The site and business model is predicated on keeping men "hooked" on writing endless letters and chatting with women. Also phone calls are charged at an outrageous price. Trying to get their personal data is cumbersome and many times impossible. When you finally are ready to meet, you will be charged extra for an interpreter, whether you need him or not. In short, a lucrative business model and a total scam for the customer. What, no negative stars available?
When the first search result you see on a search engine is "Charming Date Scams" it's time to wake up... Basically all this website does is provide online companionship to lonely, misunderstood, intoxicated or foolish souls.
You will pay an exorbitant rate to correspond with the images of sweet understanding women. The company's privacy policy prohibits the exchange of any personal information -Therefore you will never have the opportunity to meet any of these people in reality or verify their existence.
Do not be fooled by the reviews of company representatives on this or any other review site. I fell for the scam head over heals and lost about $200 -be careful and defer to traditional wisdom: "If it's too good to be true, it probably is."
If you are lonely and need the interest of a woman -post an add to craigslist or backpage. You will no money and be able to entertain the idea of meeting someone in person.
You will not meet anyone wake up it's actual cost is $42.00 USD per hour it's a scam
Read the T& C' YOU CAN NOT MAKE DIRECT CONTACT WITH ANY ONE!
ISN'T THAT THE WHOLE POINT OF BEING ON A DATING WEB SITE
PULL UP YOUR STUMPS TAKE YOUR BAT & BALL & POQ if it's to good to be true, then it's a scam thankfully dogged a bullet on this one

This site is just a scam
This site is just a scam, girls are meant to keep you on site and make you pay for every mail, photo and minute. If there is any serious girls there then I did not meet any. And you will at least burn a lot of unnecessary money trying to find them

CharmDate Scam
I was writing a long letter to this Moscow woman when my letter vanished. In the letter I was mentioning one woman who would write 3 letters that were very short so she could bleed me dry. Another attractive women said she liked my photo, although I had not submitted one. Then I noticed the Moscow women's information had vanished from the "Hi" section. My brother from the FBI should know about this organization.

It is scam, should be zero stars!
It is scam, easy to find out: arrange a camshare and you see a video, not a real person. Obviously all goes automaticly as you can show a sheet of paper with something written on it, then ask what's on it and you get no answer! At least not what is on the paper. Write down your e-mail address and you get disconnected and Charmdate claims that was due to a bad line. Nonsense!
Do the same camshare a week later and don't be suprised you see the same video! In the meantime they keep collecting money. Just stay away!!! It saves you money.
Ask for a call, you get called and ask for their e-mail address and you get disconnected, bad line!
There are a few other tricks to check whether they real, it is pretty simple once you ask the right questions.
Everything else what the other people who had a negative experience said is true.
The 'positive' reviews (more than 1 star) are most likely posted by themselves.
Then there is another way to find out the women are fake:
Ask them for a selfie with a paper with your first name written on it within 10 minutes, you can bet it won't come.!

I've been on this site for months - scam
This site is run by a Chinese company, located in China, keep that in mind based off of rules and restrictions you will encounter.
I've been on this site for months. I happened to find it while trying to help a friend surf the net for a quality dating site, who had just went through a bad breakup. A woman's profile caught my eye, named Polina, so I created a profile to test its legitimacy out and talk with her.
After creating a profile, you realize no feature or form of communication is free. The site uses Credits that you purchase, on average a credit is anywhere from $4 - $8 each, depending on the package you buy (2 credits = $15.99, 16c = $96, 100c = $399).
The site has the following communication options:
EMF Mail (works like email)
Chat Now (works like FB Instant Messenger)
CamShare (works like Face Time - 2 way video chat)
Call Service (works like a Phone Call)
Gift Service (you can send physical gifts to her, like using a flower shop)
I mostly used the EMF Mail communication feature, based on best bang for your buck. Here's the cost for using it: It costs you 1 credit to send a message (think of it as email) to the woman, 1 credit to view what she sent back, and 1 credit to open any additional pic she sends to you to view and 1 credit per pic you send her (1 pic is free to send and receive, beyond that, it'll cost you 1 credit per additional pic). Most women will usually try sending at least 4 pics to you, of themselves per message.
So in turn, just one communication to her and from her, can cost you anywhere from 2 credits to 8 credits - break that down into dollars you are looking at $8/16 - $32/64. Now imagine communicating daily with this person and begin to see the costs adding up.
Chat Now, has an array of different credit costs depending if you are sending emoticons, premium stickers, photos, video, scenes etc - bare minimum just using text chat between you two is .5 credits per 5 minutes.
CamShare, works similar to the features of Chat and its different array of costs. However, here it's .6 credits per minute.
Here comes the real kicker that many may not know about. These features and costs, cost nothing to the women who are on this site "looking" for a good man. Only men have to pay at this site!
This was verified by the woman I was in communication with. You can now understand why this site is a huge possible scam and con. I had even heard that many of these women get a % of what is spent on them in these communications, so they look at it as a job, not anything real between you two. Hence you see the same women's profiles up on this site for months/years etc (you mean as beautiful as most of these women are in these pics, they can't find a nice, good man? - ridiculous).
Also, where are the testimonials of the successes of the two of them meeting, communicating and got married..?
It's a shame that this site labels itself as a legitimate dating site. If that were the case, why aren't both parties paying to communicate? Shouldn't there be emotional and financial investment and risk for both, not just the men?
Many guys are more than likely going to get burned down the road on here, because all a woman has to do is promise this and that, to meet you eventually, while keeping you strung along, as you continue to pay to communicate with them. This would prevent that and more authenticity and legitimacy between both parties.
The woman I was talking to on here was a perfect example of this. For months I tried getting her to create a social media account, on FB, so we could use Messenger, so we could do all this for free. She kept coming up with excuses, "I'll look into it", "I haven't be able to yet, because works has been crazy", "I'm worried that your government may collect my information." "I don't know how to create a profile."
Really? You don't know how to fill in a few boxes to create a profile? You had to do the same thing here, pretty much the exact same way. - I call BS
I also heard excuses when she wanted to visit the US to meet up. "I'm talking to a friend, to find out more information on how to visit there." I heard this for over a month too.
Another issue is, the site tries keeping you there. It blocks any social media or email you may try sending to her. Probably because if you could, you both could leave and do all this for free.
Either she isn't seeing it or she's not acknowledging it (because she's probably making money there).
They do have a format, Request Contact Info, that can be used to get her contact info, however there are stipulations. You have to have sent and received 10+ EMF Mails, have a Qpid Trust Seal, and maintain good credit on the site for 90 days after your first successful credit or gift purchase - therefore, you have to pay for at least 3 months of services. After that, she has to approve your request, in which you pay an additional 10 credits per contact info she has up to 3 contact infos
