Elite Personal Search Complaint - Blood Sucking Vampires With No Integrity - Dating Service

Dating Service - Complaint
Review by HotMamaEE on 2009-01-06
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- I am a successful, educated, beautiful woman who has difficulty meeting great men because I am a single mother who spends my time mothering. I thought that Elite would be able to help me meet men of equal caliber who met my preferences and religious requirements. My matchmaker Summer was able to set me up on a date with a very nice gentleman for my first date who I got along very well with, but later found did not meet my explicit requirements that were outlined in my matchmaking profile. Elite continued to send proposed matches of men who did not remotely meet my requests, so I questioned them again as to whether they had the men that I was looking for. Their blatant disregard of my parameters caused me to question whether there was any intention whatsoever to match me up with someone who met my criteria. I asked for a refund and they refused, and when I talked to their Director she assured me that they had many men who met my criteria. I have not received any contact from them in 5 months, and believe that Elite is just a scam to collect large service fees from individuals with the intent of haphazardly throwing "matches" at them hoping something will stick.

I am a single mother who made an investment to help facilitate a dating life that would offer safety through background checks, and efficiency through effective matchmaking. What I received was a monthly payment that I have continued to pay, and the absence of any service whatsoever. I have seen several other clients mentioning working with attorneys but believe that the most effective way to battle a corporate entity with no integrity is via a combined effort class action. [solicitation snip] I just believe that if they are unwilling to offer their services, the LEAST they could do is refund money for services unrendered.

Dating services...I didn't think, with all of the Internet venues, that they would still exist. You are right. They do exist soley to make money, and the more the better. I had a friend whose dating service told him he was a "loser" if he didn't cough up another $3000 for his dream woman, this after spending $3000 for nothing. Oh, and Great Expectations sent my dad their information five days after they read my mother's obituary in the paper. Classy, huh. I know of people who have found love through Match.com, Yahoo Personnels, and the like, but not one who did through these so called dating services.

Interesting, I also had Summer as my matchmaker. I did not get married from her matches but neither can I complain in the slightest way.

They do a good job, I got set up many times during my 2 year contract. They are an excellent service.

'HotMamaEE' sounds very haughty in her self image, no wonder it did not work for her. I also signed up with them and saw great results. See my full story that I posted in a separate review.
