Two Of Us reviews and complaints

My boyfriend passed away on 8/12/12. I was not in my right mind and contacted this dating service 2 weeks after he passed. I told the interviewer Monick this as I was crying. If she were a legit dating representative she would have told me that I am not ready to start dating, that I need to wait until I am no longer grieving. I was actually given a sales job by this person. She knew exactly how to work on my already fragile emotions. I signed a contract originally for the sum of $30, 000 yes $30, 000. When I got home I called her and told her it was too much. She had to speak to her boss and called me back and said they would send back my $10, 000 check and only charge me $20, 000. Mind you I was still not in my right mind. Needless to say that same day some one a supposed date texted me on my cell phone. This now I know was a ploy on Monick’s part to keep me interested. What an idiot I am. Of course the 3 day contract time for me to cancel passed. By then I was to late to cancel. To make a long story short. I have since gotten an attorney who has contacted the company. I have tried to cancel do to my on going depression and grief. I have medical documentation. The contract does have clause to cancel for a disability. I am mentally disabled. Their attorney did contact me and said he would not let this matter go on but as of now I still have not heard a word and it has been a month. I would like to file a law suit against this company but the attorney want to charge me $10, 000. I am sick over this. I would under normal circumstances never have done such a thing I am very careful with my money. The company is call The Two of US their address is 16633 Ventura BLvd. Suite 1250, Encino, Ca. 91436. I have filed several complaints with state and federal agencies but have not heard anything. This company is a scam and prays on vulnerable people like me. Greif can do strange thins to people this I know now. A very expensive lesson to learn.

On June 26, 2008 I foolishly joined a very non-friendly dating service. I paid $3, 783.00 and joined "The Right One" after being told a few too many fibs by a woman named Liz. After completing an in-depth questionnaire and a very friendly two hour interview they knew I only wanted referrals in the South Hills areas of Pittsburgh, PA because of my eyesight, and they knew I would not accept referrals older than me. Within a week they sent me a referral eleven (11) years my senior and residing Northeast of Pittsburgh. They ignore everything a client states in writing and during the interview! Within the next six months, after receiving nothing, I got E-mails out of my Spam file from something called “Two of Us” – No prior notification whatsoever that they merged with another service. I received six (6) referrals at the same time followed by two (2) more with two weeks. Showing their total disrespect, lack of concern to clients and inconsideration of each individual woman and me. No one can talk to, get to know and hopefully meet when barraged with so many referrals at the same time. And, no woman I met had a nice or even good word about "Two of Us". A vast number of these numerous referrals were not even in Allegheny County, let alone in the South Hills area of Pittsburgh. Many were also older than me. This same "careing" attitude, on the part of "Two of Us", continued throughout my contracted-for term.

I to fell subject to the sales tactics used by Lynn at the Grand Rapids, MI office. Embarrased to say I went to the office after numerous telephone calls to get me there. I had been in a traumatic accident, still on crutches and told Lynn I was on medication. I obviously was not ready emotionally or physically to date. I didn't even finish the paperwork before Lynn took me in an office and made me feel like I couldn't choose the right type of person. I realized after about one hour of returning home that I had made a huge error in judgement. I called right back and begged for a return of my membership fee. I was lead to believe that this might happen but asked to wait and call back the next day, that after thinking about it I would change my mind. I called back the next day and then Lynn accused me of really "reaching" for an excuse. Truth is that after 7 weeks I had not been out of the house. I was on tons of pain medications, muscle relaxers and anti-anxiety meds to deal with my injury and isolation. I was told "we never give refunds". I called the CA office and was told the same. I spoke with Ethan D Baker attorney for Two of Us who has been quoted as saying the company tries to assist with complaint. Mr Baker asked for my medical records and led me to believe I would get a return. Nothing happened. The office staff refused to speak with me, they even offered to start sending me introductions and I hadn't even completed the paperwork. My attorney sent a letter asking for my file and return of membership fee and they never even answered him. I did get an email from Mr Baker saying I was not getting a refund that the contract was clear. It certainly wasn't to me in my medicated state. I even had a physician statement. Baker is out of CA, I live in MI, so I have to pursue legal action in District
court, this could get costly. I will never use the service. It's hard for me to believe that our local and state governments don't apply buyer's remorse to all states. A 3 day window to change your mind would have helped me. I would love to learn how to start a bill and get a law passed for consumer protection. I am so ashamed. I wonder how the people that work there can do it. I also wonder how this Toros Yetenkian lives with himself. He is supposed to be a star college basketball player, must not have been that great, also read he is a civil leader for an armenian community, how would you like a leader like that. I think a class action lawsuit is appropriate, looking into how that works when more than one state is involved.
In a normal state of mind i would never have went to this appointment, I never spend that amount of money and have years worth of year end Visa statements to prove it. I'm building my case and hope to go to court. I wish you all luck.

HUMILIATING EXPERIENCE
"Two of Us" in Encino is a deceitful and fraudulent company. They charge you tens of thousands of dollars for nothing, use manipulative methods to make you sign the Agreement with them, never deliver services and never return the money. They take advantage of desperate lonely peiple, suck them in, then abuse and harass them.
They should be stopped and punished because what they do is criminal. Please join me and contact me at [protected]@hotmail.com

These Jokers are definitely scam artists please be careful. I was matched with 7 women over a six month period. 4 of the seven were attractive. I consider myself to be a very young looking 57 year old man and asked to be matched with women that were 45 years old or younger. Three of the women were over 45 and one was even 51, clearly violating the terms of my contract with them. I could have done better at a bar. When I complained, nothing was done to correct the situation; I continued to get old women.

Over and above all of this, it took them 6 weeks to get me my first match. When I was in their form of an interview (interrogation), I was told I would be dating by the following week. This was a horrible experience, I was also told that I was "very matchable", but I only received 7 matches over 6 months with nothing but old ugly women. Wish I could get my money back.

I had the most embarassing and humiliating experience in my life with "Two of Us".
I lost my husband two years ago. Emptiness and loneliness made me start looking for online dating services. "Two of Us" in Encino was the closest to where I live so I went there. Before I could understand what I was signing for a charming young woman Monick took my Driver License and three credit cards, told me about a very nice gentlemen David who had just signed up for $80, 000 and who was a perfect match for me and charged my credit cards $48, 000. The so called Membership Agreement provided 3 business days for cancellation so the next day I went there again and cancelled but Monick kindly talked me into signing a new one for just $10, 000 - they charge one thousand dollars for a match. A match is info sent by email about a gentleman who is supposed to call you.
I got two calls with promises to get back to me which never happened. $2000 was gone. I got lucky:
they refunded $37, 000 instead of $38, 000 so I contested the charges and wrote them a letter saying that our Agreement is legally invalid as they violated the purchase price clause.
Be aware: they overpromise and underdeliver, their prices are flagrantly and grossly unfair, the company is unethical and deceitful.

After being on one site one click let me to "Two of Us". Superb marketing gal makes promises they have NOT fulfilled. They charge everyone different prices depending on what they think they can get. This is personal match making where after filling out 3 pages of preferences, they never read it. I beg you not to be taken in by this firm which uses several corporated names. In detail, everything I asked for was NEVER received. I could do better in a market! It is an expensive lesson I am ashamed to admit I fell for. They LIED in every way to all my questions. Not once in over a year have they sent me a match that would be even close to my preference. The first person lived in Whittier which I told them was too far from me. THEN, the second person they sent me was ALSO in Whittier. My concern was if there data base had people that fit my preferences on a 3 page form. They lie about not having photos as they take a poloraid before you leave. The info they sent you about the person is at most 3 lines. Unfortunately I missed the 2-day cancellation period. It is an expensive lesson and PLEASE do NOT fall for they highly skilled marketing people. Anyone interested in filing suit... I'm on board.

Hi, my name is michelle saettler and i am a 19 year old sophomore at montclair state university. I am taking a news reporting course and have learned that reporters duties include "uncovering and exposing injustice". I am asking you to listen to the injustice that has been done to my family.

My father, william saettler was killed in a motorcycle accident on may 31st 2009. He was divorced from my mother and raised my brother (16)and i in out childhood home in west milford. Lonely, he entrusted the services of "Two of US" a service which matches you with potential soul mates. He paid 1, 500.00 to this service a month before his death. It was one year of service and there were NO refunds allowed. My father had no will, and no life insurance (and a 200, 000 mortgage left on our house). My single mother has rented out her condo and is currently living with us and paying the bills on a one salary income. Any bit of money helps us. So i contacted "Two of Us" to see if they would refund us for the 11 months of the service my father didn't get to use (roughly 1, 400.00). Joyce, the manager of the local branch, was nasty to me and said she would not give us any money back, that the contract is set in stone. Their attourney is ignoring me, and so is the receptionist when i call. I tell her my name and she says there is nothing the company can do. How can this be legal? the people there are so cruel to me on the phone and have no hearts. They won't let me speak to the corporate side of the company or the head of it himself.How can they keep extra money for a service that wasn't fully provided. This is no ordinary incident. I feel the contract should be breached in special circumstances like these

I went on line and completed a form and by end of day had a call from "Two of Us". The person that called me was an idiot. She was clearly out of her element when I started asking her questions. I thought the process sounded like a crap shoot and when I asked what the price range was I was advised they don't tell over the phone because they don't know if I would qualify to join. I advised that I give auto insurance quotations (I own my own Insurance Agency and I give out quotations without knowing if the customer qualifies). I stated that I did not like high pressure sales which is why they were demanding me to come to them to get a price range. I told her I was not interested. Then I looked up the reviews and boy am I happy I declined. Yikes. Also Table for Six is a massive scam. I told Table for Six that they had too many complains and I was not interested. She called me a name and hung up. Avoid at all cost.

If you value your money, then do not do business with this company. The only thing they care about is fattening their wallets and emptying yours. The membership prices are outrageous (in the thousands) and the service you get is not worth $5. Don't bother trying to complain about service, it will fall upon deaf ears. Internet dating is much more affordable and effective.

They use high-pressure sales tactics to reel you in. Watch what you say to them, they use it against you as well. Don't tell them about your past relationships, they will only make you feel like you can't do it without them.

Money is all they care about. Once you go through your so-called 'matches' you have to give them more money to receive anymore, and who knows if they will be any better (probably and most likely not).

Don't waste your money. They love taking it from you with no regards to your feelings.
