BE CAREFUL giving eHarmony as a gift! eHarmony will screw you later by continuing to charge YOU…the gift-giver! It happened to us...we called them to resolve it – explaining to them that it is illegal to charge OUR card on a continuing basis WITHOUT OUR approval. They have every right to contact the account holder – and attempt to make arrangements for a continuing subscription – but it is purely illegal to allow the gift recipient to authorize OUR card to continue to be charged.
And you know what they said? “We have to have the gift recipient's approval to not charge your card” WHAT??? It is not the gift recipient's card! This is criminal, scammy, and illegal. Thankfully our gift recipient called “for us” to “authorize” the discontinuation of charges on OUR card! Be careful – these people are scammy!
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON -- What a rip off. You waste a lot of time getting set up and then find out they want $60 a month. If their service was so good, they would not need a year-long rate! I got several hits that were not good matches. Also, the whole thing is a scam - if you find a person you like, and they are a member - they cannot reply.
The eHarmony folks are total pukes - these folks prey on lonely people and make it worse. If someone reaches out to you - you should be able to reply. How do you know if the person you mailed was not interest or jut not stupid enough to pay these folks $60 when anyone worth dating can meet someone by just heading to the local coffee shop. I hope others will start to get it that these sort of services do more harm than good!
CALIFORNIA -- I tried the eHarmony service and did not like the format and the time to contact someone directly. I ask for a refund within 7 days as agreed. I did get a pop up box stating I will get the refund. After 2 months of trying to reach them and getting returned no delivery mail, I found a phone number. They claimed they could not get a refund though PayPal. PayPal said they waited too long, the link was not working for refunds. They could just pay me directly.
I cannot get though to anyone but the call center. They only say they will contact the company. They do not return calls or send a check or use pay pal. FRAUD, FRAUD, FRAUD...
After 14 wonderful years, my wonderful husband died in my arms. Well two years after he died, someone suggested I try eHarmony. After filling the application, I was rejected. So I decided to call up their headquarters and find out why. Come to find out my personality was fine but they wanted only blondes. The last time I heard, discrimination is illegal. And because I have black hair and black eyes, I was told I was in the ugly category! I've seen their commercials and it's true, FOR BLONDES ONLY!!! So I have one response: BOYCOTT!!!
