This company is a 100% scammer! STAY AWAY!
They feed on people's sincere desire to find someone with a lot of lies and deceit. They set up a total FAKE front personalized interview to “sweet talk” and made you believe you will get “ personal matchmaker service” to tailor for your search, all their said services were never true since the first month.
Elaine, my matchmaker, sent me matches. One is way overweight and loves to play puzzles and stay indoor. When I spent 2-3 hours explaining to her I am looking for someone who is fit and active, seriously? Also sent me a guy who’s status is “separated”, and when I was questioning about this guy, all they can say is there is nothing to worry about! Seriously? There was one guy who seemed to fit my request, and after a long month, still has no reply from this guy. Did Elanie just send me someone has fake account?
What was even more ridiculous… They organized a dinner event with a performance meant to let Chicagosingle members socialize and mingle. When I got there, I saw lots of young families with their children or very elderly participants. We were the odd ones among this family/ nursing home event! The whole night we were made to sit and have dinner and “watch” the show and participate in some fun kids games in between…seriously? All members attending this event were mostly in their 60-70+, I am in my early 50s, Paid almost $7000 membership for this? By the way there was also another event, I met those of the same age group members.
At the end of the night, what really tipped me off was, apart from being so disappointed with the event, Amanda from the office was there “ supposedly” to help gel the group, she introduced an way older guy to sit and chat to me, I felt so trapped and upset with the whole event. Next day I called the office to express my total frustration, all you hear is “ excuses”. At that point, I felt no hope at all with them to provide me anything even though I had really tried myself to cooperate with the company to make it work. When I asked for a refund, shouldn’t they have tried their best to make you stay? No! Not with this scammer company, Amanda from the office replied to me” good luck”!
I of course tried to dispute the charge from my credit card company, however this scammer made you sign their” grand master contract" which had protected themself 100% not to refund, this contract allows them to just TAKE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOTHING!
Claimed loss: $6995
Desired outcome: A full refund
