This is my second time finding a dating service that is fraudulent, not by choice. The companies are changing names up as other companies, but they are still the con artists that are preying on indecent women, mostly, over 50. They reel you in with 20 free credits to start. this only last through 4 short sentences. Do not question why your conversation did not get finish or you end up with a terminated account, for good. They give no warning that your account will close, just closes it, no explanations. The customer service is horrible. The billing just close your account down. If, they suspect you are sharp enough to know something is not right with the pricing, they shut you down. This is a bigger scam then the other companies they are flying by night with, in my opinion. Please do not join, or you will lose your money on men who are non existance. The site is using professional models, no way to receive a real in person meeting, and you chat till they use all your paid chat time. The men are not being charged, it is in fine print under their bio. I am here trying to help stop another American Woman, from being a victim to this International Scam. They are ripping off clients with AI appearance of men available, but there are non, just fake widower men, and few divorced. Beware The Scam. The Other Reviews Here about this Golden Romances Company, are correct. Beware, Beware, Beware

I spent about 10 USD in my currency it's R168 rand but what was funny l responded less than 10 times and my credits were finished.. All the men look perfect.. I was like what. This is Ai or group people sitting around waiting for people how are they still online since l wasn't there for 2 weeks and what about time zones.. These people are making money, l thought I was the only one who noticed this is a brilliant scam..

So far the app has proven successful. Easy to join this online chat. Doesn't feel performative. Highly impressed.

The app isnt great for android users, but fairly easy to use in general. It is VERY expensive.

Please people, don’t go on this site. Mist of the people are fake and use photos from internet.
It’s a really money pig site. My bank blocked all my transactions because it’s under investigation that the site is a big scam

Stay away!!!
It took just 24 hours and $60 to figure this site out. It’s like playing slot machines at a casino. All of the men are widowed which I found weird or maybe that’s the gimmick?! Then you have the thirty something’s and ohhh my lord they DO NOT follow your preferences at all. All these guys have a “professional” status, Dr,s, Engineers, Physicists etc…you mean to tell that you’re making all this $$$ and can’t find someone in real life? I could go on but nevertheless it’s a
SCAM ALERT 🚨!!!

How my name got onto this site, I have no idea. All I've gotten is messages from men overseas, and none of them will buy credits. This is a total scam. Beware Ladies!

There is no meaningful way to verify who is actually behind the profiles on GoldenRomances.

Different accounts used the same language, avoided moving off the paid platform, remained constantly available, and repeatedly pushed content that cost credits to open.

A dating site that monetizes every interaction should provide far more transparency about who users are actually talking to. I would not spend money here.

It is incredibly expensive for women. If you live in Canada, it can cost $50 for a 5 mins conversation! The verified men do not pay to communicate. If you are a verified woman, you cannot chat with a verified man. This site is a complete cash grab and every man is spanish speaking, some not even living in North America. No one wants to leave the site, so women have to keep paying over and over again. I spent $250 and know nothing about anybody. The questions are AI for sure and I'm not even sure these men are real. The conversations are jilted and do not flow normally. I wasted so much money for nothing. There are sites by other names like this, but it's all the same site with the same spanish men, same "credit" system designed to strip a woman's bank account but let the men talk for free. On average the men have 20 pictures ... that's not normal! This is a complete SCAM!!! Customer service is a joke and AI responses for everything!

I continue to receive notices of Asian dating sites to my Facebook Account. When I respond to the add and pay for access to the dating I receive a message from the dating app that my account is permanently suspended. No explanation just another racist policy that I get subjected to by the many Asian Dating sites that send ads to my Facebook account. If I am suspended from Asian dating sites with different names. They need to delete the profiles and photos that I upload. Many of their sites subjected me to Chatbots & AI matches. Furthermore I believe Im being discriminated against because Im a Black woman.

I paid £12 only to send a few minutes chats and my money was gone. Just mess than 30mins and you took my £12, requesting that I make much more higher payment to continue chatting, that’s poor.

I concur with all the comments about it being a scammer site. I communicated with one profile that after being put off on meeting in person, did my own social media research and found the real guy---who is GAY!!! Reported it to the site and they denied it even after providing proof. Was able to get my money back from my credit card company. BEWARE AND AVOID THIS SITE!!!

Websites zoals GoldenRomances en vergelijkbare platformen zoals StouteDate, werken inderdaad met een verdienmodel waarbij professionele chatoperators (of chat-animatoren) worden betaald om jou zo lang mogelijk aan de praat te houden. Hoewel de websites aan de buitenkant lijken op reguliere datingsites voor mensen die op zoek zijn naar liefde, is de realiteit achter de schermen puur zakelijk.
Hoe dit soort websites werken
Het mechanisme achter deze platforms is heel specifiek ingericht op winstmaximalisatie:
• Betalen per bericht (Credit-systeem): Je betaalt op deze sites meestal niet via een vast maandelijks abonnement, maar met virtuele munten of credits. Elk bericht dat je verstuurt (en soms zelfs het openen van een foto of mail), kost een x-aantal credits.
• Inzet van chatoperators: De profielen waarmee je praat, worden in veel gevallen niet beheerd door de personen op de foto's. In plaats daarvan zit er een netwerk van ingehuurde medewerkers achter (via externe chatbureaus).
• Vergoeding per bericht (De 'fee'): Deze chatoperators krijgen inderdaad een vergoeding (fee) per getypt bericht. Hoe meer berichten zij jou laten sturen, hoe meer credits jij verbruikt, en hoe meer geld de operator én de website verdienen.
• Nooit afspreken: Het doel van de operator is om het gesprek oneindig te rekken. Ze zullen altijd vleiend zijn en interesse tonen, maar een echte ontmoeting of het uitwisselen van telefoonnummers wordt telkens met een smoesje uitgesteld. Als je van de site afgaat, stopt hun inkomstenstroom immers.

Site was 100% fake women they’re always online with generic pictures at all the same poses from the same photographer and avoid the real questions are way too beautiful and not real

Honestly, it seems like the girls are hired by the platform. They always steer the conversations in a direction designed to force the other person to spend more and more credits, and even the dialogues are very similar, as if they're following a script. Sometimes, despite the time difference, they reply immediately. Don't they sleep? Are they AI or bots?

Everyone was right on this format. It’s very expensive and the girls just want you to keep spending money. It’s a rip off!

All the men are AI generated profiles and if someone were actually real, then customer services states you have to spend 5000 coins on that person to get their contact information. 5000 coins is approximately $1000.

Jared understood my problem AND fixed it!!

I literally was on this site for maybe 1.5 hours. I saw everything I needed to see. It’s definitely a money pit. One user of the site stated that he he’s been on the site for years. and stated “at least this is better than gambling.” This, can get one hooked for sure if one believes one will find a romantic connection. That’s pretty comparable to gambling if one truly believes the end goal is to gain something. That dopamine rush can be to ones demise if there is not proper impulse control and stabilized reasoning. . So pretty much, one has to re up for just basic communication. Everything is timed. It doesn’t make any sense. The platform makes its money off of people constantly paying for coins to communicate with others on this site. If someone sends you a special email, and you open it, that’s 10 coins. If you listen to an audio message, that’s another 10 coins.

So definitely, someone can get caught up financially. The profiles don’t seem real to me. Some of the responses are Ai like. In the short time that I did chat with one user I kept getting asked the same question over and over. So it does appear that there are either bots or possibly people who probably get some kind of incentive to keep people on this site, and that’s how the site makes its money. So I immediately communicated with the customer service chat box, and a rep did try to keep me on the site by offering 15 and then doubling to 30 coins as the “final, we don’t normally do this.” And then the rep gave me the option to go invisible, or completely deactivate and remove my profile. I went with that last option as that was my initial request. I did find the customer service to be attentive via email as well. Any discrepancies I may have had and shared was remedied. I appreciated that. Because of this, I changed my rating from 1 to 2 stars.

This particular dating website is just not my vibe because I don’t think that one should have to pay for every action pretty much. Plus, just the basics are not granted. Everything has a price like a pinball machine.

One is better off going to Coffee Meets Bagel and other sites like that. I can definitely see people preying upon other people. So. this is where discernment comes in. Well if something seems too good to be true, then it probably is. The pool of available profiles is plentiful, and your inbox does get quite full with emails and text messages. However, it does cost to communicate, and there is a lot of auto generation.
