Reunion.com Complaint - Reunion.com Is A Rip-Off! - People Search And Connections

People Search And Connections - Complaint
Review by dora8 on 2009-01-30
Reunion.com uses fake emails to entice a person to register with them. Then you have to subscribe ($60) in order to fully use the service (which is non-refundable). The people they show as belonging to Reunion.com are not always registered with them (which is what happened in my case) so I wasted $60 trying to connect with an old friend.

Definitely wouldn't have joined if I had known in advance of their underhanded tactics.

I just checked their terms of service. This one section alone should keep anyone who reads before they buy from making this mistake.

"YOU, AND NOT Reunion.com, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY, WHICH WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.

Reunion.com RESERVES THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, TO CHANGE ITS FEES AND BILLING METHODS, INCLUDING THE ADDITION OF SUPPLEMENTAL FEES OR SEPARATE CHARGES FOR CONTENT, OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY Reunion.com."

Agreeing to this pretty much tells them "Here's my money...have at it!"

Good to know about those fine print notices. The site always seemed like a ripoff, so I'm glad I never joined.

I agree with OP. I used both Classmates.com and Reunion.com while helping with an upcoming high school reunion. Reunion was always sending emails that someone was looking for me, but when I went to my account, it was an ad. By the way, I found my junior high-high school crush on Classmates. Emailed him through Classmates, and we married 9 months later!
