost a week of them charging me, they weren't picking up the phone. I finally got a hold of them and told them I didn't want the service since it had been almost a week and I had no access to their website. They said no.

They said that their rules - which I had no access to since I wasn't allowed on the site - stated they gave no refunds.

They also refused to unsuspend my account until I sent them copies of my driver's license and/or other sensitive documents to prove I am who I say I am. I asked where does it say that I have to send my personal documents, and they said it was a policy they had and wasn't written anywhere.

They said they would downgrade my account, saving me about 10 bucks, to just one month instead of 3. But they absolutely would not refund me the money, though they had no intention of unsuspending my account until I send them my sensitive private documents.

I am currently disputing this transaction through my bank.

What I did see of the site when I was there:

Most of the men were very old
Everyone was from California
I was contacted by a 50 year old man right away - though I'm 22.

Making the profile:

It was very hard.
They asked what must have been between 100-200 questions - all very psychological in nature, so it took a while to answer.
I tried to put in my personal details: height, build, hair, etc. - but they refused to display that stuff unless I put in my weight. I don't like telling even my mother my weight, not that I'm fat, but it's a private thing.

I had to redo the profile about 10x, and it still didn't work. Finally I tried logging out then back in and that's when I found out my account was suspended.

Overall: This was a horrible waste of time, and currently a big waste of money.

Hate this site! These men are in the construction/agriculture/landscape profession with the same background: widowed, no children, obtaining mining contract, and probably from Nigeria who desperately wanted to know your personal email address and telephone so that they can ask for your money.

Spark is a bright site with unique interface and advanced features. I like using it though I haven't met anyone yet. I'll do my best to meet my love there!

I can't say that Spark is the best dating site but it's not bad actually

I really-really love spark.com. It’s my second home but virtual one! Thanks!

When I registered spark.com I was another person: shy with too many hangs-up. But now I’m always ready to talk and meet new people. Internet dating has given me a chance to change myself completely.

Hi everyone! I think online dating is really exciting thing. I joined spark.com because it has cool design and all needed features. Now I’m dating with pretty girl from my city and we gonna meet next Friday…
