Elite Personal Search Matchmaker Scam - Did not produce a single candidate Denver Colorado
Elite Personnel Search is an online scam. Elite is suppose to be a professional matchmaker. I have paid nearly $4000 for absolutely no results and no real attempt on their part. I did a 3 hour interview with Kim Brady. I paid $3000 up front plus $400 for professional pictures that they required of me and then three more months of $325.00. Elite Personnel Search has been a total waste of money. After 6 months and THOUSANDS of dollars, they have not come up with a single match.
In this 6 months, they only called twice with possible matches that were so off the mark that it was offensive. Then insult to injury, their accounting department called wanting more money and wondered why my CC rejected their charge. They have threatened me with creditors and trying to ruin my credit because I refuse to pay for them more money. Their resources of dates are apparently slim and none.
It would be one thing if they had shown me candidates to consider, but they couldn't even come up with more than two in 6 months - not even close to my requests. I later found the same two guys with the same bad photos on Match. They weren't even a 70% match. It looks like I'll have to sue to get my money back and to keep them from ruining my credit. Verenia won't even tell you her full name because she knows that she is scamming and doesn't want to be sued, personally.
Damage Resulting = Over $4000 loss, plus possible damage to my credit. They called only because they wanted more money and threatened to ruin my credit and turn me over to collections if I don't pay them more.

I agree with 'pudding'. You should not be so quick to tell people that it's a total scam. They have helped thousands of people in the past and continue to help people today. I have a serious condition in which my body is allergic to tens of very common things in this world. I also have an extreme limp in my leg which forces me to walk with a cane. Obviously most single women out there would prefer to marry someone with out these disabilities. I signed up with this company knowing this and accepting the fact that it probably won't work. However, it did work and they did find me a beautiful woman who saw right past these issues and found the good characters inside me. Eventually, I married this woman. Yes, I agree that there are some people out there who have not been helped like me but they're not perfect. They never told anyone that they were and to expect them to be is not their fault. Again, like 'pudding' said above, your story is nice and no one is doubting it, but it's not fair to make them out to be a complete fraud just because of one bad experience.

Seeing a complaint like this is a bit frustrating at times. We have no contact information of the person that is complaining, nor do we even know if it's a legitimate client of ours. Many online websites like Ripoff.com, allow anyone to post complaints about companies, without a verification process or procedure in place. This complaint could have been filed from someone that is not a client of Elite Personal Search, or even a competitor trying to make Elite look bad. We would gladly address this persons complaint and would like to try to figure out how it is possible for someone to continue paying for a 6 month period, with no matches or contact with our company and not complain until after a 6 month period? This is not likely legitimate and this complaint must be from someone that is trying to make Elite look bad. If this complaint is legitimate, then Elite would like the person to please contact Guillermo at (310) 551-6600 so we can resolve their concerns and investigate their account. We hope to hear from Tooredphoenix, that is in Denver so we can address their concerns.

Listen 'Tooredphoenix'.
I definitely feel bad for you because of how they treated you. But the fact is that you shouldn't be so quick to say that they're a total scam. I think that's a little harsh don't you?????
I always like to give the benefit of the doubt, so I really don't think that you're such a terrible person but i do think that you need to be more understanding.
I signed up a little over two years ago and in the beginning, I also wasn't happy. I complained a few times but still sat patiently. Eventually, I married one of the girls I was set up with. I agree that the price isn't so cheap but what do you expect? It's professional service. I'm not saying that your story is false or even far fetched. What I am saying is that you shouldn't tell people that they just want money and don't care about their customers. If you do more research, you'll find hundreds of beautiful stories and reviews of how they matched thousands of people together.
Just think about what I'm saying.
Good luck.
