Teamo

Teamo was registered in 2010 and immediately began an aggressive PR campaign. The site was advertised practically everywhere: on TV, on the Internet, and in SMS mailings. Today it is one of the most famous Russian dating sites.

But is the service so good and does it really help to meet the right person? Is Teamo a scam or a useful and interesting resource? Let’s try to find out.

 

 

Why Teamo?

teamo.ru – is a vast network with a large number of profiles. Although the operator positions itself as a platform for serious relationships, people make contact here for different purposes: friendship, interesting communication, flirting, marriage and even intimacy. The established restrictions are rather related to the law (for example, it is forbidden to distribute pornographic, slanderous, offensive materials), but it is not required to create a couple with the help of the resource.

Whether this is a plus or a minus is up to the user to decide. However, there are possibilities in themselves. There is mandatory psychological testing, which allows one to get a more accurate picture of the owners of the account, to help in choosing a partner. There are also consultations with a psychologist, which for a Russian resource is a rarity. Profile is created for free, so you can evaluate the functionality of the site, how interesting it will be for you to be on it. But to use all the features you need to pay quite an expensive premium account. Among other things, a mobile app is available for iOS and Android.

 

How to Register at teamo.ru

Registration for teamo.ru starts with the main page, which presents a standard form: gender (yours and the one you are looking for), name, mail and password. Authorization through profiles in Mail.ru, Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook is also available.

 

The site does not always load the data quickly, but after a certain amount of time you find yourself in your personal account. The next step is to import images from a personal device or, again, social networks.

Then it is necessary to pass a psychological test (we will tell more about it below). This completes the registration process.

Teamo Account

After registration you have only two options: search and view profiles plus send a greeting to the person you like. The personal account itself consists of several sections:

• “Home is a search for people.
• “Suitable for me” – a selection of candidates who fit your profile as closely as possible.
• “My Page” is your profile.
• “Psychological portrait” – test results (we described it below).
• “Settings” – connect/disconnect paid options and notifications.

 

Teamo Mobile App

The service has its own mobile app, adapted for Android (version 4.1 and up) and iOS (9.0 and up) devices. Interestingly, the age limit here is specified as 17+, while only adults can use the large-format version. Otherwise, the options are the same: search and view profiles, send greetings, messages, gifts, testing, etc. Android users rated the software very poorly: 2.5 out of 5. Owners of “apple” phones and tablets – at 4.6/5.

 

Additional Services of Teamo

Almost all of the functionality in Teamo can be considered optional, because it is connected only when you sign up for a paid premium account. You are provided with:

• Ability to send and receive messages.
• Automatic selection of questionnaires by psychological parameters – 200 daily.
• Placing your picture in the profile feed.
• Views of actions performed with your profile by other users.
• Horoscope compatibility with the person you like.

If you have not paid anything, when you try to perform any of the above actions, the corresponding window will open. Premium costs 299 rubles for 7 days, 899 rubles for a month, and 1290 rubles for 3 months.

 

The Help of a Psychologist

On the site teamo.ru there is a special form that you can use to apply for a consultation with a psychologist, but only if you are registered on the site. The link to the page with it is located in the footer. The specialized section also includes a list of questions asked earlier. Right away we note the disadvantage: your comment is published openly, you can see your name, age, and even your photo. Accordingly, later it will not be difficult to filter the search, find your profile and use what you’ve shared for personal purposes – for example, to bring up the relevant topic, pressing on the “sore thumb. In addition, the resource is not closed from advertising: we, let’s say, “lucky” to see proposals for the sale of real estate.

 

Tests

To define your profile more accurately and to find an effective partner, Teamo offers you to complete your registration with a psychological test. The test contains 17 questions related to the characteristics of your personality (how you assess yourself): whether you accept responsibility, how lenient you are to the weaknesses of others, etc. There is a choice of options (textual), associations, agreement/disagreement with the statements. The result is a psychological portrait.

Compatibility Analysis

The site’s compatibility analysis is based on the testing we discussed above. With that in mind, you see a selection of questionnaires that are supposed to match your psycho-type. They can be found in the “I’m lucky” and “Suitable” sections.

 

 

How to Start Online Dating at teamo.ru

To start dating on the site teamo.ruYou can choose one of the actions at your discretion:

• Greeting is a free option. You don’t enter into a dialogue, you just let them know that you’re ready for them.
• A gift is a paid option. A sign of attention, showing sympathy.
• Message is a paid option. You initiate the communication yourself or reply to the sent letter.

Also, they pay attention to you if you appear in the compatibility selection based on a psychological test or if you view your profile (premium account holders see that you have visited them “as a guest” and may become active).

Filling out a dating profile on the Teamo site

The questionnaire on the site is standard: name, age, zodiac sign, education, information about work, marital status, having children, interests and knowledge. By and large, this aspect is given much less attention than the same psychological assessment. That is why you will not be interviewed seriously when you register.

 

Online chat for communication

The Teamo dialog system is taken from social networks. You see in front of you a list of messages from different people. And by clicking on any of them you get to a separate online chat with correspondence. Everything here is the same as everywhere else: typing, smiles, adding photos. Links to third-party resources are prohibited.

 

Recall that reading messages is only available after purchasing a premium account, so free access involves only browsing the feed, but not opening specific chats.

Tips for communicating on the site

Considering that there may be people with different intentions on the site, we advise you to be cautious when engaging in dialogues and not to give your contacts in the first days of communication. Pay attention to the time when the person you are talking to is online. If it is always daytime, it makes sense to think: Maybe he or she is married or unemployed and refuses to talk in the evenings when most people are at home.

Completeness of the questionnaire is also a “beacon”. The more detailed are the columns related to character and habits, the more the person is interested in communication. The actual information (name, age, city of residence, etc.) is easier to come up with, especially since a mismatch between the personal characteristics described and those manifested in contact with the person will also tell a lot.

 

Teamo Bonuses

We did not find any information about bonuses on Teamo. In theory there should be contests and giveaways of free gifts, but nothing related to this is described in the personal account after registration. It turns out that the only way to get remuneration is to participate in a referral program. But for this you need to have your own site, blog, channel or something like that.

Referral program

For owners of their own resources, Teamo offers participation in a referral affiliate program. When you post a link to a dating site, you earn money:

• Up to 30% from the check each user (referral) who came to the site on your unique (referral), if the attendance of your resource is less than 100 000 people a month.
• Up to 50% if your traffic is above 100 thousand rubles/month.
• Individual terms of cooperation, if you also have a dating site.

 

Complaints About Teamo

There are a huge number of complaints about Teamo. Users talk about the uselessness of the resource and are dissatisfied with the need to pay to get the right to communicate with other people. And they consider the cost of the paid services to be excessive. Negative feedback is also devoted to the following problems:

• Lack of real people – communication, according to the authors of the comments, happens with the bots.
• Technical failures when trying to log in to the account, upload photos.
• Blocking an account for unreasonable reasons.
• Illegal charges, such as double charges for one service.

In general, the reputation among the Internet audience of the resource is terrible.

Supervisory Authorities

Teamo belongs to the company Teamo.ru LLC, registered in Moscow in 2010. The activity of the operator is regulated only by the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation. However, here we are talking only about the financial component. In other aspects we have to be guided only by the general legislative norms of the Russian Federation, because there are no special normative acts concerning online dating sites – they all fall under the concept of “information resource”. Thus, a license to conduct activities is not required. The registry, however, lists as the main activity related to the use of computer technology and information technology.

Is Teamo a Scam?

The resource left an unpleasant impression: it seemed to have Teamo The site has a huge audience and rich functionality, but it turns out that almost everything on the site is paid for – you can’t even correspond with other people without buying a premium subscription. And payment is a separate story. It’s deducted automatically every subsequent month if you forget to disable the option. And during the transaction, judging by the reviews, there are often failures and the sums are withdrawn in excess of the stated. Or the service simply does not activate. As for the presence of bots, this information is difficult to verify, but the mere fact that there are so many complaints about it speaks volumes. Teamo is not a scam in the classical sense, but the project cannot be called bona fide.

 

Conclusion

Teamo turned out to be a complete disappointment: expensive service, fraudulent transactions, lack of user activity (many visitors to official forums say that 1-2 people write to them every 2-3 weeks), open publication of questions to the psychologist (and this, by the way, is quite personal information, which can be used for their purposes by fraudsters), etc. We have come to the conclusion that the resource is not worth the money. If you have to pay for your account, you should do it on a safer and more technological platform. We don’t recommend this dating site.
