Are you ready to meet someone on Mingle2, but don\u2019t want to be scammed<\/a>? If you\u2019re looking to chat, date, or find a long-lasting connection that isn\u2019t with a scammer, spammer, catfish, or bot \u2026 read on and don’t forget to use Social Catfish’s<\/a> tools to avoid common Mingle2 scams and pitfalls!<\/p>\n

What is Mingle2?<\/b><\/h2>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Music-from-the-app-530495-scaled.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”100%” align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”center” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

Developed in 2008, Mingle2<\/a> was previously known as \u201cJust Say Hi\u201d. It is free online dating that has 39 million members, 3 million views a day, and over 600k new members added per month! While the website is free, paid membership options do exist.<\/p>\n

While some daters successfully find their match,<\/a> other users call it a money vacuum or \u201ccon\u201d site and believe that many of the free users they encounter are scammers. If you do go on Mingle2, as a paid member, you can have your profile highlighted and appear first in search results! Let\u2019s explore whether or not the dating platform is worth your time or money, or if it’s just filled with Mingle2 scams.<\/p>\n

Types of Mingle2 Scams<\/strong><\/h2>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Receiving-text-message-374690-scaled.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”100%” align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”center” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

Wondering if you\u2019ve been scammed? These are the complaints that many Mingle2 daters say that they encounter!<\/p>\n

Fake Accounts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Unfortunately, if you use Mingle2, you can expect to see many fake accounts. How can you tell? Users report that these profiles often showcase only one photo of a suspiciously (too!) attractive person.<\/p>\n

They also report that these fake profiles seem to stay viewable, leading some users to question whether or not the Mingle2 admins make an effort to remove the profiles promptly. One dater explained<\/a>, \u201cThe fake profiles are obviously fake\u2026 Any comments [about fake profiles] to that effect, on their discussion boards, are taken down instantly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scammers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Expect scammers<\/a> (posing as daters) to come out of the woodwork and try and gain access to your password, email address, and phone number. As one frustrated Mingle2 user complained, online, \u201cIn just 24 hours I experienced the same social engineering attempts to gain my email, Hangouts, phone number. These fake profiles are part of a criminal conspiracy that the FBI needs to look at seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Mingle2 wrote back to that concerned user and said, \u201cWe apologize for your bad experience on our site. We are doing our best to weed out these scammers.<\/a> Our team of admins is working tirelessly to block and keep the scammers out. Thank you for your patience.\u201d<\/p>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Sending-message-384111-scaled.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”100%” align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”center” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

Bad Customer Service<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What\u2019s worse than scammers<\/a>? Probably not much! However, when daters DO encounter scammers<\/a>, it would be nice to know that the dating company they are using is concerned. One dater complained that they were billed one year after canceling their subscription to the paid side of Mingle2.<\/p>\n

Romance Scammers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Right now, there are thousands of romance scammers<\/a> who will fall in love \u2026 with your wallet! Romance scammers<\/a> will pull out all the stops and message you sweet nothings, but their real goal will always be your money. They will try and ask for a small loan, gift cards, ask you to receive cash, or try and get your bank information.<\/p>\n

What to Do if You\u2019re a Victim of Mingle2 Scams<\/strong><\/h2>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Using-mobile-app-on-smartphone-538373-scaled.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”100%” align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”center” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n
