I’ve received a handful of duplicate emails from a company I’m not going to mention, promoting their cheap dating sites and huge profile database. Why bother building your database the hard way? Just buy a CD of unreliable profiles. Great business decision.
Starting you own dating site may take years of time and thousands of dollars. However, with Datingsite Builder, for only $29.95 per month, no setup fee, no commissions, and no software to purchase, you can start in a minute.
We have over million of profiles and still growing. About 80% of them are active and 50% with photos. No matter you already have a website or want to start from scratch, our profile network will help!
What sort of of junk profiles is this company selling? 80% of a million is not a million, and who in their right mind is going to seed a dating site with profiles w/o photos?
If you think that’s a good idea you should go hit yourself in the head with a brick. Several times. And then go do something else you’re more suited to, like pyramid schemes.
Any time you want to buy profiles you need to be asking very specific questions about the validity of email addresses, staleness, mailing address and especially credit card information if available. Since you can’t do that with free sites, you might as well sink the money you were going to most likely waste into something useful like marketing unless your confidence level in the seller is high enough to offest the sinking feeling that you’re lighting a big pile of cash on fire.

http://www.datingsitebuilder.com are fraud/scam. they never care about customers. they ignore customers. i tried that and they act like i dont even exist so i had to cancel it. they are no good…
You got THAT right! They truly are awful! Even worse is http://www.datingprofilessale.com! They claim to sell you valid, active profiles but the profiles ae completely FAKE! They installed MY OWN profile onto my site but altered the gender to make me a male! There was another profile they installed on my site for a 16 year old girl! PLEASE DO NOT BUY PROFILES FROM THESE SCAMMERS!!!
Hi Diana,
I’m a reporter working on a story about this for the New York Observer. I would love to talk about your experience with you more. Shoot me an email ajeffries c/o observer.com.
Thanks in advance!
Diana Martin, you are scammer and your dating site http://www.hey-cupid.com is created only to fraud visitors
I am amazed at how professional the staff at http://www.datingprofilessale.com were. I have been dealing with the site for well over a year now, purchasing bulk online dating profiles for my network of dating sites. All the profiles that they provide are unique and the pictures of people are extremely attractive. Sex sell, and when people see the pictures of hot women with attractive dating profiles they seem to sign up to my site in a jiffy. I have doubled, almost tripled my earnings simply by purchasing dating profiles from http://www.datingprofilessale.com. I highly recommend the site for anyone that is looking to grow their dating member ship site.
I do not believe this post….It was most probably posted here by the people that run http://www.datingprofilessale.com
Paid them for over one month ago, but like Brian say it´s like I don´t exist. Tried several email but no answer. So if anyone are thinking about use them beware.
Have also heard that they are under investigation…
Ive sent these guys pay buttons and they act like i don’t exist too.They put the stuff up on line and leave you hanging yet they want your monthly fee…for what? bad service,poor support help? Someone needs to investigate them for fraud and why they don’t resond to your needs. Thanks!
I agree with everyone! What a waste of my money and time! I have been unemployed for a year, single mother…thought datingsitebuilder.com was the answer. NOT! I have entire online chats only to be left sitting there for over 30 mins. for an answer, after the rep has said hello how can I help you?
Also, several of there features don’t work….I have spent over 72 hours trying to set this thing up and I am no stranger to building my website.
Adding their profiles is a crock! My site is a networking site, no nudity allowed. I specified “normal profiles” I have received nudity on some pics on profiles on my site. After click on some of the profiles and reading the profiles. Profiles have questions geared towards body part sizes, sexual positions, etc.
I have just wasted over $98 on 3 months subscription & a couple of add ons.
I wish I would have came across this post before I spent money I can’t afford to loose.
Glad I had not invested in any advertising yet to have traffic come to my site! I have to work on another solution because I want to still process.
HI susan, kindly contact me johnpop224@yahoo.com i have a dating site too, there one or two things i will like to share with you.

Hi,
I am interested in buying the profiles you mentioned in the post.

Thanks,
Ruchir
I’m so glad I found this post. Wanting to start a new dating site, and found datingsitebuilder. I asked them for referrals (a few dating sites that are up and running using their script) and the rep tol dme they don’t give out client info. I mean really… If their script is as good as they claim why won’t they give out a few url’s to view?
My search continues…
I am interested in obtaining profiles you mentioned in the post.
Please let me know with the details how can retrieve that information.
Thanks,
Dav
I am from Datingsitebuilder.com. The reason we don’t provide referrals is because in the past, our clients were bothered by so many inquiries. Hope this answers Charles’s question.
As for profiles, it’s optional. There are thousands of new profiles added daily, it’s very hard to screen them immediately. I understand these complaints but we are trying hard to do better filtering work. If customers still not happy with the result, they can cancel profiles feature instead of canceling the account all together.
Any questions, please contact me.
Thanks,
Gordon
gordon,
I recently joined as a member of your organization. I didn’t recieve the API so anything trying to be uploaded is useless. I have been trying since Nov 22. 2010 to get someone to send me the API soi i can take advantage or the profiles I have rented yet no one from your organization has contacted me or sent me the necessary API. I am at the point of requesting a refund and filing a complaint with paypal. Please advise…
Thank you,
Billy Barnes
Your Special Someone
Beware of using Datingsitebuilder.com. Goron, Brandon, David, and anyone else in their organization are not credible at all. I signed up with them in October 2011, and in late December 2011 asked for my account to be cancelled and asked for a refund, as they did nothing that they said they would do. I started with a basic site, then, in order to add more features, expanded to their top level site, then ordered from them 1000 “custom” profiles. After I placed the order, I noticed that the few profiles that they were uploading onto my site were not customized at all to my specifications. I had to send repeated emails to their “support” office telling them that the profiles were wrong, and asked when they would be uploaded (because they told me it would take “up to 2 weeks”). After waiting over 4 weeks, I had only 191 profiles uploaded of the 1000 that I ordered. I then asked to cancel my account and asked for a refund. I received no refund at all, and also they still have not signed over to me the rights to my domain name that they registered for me.
I paid them (and lost) $450, plus I lost my domain name which they will not give back. DO NOT USE Datingsitebuilder under any circumstances! They are not reputable and will steal your money.

Beware of datingsitebuilder.com — even their ‘sales support’ is completely uninterested and rude so I can’t imagine how poor the support would be if you made the mistake of buying into this product. Meanwhile any software company that refuses to show any kind of demo of what you’re paying for clearly has something to hide!
This is not true. From my experience, providing demo “only hurts” the business because people are messing up your demo and it gives bad impression for other demo users.
You can try those guys.. Got 3m profiles in few weeks – good job.. The manager email is: saledating@gmail.com
saledating only accepts payment by western union plus the gmail email address (for a business!) combined with no contact phone or address on their contacts page made me very very suspicious of them.
We are ready to exchange with you profiles. We have more then 6 millions of regular, adult and elite dating profiles. http://www.sale-dating-profiles.com.
This gay is scammer, please be carefull, I knew him by email saledating@gmail.com: John
Jonh you are LIE! This company is scamed! And your real name is Edgars! You cheat dating sites owners. We contacted the FBI, they will find you soon!
Please be carefull, Edgars Apalais and Alex Dulub are scamers
Very interesting !!! Why you say what Edgars Apalais is scamer ? How I scam you ?
I check your name and your site and see what I never had any deal with you ! Why you lie ?
hey, just bought basic subscription at datingsitebuilder.com and couldn’t setup account as their site all in bugs and went to error page, emailed support, nobody answering, all site bugged, are they still there or they scam ? how can i unsubscribe and get money back ? what a waste
I have employed Edgars Apalais services from http://www.saledatingprofiles.net on several occasions, I have never had a problem contacting him on Saledatingprofiles@gmail.com. I often use him when I am expanding into new territories, what good is it getting new people on your site if there is noone there for them to see!
I have a site up with datesitebuilder.com. My biggest problem is, is that the profiles I got started with are heavily women from African countries trying to get men to give them banking information claiming to “transfer funds” to share with them. I know this because as a webmaster I also have a regular profile set up on my own site to view things on the “member side” and have responded to the message I get daily from these “women” claiming to be looking for love. I also have heard of that type scam because I saw it on dateline how they scam Americans out of money by using a woman with some sob story. I don’t want this pissing my real members off nor making ME look like a scammer. I sent a ticket to their support and got no response. I’m about to find a new home for my site in like 2 seconds. So since it seem like the people at datesitebuilder only respond to customers when they post complaints on forums, I will post one too then and ask…What are you gonna do to fix this shit! I am mad pissed!
Just got profiles from http://www.saledatingprofiles.com
Excellent service.
How much did they pay youfor this? You’re not fooling anyone! SCAMMERS!!!
Unfortunately, the online dating nowadays is turning into a one big scam. When we check out other dating services, we are horrified: 50% of males and 90% of females (just think about it!!!!) of their photo galleries are scammers. This is a fact! Those cute blonde girls from the United States in reality are scammers from West Africa or Mari El, Russia. If you want a scam free dating, sign up with our site! We don’t inflate our database with scammers. We maintain it small and clean, always putting quality before quantity. We don’t care if we have less members than other dating services, at least we know they are all real people, and that’s the only thing that matters. If our members say they are from the US or UK, we can 100% guarantee you they ARE from US or UK, and NOT from Nigeria, Ivory Coast or Russia. If a Russian girl on our site says she is from Moscow, you can be 100% sure she IS from Moscow, and not from Mari El. We check every registration: IPs, anonymous proxies registrations, e-mails, Yahoo profiles, everything. Sign up today! This is NOT an advertising. This is a truth of life.
I purchased profiles from these people. 154,000 dating profiles for $100. After receipt of payment I was of course redirected to a 404 error message “page not found”. I sent an email to support, but judging by the reviews here it looks like I’m probably screwed.
Awesome
ALL you guys are scammers and you get what you deserve. I hope all the companies you try and buy fake profiles from screw you hard. Do you think putting fake profiles on your dating site is an ethical thing to do? Or do you just not care and want to make money at any cost?
I was about to use saledatingprofiles.com but after reading this I am a bit concered about there service. Does anyone know of a good way to get a few start up profiles

I wish i have read this before i did buy the simple crappy script that they sell… that you can find better crap then that given for free online… also when you buy the php script it doesn’t come with a self install, it is only a basic script that for you to have articles or either edit the contact page or anything like it… you will need to code. Duh! In now a days… there’s way better then that little crap they sent me for 100 dls.. plus they are advertising something for 99 dls and charge you 100 dls. SCAM. Also once you try to get your refund, they will tell you… but you got everything that is over on the our page, what they forget to mention is that when you purchase a script the way their pages is written, it gives the impression that you will also get the installer and all the auto edit… wrong you get a basic script only… no installer, no click and edit text, no edit front page pictures or anything like it… then when you want your money back, then they will let you know… Oh… sorry … that was your mistake… because that one is the service that you pay with our server it is your fault and not ours that you buy the wrong one…hum?? well if it is a builder… normally in my way of thinking is a self install and easy to use where you don’t need to code… but they say… no the builder is only for people that pay for their server or have their monthly subscription … so… what now? Am i going to stay with something that i don’t need and cost not 99 but 100 (even on that was a mislead) and they say we cant refund… ??? Mislead people to believe that they are selling one thing and in fact sell you crap!! Scam Artists!!

http://make.mn/
Thank you guys for the information. I almost signed up for datingsitebuilder.com. I am so glad that I googled “scam” after the URL. Sorry you lost your money. I hope that you get some of it back. Have a good day.

Hi all,
Always remember that old but true saying… “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!”
If you’re starting a dating or social networking website, do NOT start off on the wrong foot by fooling around with fake profiles, “starter” profiles, or any BS of this nature. Grow your traffic slowly (unless you’ve got tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to market your site), differentiate yourself from the other sites (today you’ve got to be a niche since the general dating sites have all the cake), and start small (perhaps in the city you live in, then move into new cities when you have some level of critical mass). Build your site based on honesty, integrity and class. Be 100% genuine. And watch the people come. Even with their financial success, some of the big players are shameful for their errant ways of using fake profiles, winks, etc. Avoid the potential future lawsuits. Be absolutely sincere with your offering, and people will pay to be part of your website.
hello all, just to give you warning about this company.
I buy template on i say “template” it’s not!
it’s shame to sell this, you can’t do nothing with this and in reality you get one html page and psd just homepage nothing more…. interior page what this? :p
For 43 dollars use indian company thay can do for you for same price with better design and ergonomy.
And 8 days to have the possibility to downlad this “template”
look on web and you will find comments about this ghost company…

Very low prices
Hi ! A month ago I bought from http://www.datingprofilessale.com 1 million profiles for 500 dollars. In one month I made from this profiles 6000 dollars profit and I still continue getting more profit. Thanks a lot
WOW!!! Really???? NONSENSE!!! They will be exposed regardless to however many fake testimonials you have posted on this site!
Diana Martin , you are popular scammer , http://www.datingprofilessale.com is not a site with scammers and fraud people the owner helps people to make cash. The profile are lovely and make people sign instantly.
Diana Martin – blackmail me and ask $2000, if I don’t pay then she threaten to ruin my business http://www.datingprofilessale.com
Sorry, but once again this testimonial does not sound, feel or look real. Nice try guys at http://www.datingprofilessale.com but surely you can write a more believable testimonial than this for yourselves.
http://www.datingpro.com sale don’t working software and recommend pre-populate they don’t working website from Scammer website http://www.saledatingprofiles.com. Owners of http://www.saledatingprofiles.com thieve money and don’t give nothing back after they receive payment
This site Datingsitebuilder gave me a huge prejudice!! They stay with our users all to sell. Their website has huge errors!! And they know it. After closing the our websites, because not more arguments foe webmasters. I will report this fraud to FBI
The person called “Laura” who is attacking Dianna Martin also sounds like someone working for: http://www.datingprofilessale.com. I guess they do not like the fact that Dianna was asked by the New York Observer reporter Adrianne Jeffries to contact them and detail her experience with http://www.datingprofilessale.com L0L, L0L, L0L!!!!
Sorry, but Anon who posted on May 14th 2011 has got it WRONG! Most people who are buying profiles for their dating sites are NOT trying to buy FAKE profiles. They are buying profiles to populate their new dating sites because they believe and are being told the profiles are of REAL people!
WARNING! -SCAM-SCAM!
Double billled, phone number disconnected, dont reply for days, no support at all as stated, fake profiles, cancellation of account after being billed twice, misleading refund policy, rude, staff posting positive comments on forums to counter negative customer feedback…my money is gone, but I hope to warn as many people as I can, until the authorities wise up and shut these guys down for good..
http://www.sale-dating-profiles.com and http://www.datingprofilessale.com have been selling my personal info (email address, location, age, photos etc…) and I just found out a few hours ago. All those FAKE profiles which were created using my information and photos is really disturbing/traumatizing. I found it really strange I am a member of all those dating sites I never knew existed or signed up for, and have active profiles on. Apparently they bought my information from http://www.sale-dating-profiles.com and http://www.datingprofilessale.com. One google search and all you find is me on all those dating sites. Isn’t that wrong??? Selling my information to the world without my permission or knowledge? Well guess what! I plan on having my team of lawyers involved. I see it as identity theft when the websites use my photos and info, and that I do not take lightly. http://www.sale-dating-profiles.com and http://www.datingprofilessale.com better prepare to hear from my team of lawyers if they can’t accept responsibility and remove all my information from their database, because I NEVER gave them permission to use my info either, farless make money off it.
