Complaint Review: SEICLUB.COM

I considered the club after hearing about them from a trusted friend. Found mixed info. A lot of good. I spoke to a woman on the phone and it seemed like a good fit for what I was looking for (beautiful, smart, nice women). At my consultation I was shown a portfolio of potential women matches many of whom I met soon thereafter. Since then, I've met several women and have been exclusively dating one of them for a few months now. I had a normal experience with this organization. Got exactly what I requested. My experience was completely positive and I can recommend the organization. It is high end.

www.EliteMatchmaking.com

Before you spend between $15,000.00 and $300,000.00 on this service one should do there due diligence. Things just seemed a little off from the very beginning with Elite Matchmaking Miami.

The website had wrong information. My communications thru the web based system never was received by them. Almost all emails had some miscommunication. I called the local Miami number and got some cheap answering service. I asked to meet them at their office location on Brickell Ave but was discouraged from doing so.

They claim they have an office on prestigious Brickell Ave. 1395 Brickell Avenue
Suite 800 to be exact.
I went there. It's Allied office / Qwest work space. Google it. You get virtual office space from $119.00. What's even more disturbing is they are not even listed on the business directory in the building.
I went to the office building and have proof.
Ask to meet them at their office.

See what happens. They will want to meet you at a Starbucks or something.
I voiced my concerns before my meeting with them in a detailed email.
In the end they told me they didn't think we should meet. I don't blame them. I asked a lot of questions. I wanted to know that before I gave them $15,000.00 or more that attention to detail was going to be done. After all you are buying a service. You can't get a refund if you don't like what they end up doing.
Be Careful when doing this.
Also why are all the reviews so recent? This is a company that has been in business for over 20 years!!!
There were just to many red flags.

Ask to speak to satisfied clients from over the last 2 years or more. When you do , make sure it's both men and women.
Remember this is a very emotional area so be careful. Don't let your desire to find someone stop you from doing your homework on these companies before you give them any money. Remember you can't return it if you're not happy.

Oh and an update I just was offered to come see their corporate headquarters in Beverly Hills by an email to meet their staff.
Funny. I looked up the address given on their website for the corporate headquarters. Now you might find this hard to believe. It's another virtual office. 350 S Beverly Dr #220, Beverly Hills, CA 90212 Phone:(310) 551-6600

SEICLUB IS A RIPOFF, AND SO IS AMY LAURENT!!

She was the sexy matchmaker who promised perfection in a mate over drinks at the St. Regis.

He was the lovelorn lawyer who plunked down ten grand for a shot at the woman of his dreams.

There was one big problem: The dates didn't live up to John Friedland's exacting standards, and the love guru wouldn't return his money.

Now the Manhattan man is suing to get back his $20,000 fee and more from the high-end Amy Laurent International dating service.

The 51-year-old lawyer and author charges that Laurent - who bills herself as "the coveted wing girl that every single guy envisions" - stiffed him after he bought her pledge that he would be paired with beauties tailored for "powerful executives" and "eligible bachelors."

"Defendants failed to perform even as good as a standard dating service," the$100,000 suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court charges.

The high-priced matchmaker, which operates in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago and London, boasts of a near-perfect track record on creating love matches for well-heeled clients.

The company's Web site features photos of dozens of knockouts in sexy poses, skimpy swimsuits and cleavage-baring tops.

Friedland wasn't impressed by the women he met, claiming in court papers that Laurent didn't pair him with at least three appropriate dates each month.

The ladies sent his way were already in relationships with other men, weren't "suitable" to his goals or wouldn't consider "someone of plaintiff's background," he wrote without elaborating.

The suit says he requested a refund within 90 days of signing up, but the matchmaker never paid up.

Friedland, who declined to comment, signed on with Laurent last summer after meetings at her Madison Ave. office and at the bar of the five-star St. Regis hotel just off Fifth Ave.

He had also been lured by ads that saythe service is "akin to having a stylish, savvy female friend constantly on the prowl for you" in search of mates who have "that 'special something' that [matches] your personality and criteria."

"As a client of Amy Laurent, you can expect from her to never have you settle for anything less than perfection in a mate," the firm's Web site says.

Laurent said the allegations were news to her.

"He didn't tell me that he was unhappy," she told the Daily News.

The company - founded in 2005 by Laurent and former fashion model Alysia Ellin - has been featured in Maxim, Men's Health and Time Out New York magazines.

Laurent, 45, frequently appears on television to share her dating expertise, but she clammed up after learning she may soon have a date in court.

Having met with almost all elite matchmakers in the USA, I will share my thoughts on this industry. DO YOUR RESEARCH. GOOGLE THE COMPANY NAME. Check the BBB. Any TRUE ELITE MATCHMAKING COMPANY should be part of the BBB. Also, BEWARE of companies that set up their own URL for REVIEWS. ONLY TRUST REVIEWS ON REPUTABLE, INDEPENDENT wesites. Check Yelp, Complaints Board, etc.

I moved here from London, and as an established man, find it challenging to find the quality woman I am seeking. I realise it takes effort and I am short on time and want the assistance of a matchmaker. So I have learned to do proper, diligent research before investing a large sum to a high-end matchmaker. They all sell the same story in the USA.

GOOGLE THE COMPANY NAME!!!

The question is, are there any good elite matchmaking companies out there??

This company has tons of complaints and is still in business:

You also have: Elite Connections, Kelleher, Janis Spindel, and all of these are Mother/daughter organisations. So does this make it any safer?  I see Kelleher has numerous complaints:

Woman sues millionaire matchmakers who she paid $45k to 'set her up with convicted criminals, a man looking for friends with benefits, a sexually promiscuous Internet sex toy purveyor and an animal hater'

A 59-year-old woman is suing a millionaire match-making company who she claims set her up with countless unsuitable matches despite the fact she paid the mother-daughter duo $45,000 to find her someone who fit her profile.

Joan E. Cooke, from Florida, hired premier matchmaking firm Kelleher & Associates.

But this was far from what Ms Cooke - an executive at two healthcare firms - was matched with. In fact in some cases, they were almost the antithesis of what she requested in a suitable partner.

Florida woman: Joan Cooke is suing a pair of mother-daughter millionaire matchmakers after she paid their firm $45,000 for dating services and was set up with suitors who didn't match her tastes.

Stupid Cupid: Joan E. Cooke hired the firm Kelleher & Associates, a premier matchmaking service run by JILL KELLEHER AND HER STUPID DAUGHTER AMBER KELLEHER! VERY UNETHICAL!

According to the law suit, of the 13 men she was matched with;

One was a sexually promiscuous internet sex toy purveyor, despite her profile stating she was seeking family, fidelity and intellectual sophistication.

A Google search on another showed that he had criminal convictions for fraud 'as long as a very long arm' dating back to the 1970s

Stating that she was a Democrat and fairly liberal in all areas, she was twice matched with Republicans, with the excuse given by Kelleher that 'opposites attract'.

On two other occasions, the men she went on a date with informed her they were not looking for a monogamous relationship, despite the fact she specifically requested this in her profile. One man told her he wanted only 'friends with benefits'.

I was also on this dating site, MillionaireMatch.com, and was in contact with Nekko. He wrote to me so sincerely.

www.millionairematch.com

Owned and operated by Patty Stager

And there are numerous fraudulent profiles on this site. Beware. Even though Nekko's profile said it was VERIFIED, it was all a lie. Then when I wrote to the customer service at MillionaireMatch.com and asked them about their verification process and Nekko's profile, they claimed there was NO investigation done on Nekko Kopec and that he simply put his membership on hold. So Ardin Ramani provided false information. Ardin Ramani is Nekko Koped. Amazing how many women were mislead with his "VERIFIED" profile.

Internet dating is really a HIGH RISK. It is much safer to go with a professional matchmaking company if you are serious about meeting someone and 'skip' all the FRAUD and time wasted trying to simply get to know someone.

This website is known to be one of the worst when it comes to fraud. Be careful who you meed on this site and do not provide any private details such as your last name, etc.

Interesting how a former employee who signed legal documents about confidentiality and disbaraging remarks is in fact taking the time to open herself up to a law suit for starterss. Never ever have any of my interns met my clients, never will. Funny how you can't get a job, you are working for your mother and you begged me to hire you and all you wanted your last year of college was for me to hire you.

You were NOT an employee if this is whom I am assuming it is, as all of my employees are still working for me, and the only reason you are beyond angry is when you were put on a temporary project you were told you were going to be given a 1099 and have to pay your own taxes.

The day my CPA sent you the 1099 you had the audacity to call me , threaten me , scream like a maniac all for no reason other than the fact that you didn't want to pay taxes. Well sweety let me enlighten you -- everyone who makes money pays taxes. Welcome to life and business.

I am appaled that you were so childish that you would write something as tacky as this. I would suggest you take your anger out elsewhere and watch what you say or I will see you in court. I pride myself on my business and how i run it and if I was rude to the people that work for me why would they stay with me for years upon years upon years? :Because they LOVE their job, the perks and working for me. I wish you good luck in your career.

The person who wrote this review is a woman. She is a matchmaker living in Miami. Her employer (the mother/daughter team and owner of the matchmaking company she works for) resides in California.  She thinks that posting phony reviews defaming other companies will help her get ahead in life. She has written many, many such reviews and does so regularly. Here are some others that she has written:

She wrote this review here:

ripoffreport.com/r/MODEL-QUALITY-INTRODUCTIONS/nationwide/MODEL-QUALITY-INTRODUCTIONS-CRAIG-DONALDSON-COMPLETE-SCAM-ESCORT-SERVICE-ONLY-FAKE-PRO-1250730

Wrote these negative reviews:

complaintsboard.com/complaints/model-quality-introductions-beverly-hills-california-c458853.html

and many, many more.

Defamation is illegal. Many of the negative and angry reviews found online about honest matchmaking/dating companies were written by her. She (and the company she works for) is currently under investigation for their online activity against other companies (such as the post above). 

I believe everything I read in this post from the victim. I was also taken by this company.

SEICLUB.COM, SEI CLUB, is the SAME COMPANY AS SIGNATURE ELEGANCE INTERNATIONAL.  They is such a SCAM!  They even set up a website for REVIEWS that they CAN POST THEIR OWN REVIEWS!  They own this review website below.

ALL THE REVIEWS ARE FAKE!  POSTED BY THE COMPANY EMPLOYEE.

http://www.signatureeleganceinternationalreviews.com/SignatureEleganceInternational.html

This will catch up to them SOONER THAN LATER.

I filed this original report on YELP and SEIclub.com had it removed. They are running an unethical company. After taking my money, I could no longer reach my matchmaker in LA. The phone # no longer worked. Later, I see they changed their COMPANY NAME TO: SEICLUB.COM  They have their old website still up and running and REMOVED their numbers. WHAT A SCAM!

Please be advised SEIClub.com is a division of SEI Elite. Any claim to the contrary like the one above is probably the work of competitor or incompetent and nothing else.

It also looks like this website (rip off report) does not verify / technically cannot verify  the identity, origin or source of the claim.

Taking into consideration the elite and private nature of membership with SEIClub.com and the quality of its members, the post above was not written by a member or client of SEIClub.com
