social website
There is no place to access personal account on website.
Account mysteriously turned into paying account without my approval. Cannot access account to cancel or find any help to do so. I thought it was illegal to not have this information clearly stated and on the website main page. I do not know where to turn for help and I absolutely don't want to pay for a service I did not choose.
Thank you
bear411 user has my profile posted on facebook
A user didn't like my constructive criticism and posted my comment from here to a group on facebook. TuckerPup is the user on here from Salem Oregon. It violates the group policy on facebook and I have contacted both the admin of that group and the member to remove the post. It reveals my hiv status and my picture which I do not want. I also do not feel it is right that he is using mine and bear411 intellectual property on another site when this was a private message as well to him. If you check the logs the user is still contacting me to see if I would date him?

bear411
Similar to others, was on for a couple of years. but generally the same o same o, seldom if ever actually hooked up with anyone. But my biggest complaint is how outdated the site is, not always easy to find people you've talked with or are interested in, there's no place to contact the moderator about issues,
and MOST IMPORTANTLY, when you pay to sign up there's a clause that any renewal charges will happen automatically forever, there's no way of canceling one's membership, finally had to go to my charge card and they
canceled the charge, and thus ended my membership.
website and credit card renewal verification
I tried several times to renew an annual subscription to this site only to run into Verotel blocking me. I wrote them to find that they discovered I was on a fraud list. I called my Bank Capitol One 360 and they had no clue what list Verotel was using. I tried to get Verotel to contact my bank and even supplied the information to contact them. This was like talking to a brick wall. I then solicited the moderator/founder of the site itself. They system was automatic and would not allow any further contact. Over a week went by and this site refuses almost all things considered normal for paid members. My friends were frustrated and buddybear that runs the site seems more interested in new subscribers than retaining current or in my case former due to their credit card verification supplier. He had done nothing as I said, he was worthless until I told him to cancel my account and delete my profile. He seemed to be able to jump on that. If you experience anything aside from normal this Canadian run site and their Netherlands's run credit card verification company are not for you! Neither of them are capable of dealing with anything out of the norm.

I have had no response from greg in regards to closing my bear411 account. Made several attemps and hear nothing back from the websites owner, greg. This is unacceptable as i should have every right to close an account and my bank account should no longer be used and or charged.

I WANT MY BEAR411 ACCOUNT CLOSED, IMMEDIATELY...
blocking logging on
It use to be a somewhat decent site. Way back when if you were not a paying member based on your nickname you would only log on even days 2 4 6 ect or odd days 1 3 5 ect. Of I brought a membership after the odd conversations one has when the other person is only on the days you are off! It was not month after I bought a year membership the odd / even thing was totally dropped. So I never brought a membership again. Starting fall of 2013 I would go to log on, and get that chat was so popular that it was reserved for paying members. No biggie as I did not have to be on right then. However 2, 6, 9, 12. 18, 24, 36, 48, says later I still could not log on. Just get by a membership. 5 days later I was able to log in and get to go through 39 emails that had backed up. Now I have no idea when I will get on or be blocked for day or more. Now many I use to chat to have left the site, cause of this BS. If they want to have to have a site that is worth paying for the sure need to make it better. Lots of "new and improved features" most are just gimmicks.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
After numerous attempts to remove my profle from their site, I started looking for answers from Google. I found this from one previous member and thought I would give it a shot. I was told to post this message in my profile and it would be deleted...
"Non-paying members of the site are reporting that the site no longer offers the “delete my profile” option on the profile change page. Which means if you want to delete your profile, you have to pay for a month of a service you’re trying not to use. It also means the site owner has your information and you cant delete it."
there's quite a few problems with the site and the webmaster
Similar issues as other reviewers. The site is coded from the 1990's, and the total number of members is actually quite inflated, the actual active member count is quite low.
The site just went thru another week of 'only VIP members (paid) can log in', and oddly enough my paid subscription had just run out days before... I think it's set up so it locks you out so you'll pay up again... sorry dude don't think so.
Do a google search on "bear411 sucks" or "bear411 problems" and you'll see there's quite a few problems with the site and the webmaster.
This site has and always to me became a scam site and I also can not delete my account as the site has caused me a lot of pain and in 2012 I travelled to usa for a long time and got hacked I got abused by some piece of evil on there because I would not have s*x.
He hacked into every message i had I was a paid memeber at the time and wrote to Greg and got no response. Later when I tried to make contact with another diabetic on the site to get some needle tops off him for my diabetes pen, again as I got hacked by some desprate queen of the tramps . I then had to do it the hard way which was to go to a doctor get checked up got a prescription but the needle tops for insulin pen and total cost was 280.00
dollors. And before any of you asked I got pick pocketed by some junkie in a subway.
Basically the site owner has not got the f***ing balls like any man to respond with respect as a matter of fact i wrote quite a few times in palm springs to him but he could not care less as AGAIN i got no respone from this guy or woman as the site owner could be anybody .
My advice to anyone ?
Don't waste your time as there are pleeeeeenty of site to meet nice men and you don't have to pay to keep his mortgage and holidays and other assets he has to survive.
As for the site access ? Don't waste your time
Go to Growlr daddyhunt, scruff, i could go on and on and my last thought on this question.
Ask yourself HAVE YOU GUYS EVER MET ANYONE APART FROM A QUICK SHAG ON BEAR411 OR DOES YOUR LIFE ALSO MAKE YOU BELIEVE ON THIS SITE AS TO WHO YOU CHAT WITH THAT YOU GOT TO MEET HIM AND WAS ALL THE WEEKS OR MONTHS YOU WERE CHATTING TO HIM WORTH IT APART FROM A SHAG ?
Ask yourself that.
Go to Growlr, Scruff, Grinder, daddyhunt and you will find the guy you are chatting with on bear411 and one last thing dont be fooled by the website design by your hormones or yourself.
Regards to everyone that has gone through the same thing.
It you read this Greg delete me stockycub and good riddance.
I have ad an account (paid) for many years with Bear411. Now, I cannot log into my account on my laptop, but I can on my iPhone. What gives?
I never had any problem with B411 until now, I keep getting emails saying that I have 3 messages and if I don't read them in 10 days they will be deleted., and when I tried to log on and it keeps asking me to sign up for their VIP, I don't think so...
Someone really needs to get the ball rolling on the delete membership issue - I as well decided i would pay for a month or two - both times, the minute my subscription ran out, i was basically cut off - so much for the advertisement - FREE - I now know that i am blocked every friday - and this past monday as well. also - you can only log in so many times in a day - i don't have the opportunity to stay logged in all the time so even as of just this morning i logged in a few times, now i only get to view the first page of men - what a f...in joke
stay away from these guys
I attempted to re-join this site. I had a membership under a prior username and deleted it some years ago. I then received an e-mail enjoining me to go to GayDaddy.com (which is Bear411's way of saying you've been rejected for Bear411.) If you Google "Bear411 issues" there are quite a number of blogs and forums regarding the issues people have had with the owner of this site, with apparently arbitrary discriminatory policies regarding who gets to join or not join, and people having their profiles deleted without warning.
The owner according to the complaints is notorious for censoring e-mails, messages and chat sessions if there are any URL's posted regarding any other websites, particularly Bear-related sites.
It was found out that the owner actually reads private messages and is a real jerk overall.
gays are notorious for treating other gays like garbage. these complaints are not surprising. gay bloggers are the worst to their own people.

I have been on bear411 since it's beginning and always a paid member. Yesterday I was on the site and it suddenly disappeared. I tried to resign in and keep getting a error message. Woke up today and tried again same issue. I have had a few friends who say once you reach a certain age (I'm 62) he picks and chooses who he wants to keep. I have no proof of this but it seems suspect to me. I tried to uninstall the icon and reload it and all of a sudden google can't find the app. I will be calling my bank to stop my monthly payment
I don't think age has anything to do with it maybe your account has some other issues. I do see people over 60 there.
I think there are better places to spend money on anyway. Other gay bear apps out there.
i keep getting kicked out, resign up and deleted again, , guess when you get to a certain age you are no longer a bear, , poof, , just another old guy, , more ageism [censored] in our so called inclusive bear community.
Hey fellas I was a paying member too but this site wants to much money I’ll do $5.00 dollars a month but no more...now that I’m not a paying member anymore he starting to bump me off for a couple days at a time but this time I’ve been bumped off for a week and 2 days...this is while other non paying members are still login on...I tried to send a email to websitemaster at bear411.com but no answer back...I’m glad I didn’t pay for another membership now that I know that other guys are getting bumped off too...paying or not paying...
I was suddenly unable to access the 411 cam despite a subscription which had been open to me previously. No easy contact for customer support... long story short.
. I went to their page for signing up as a new member and in the personal description section told them the situation and THAT got their attention. I had access to cam within the hour
you must upload a photo with the text "delete this profile"
because photo approval is the only way i know of to make it delete you.
his VIP restriction isnt even true either. it's random. i have multiple accounts here, none of which are VIP memberships. some of them can log in, some cant and it varies from day to day.
If you don't know how cookies work, maybe learn about those and be mortified by how this site actually works.
I think the owner of this site works out of his mothers basement somewhere...I have tried to quit. I deleted my profile and I can no longer log in (I tried only once) and I am afraid to log in in case they assume I'm a paying member again.
It has been three months and they continue to charge my credit card. There is NO ONE to actually talk to there to rectify the problem.
If it doesn't say 'you can quit at any time and not be charged' I will never join any group. I never did meet anyone on bear411 anyway...I still get emails with pictures of some I'd like to meet but not going through that again.
I joined Silverdaddies and stopped...no problem. (I might join them again)
Hopefully my credit card company can put a stop to the charges.
Beware of Bear411
Bear411 is a has been site! It was OK when there were no other sites but now you have a lot of better choices that suit your life better... bye bye to bear411
i'm trying to delete my account, and the site will not allow it
I joined the site for free. After a few visits to the site, I was blocked access unless I paid. I decided to subscribe for a month, after that month, the same thing started happening, some days it would allow me in, other days it would require me to pay in order to access my account. Now I'm trying to delete my account, and the site will not allow it.
I didn't subscribe to Bearworld after it became a pay only site. I then started getting emails form members of the site saying hi. But I had to join to be able to read the mnessages. In the end I did, only to find these members did not send me any messages. In other words they were fake to get me to pay..
I have had the same profile name probably at least 15-20 years (bearhunter1965) now it’s gone and no reason given or anything.
I have or Had an account with the Bear411.com, I tried to log in after an absence, was overseas Ret Vet Now, and when I stared to log in My Info and everything is GONE. I am trying to recover my Login and Friends and Info I had stored on this site. I can not find any info for the Administrator Greg. Any help Is appreciated Rspnd wlfraven@ptd.net.

Thanks you

Without prejudices
This has been
An ongoing problem.
1. Can't never delete my profile
2. Not worth spending a dime
On a membership.
3. Just a waste of time
Very unsatisfied client
I posted a funny pic but it was deleted by Bear 411. I reposted the pic but Bear 411 deleted it again then blocked the pic. They have no problem letting people post pics of dicks people sucking dicks people getting [censored]ed and people showing their [censored] but block a funny pic. I will not renew my subscription to this site.
I am receiving messages and when I go to respond I receive a blank page. If Bear411 cannot provide the service I paid for, I want a full refund.
Stay away from this site!
I don’t understand why my user names get deleted and I can’t get access to bear411. I never did anything to suggest I get revoked from bear411. So please let me know . My user isn Pinarelllo. Regards
2 times i create an account, any response. I change the émail address...same things
