This site is a complete scam. They don't let you share contact details even when you both agree to it and say the following: Jackie: Sharing contact information becomes an option once a strong connection is established between you and your friend. This is to make sure you both trust each other and feel safe about it. After spending 5000 credits with someone special and passing verification, you can exchange contacts. Before that, the system keeps contact details private to protect your connection as it grows. Jackie: I want to emphasize that the 5000 credits required for accessing this feature are solely dedicated to enhancing your communication with your partner. If you're curious about why it's 5000 credits, let me be transparent – we believe this amount is sufficient for you both to connect more intimately and ensure you're prepared for the next phase in your relationship. There is nothing stated in there terms and conditions about this, which is a complete ripoff especially when you both agree to the exchange of contact details and get the same response back from the customer support team. How does a site like this expect good reviews is they keep stopping people from connecting till you pay them £1000 or more

Violetdates uses a prepaid system that initially is set at a low price but increases after a user uses the free 20 credits and the first low cost top-up. Men can request a woman's contact details for free but must pay 3000 credits to receive it (only if the woman agrees). The photos are totally edited - women have sent me recent photos and the differences are substantial (wrinkles, weight differences, etc). Women can send audios and videos (that are expensive to view) but men cannot. Men and women can exchange emails (but the cost increases after sending the first email) and messages (priced per minute). The WORST feature of this site (and its sister sites in other countries) is that the site employees can PRETEND to be the woman you chat with - twice I have questioned the woman I usually chat with and the woman incorrectly answered questions about her son and hobbies that she had previously repeatedly told me. This site CHANGES the features without consulting any users - so good luck if you are excessively short or tall because there is no height (or weight or English ability) listed anymore. Recently the age and city were reshown on the Profile page after being removed for more than 6 months. This site is a SCAM. Never use this dating site (based in Cypress) that requires payment for credits. Instead, use a site that charges by the month for its features. This site can write whatever disguised reasons they want about the charges, profiles, etc but this site and its sister sites are a SCAM.

Dear User, Thanks for sharing your feedback. Please note that our platform has been designed primarily for secure and convenient online communication with people across the globe and it is not a dating website. People registered on our website have different reasons to communicate with other users, hence the experience of each particular user is unique, as well as their results from using the platform. It is true that you need to have enough credits to use some of the services, however, you only pay for the services you are provided with. You get to choose the services that are of your interest and control your spending on those personally. At the same time, you may easily use the website without being distracted by extra advertisements. We always provide high-quality support services for our members. Every query is carefully reviewed by our moderation, financial or technical departments. Our customer support team is ready to help you with any questions 24/7. This means that we have to go to certain expenses to maintain the same level of diligence for all our customers. There are indeed many good-looking members on our platform as it is rather common for many people to present themselves in the best way possible on social media to attract more attention. Therefore, our members sometimes hire professional photographers to have the best pictures on their profiles or may use a bit of editing in order to make the photos look even better. At the same time, we carefully moderate the website content and we do our best to make sure that the photos posted in the profiles of each particular user belong to them. Please feel free to reach out to our [email protected] email with any other comments that you want to share. Best regards, VioletDates Support Team

VIOLET DATES & BRAVO DATES! When the legal systems finally catches up with this bunch of parasites I will travel to any court in europe to see them go down with a big smile on my face! Legal cases have already been lodged against these scum bags who have stolen the identities of unlocked social media accounts from models, popular and vaunerable people along with their personal photos, personal stories and glamourised them unlawfully and fraudulently on this Violet Dates site and others be warned! Please please do not be CONNED by subscribing to it. The photographs and profiles of beautiful models you see will throw themselves at you at all times of the day and night with all sorts of intimacy and realisim. Unfortunately the reality of the whole project is a complete and utter fraud! These scumbags even have a banner on site for you to donate to the Ukrainian people, how low can they go. You will find that many of the girls listed in eastern european counties are now all of a sudden now listed in the the Ukraine, hoping you will take pitty on them when the reality is that girls you think that you are speaking to is probably some big sweaty spic, sitting with several dreamed up accounts in front of them laughing all the way to the bank with your money. The opporators of this site are disgusting human beings, I will throw a party when they are finally caught and brought to justice which is thankfully getting closer! How humans can do this to each other for profit, I just cannot contemplate! Jumping on a bandwagon and using a pity tactic of a war torn counrty to help them profit from Ukrainian dismay is no less than sick in my opinion. Scumbags, is the only way I can describe anything to do with the Violet Dates & BRAVO dates prodogies. I will hopfully soon be listing deatails of a barrister who is dealing with this fraudulent lot, and a route for us to join forces to prosecute them. Hopfully their assets and proceeds of crime will be liquidated, our monies refunded to us and this lot jailed for thier disgusting illegal and fraudulent online conduct.

Dear Galvin, Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations. We are a safe company, we do our best to prevent scam activity from members' side and in case of some situations we always investigate and take measures. We check validated members' profiles carefully. Firstly, in order to register, every member takes a short video of herself / himself holding the ID, stating the current date, and confirming his/her consent for the registration out loud. Secondly, we verify if the information provided in the registration video corresponds to his/her profile info. Our moderators check if it is the same person — both at the video and at the profile picture. Thus, we can assure the person you are talking to is the person you see in the profile. Lastly, we verify if the personal documents member attaches are valid. If any profile does not meet the requirements of the check-up at any of the abovementioned stages, it gets deactivated. Please feel free to reach out to our [email protected] email with any other comments that you want to share. Best regards, VioletDates Support Team

I have used this site and a sister Latin site Funchatt. I have met a number of members on both sites and have been with 3 on Funchatt for a year. I DO have some skepticism at times but for the most part they have proven themselves to me. However, sometimes there are red flags - who doesn't have a cell phone that owns a business? I have even created another profile with a different name and "tested" my regulars. They were more than happy to chat with me so I'm feeling I am being used and something isn't right. How does a member chat with multiple guests? How can I be the only one? Are the members being paid when they receive messages, read letters, open photos and videos etc? Speaking of that, why in the world are videos so expensive to open?! They are only 20 seconds long! Various features are much too expensive for no reason. I am very frustrated with the price of many of the "features" on these sites especially videos. It's really unfortunate. I rarely open them. I have other complaints and suggestions including adding more emojis especially 'FACE' emojis. There isn't even a "hug" emoji! The site operator should communicate with me for advice on how to improve it. I have much experience here. But I have met some members that I am pleased with and am not suspicious of them as I have tested them carefully. Occasionally I see a member that is ALWAYS online - NEVER sleeps! Red flag! I DO wonder what their actual objectives are as this doesn't seem to be a real dating site but I do have fun anyway. I remain a cautious user.

Dear Member, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. First and foremost, according to our Terms of Use, members shall not create duplicate profiles. The violation of this rule is a ground for blocking off your accounts, except for one. Please be reminded that you shall not attempt to create a new account with our service, otherwise, we will block all of your accounts permanently. Also, note that members may be online whenever they want or can, sometimes they may leave their computer on with the open website, that’s why they are shown online, but they are away from the computer. We do not pay the validated members for communication with other members, and prohibit our Regional Partners to do so. If we find out that the member is paid by the Partner for communication on his/her behalf, we fine the Partner and immediately delete the member’s profile. Moreover, we try to make sure that all the validated members are interested in communication with other members of the website. For this purpose, we introduced the difficult procedure of verification steps for them. All of the members consciously made their decision to verify and register their accounts on the website to communicate with penfriends they find here and move forward beyond the platform if everything is going well. We maintain a high level of customer support, which comes at a certain expense. There are different departments that care about our clients’ privacy and safety, investigate unusual cases to prevent different unexpected situations, and are aimed at providing only real and live communication. We are always at our customers’ service and ready to assist in any situations occurred. However, we are always glad to offer some free credits to our customers, so please contact us via [email protected] in order to learn the details. If you have any doubts regarding any member on the site, please provide us with their profile ID numbers, gathering as many details as you can regarding that issue along with the comments describing the issue you have faced, or any of your concerns regarding those members. Then please send that information with the proofs to [email protected] and we will check the case. Should you have any questions, we are always here to help you. Feel free to contact us back at any time. Best regards, Support Team VioletDates

Complete scam. They just use photostock models pictures and get a bot to ask you short irevelant questions like is it raining there to get you to spend credits. Site claims you have to buy 3000 before you are allowed to contact fake ladies to ask permision to talk outside the site via email, whatsapp. Totaly fake site, no actual women exist just a total scam. Avoid

Dear Michael, What makes you feel this way? We have never scammed anyone, and we review every complaint individually. From our side, we do not tolerate scam. In case the investigation results confirm the violation of the rules, such members will be banned on the site. There are many good-looking members on the platform. Living in the social media age, you can't always tell where it is the natural beauty and where it is a great make-up, light and professionally taken photos. It is only natural for every member to try to present himself/herself in the best way possible. Some members may use general messages found on the Internet or translated, e.g. by Google translator or the translator, to set up an initial contact. They have no access to what other members write. Please, keep in mind that it's not forbidden to share personal contacts with your friends on the website. Pay attention, that the Internet isn't a secure space for sharing personal information with people you barely know. The website holds no responsibility for the validity of contacts you receive directly from other members. If you want to get confirmed and valid contact information of another member, we have a special procedure – “Contact Request”. Please let me know if you want to know more about it. I do share your concerns and I realize that trusting someone you talk to is crucial for you. From our side, we have done everything to make the platform safe. We have established the process of the ladies' verification by our Regional Partners. If someone doesn't seem real to you or behaves suspiciously as you might think, you can always share this with our 24/7 Customer Support. We will immediately review any situation that happened. Please feel free to contact us via [email protected] in case of any questions. Kind Regards, VioletDates Customer Support

This is a con site. Just to rip you off. Test the site if you want. But the communication between you and your gorgeous one actually seems to be AI generated as some responses do not reflect the questions you ask. The site lures you in and before you know it you have spent a lot of money with no result.

Dear Marcus, Thank you for sharing your feedback about the website. We may assure you that we ask our members to complete the verification procedure and confirm their identity. They do so by presenting documents and recording a video. Once the Moderation team receives such information, the member's profile becomes verified, meaning there is a Verified Member sign. However, it always depends on the person whether s/he wishes to write to you message/letter, moreover, the content of that text. We do realize that some of our features might seem too expensive for you. However, we would like to emphasize that our main purpose of the customer’s safety on the platform. From our side, we try our best to prevent any unpleasant experience of our customers and verify profiles before posting them on the website (such members have a label "Trusted User" on the website, who confirm their registration with the documents and check background). Also, we always consider any suggestions from our customers and constantly improve the website for a better user experience. We have big plans to develop our project and our technical specialists try to come up with the best new features to help you avoid any difficulties in communication with your pen friend. Moreover, our support department working 24/7 is always ready to take care of any issues you could come across. We really try hard and hope to make our efforts justified for our customers as well as your investments! Nevertheless, if you have any doubts regarding any member on the site, please provide us with their profile ID numbers, gathering as many details as you can regarding that issue along with the comments describing the issue you have faced, or any of your concerns regarding those members. Then please send that information with the proofs to [email protected] and we will review the case. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate it if you decide to review the feedback, taking into account the explanation on how we set our prices as well as the verification procedure. Best Regards, Support Team VioletDates

Seems VERY similar to CharmDate which has sister Asian and Latin sites and operates on a PPL - pay per letter - basis, though the cost of credits does appear to be a bit more reasonable than the Qpid-owned/managed sites. Like CharmDate, the site appears to be populated exclusively by statuesque, beautiful individuals, with rarely one “minger” ever showing up - that fact alone sets alarm bells ringing. A scan through the reviews also suggests that most of them have been submitted by friends or employees of the business, written as they are in very uncomfortable English - who uses “interlocutors” on a regular basis!? This may or may not be a scam. I suspect that some of the women aren’t here for genuine reasons and some of the messages I’ve received seem to support that suspicion, so “left-field” and unrelatable are they…
