I received a call from an assitant to Lisa Clampitt, the owner of VIP Life, to find out if I was interested in having some introductions from the company's data base of single women in Florida. I had worked with Lisa Clampitt previously and was willing to give it a shot. My prior dealing with Lisa Clampitt and VIP Life was just neutral.
I was presented with a picture of a woman from Florida whom I decided to meet. Club VIP Life said the fee was $1500 for this one introduction. I met the woman, and really did not care for her. This should have been the end of it.
Several months later I was on the Club VIP web page, and noticed the picture of the woman I had met next to a very detailed information sheet about her. I had never been shown this profile sheet before.
Lisa Clampitt knows that I am six feet four inches tall; the profile of the woman said that the man must not be any taller than six feet.
I decided to file a small claims court action in Manhattan which is where Club VIP Life is located. Lisa called after receiving the complaint asking what this is about. I told her to read the profile of the woman she had introduced me to. She did, called back and said she did not understand the problem. I pointed out the woman's height requirements only to have Lisa say that it was a typing error. Lisa also told me that her assistant was no longer working for her.
Lisa called the next day to state that she would settle the case for $1000.00 of the original $1500.00 that I had paid. I decided to cut my losses, and take the settlement.
I find it disgraceful that a person like Lisa Clampitt who is always pushing for ethics and honesty in the matchmaking industry would be this unethical, and try to blame this obvious con job on a typing mistake.
This is a clear cut case of an inefficient matchmaker trying to make a quick dollar at a clients expense. How ridiculous not to send a written profile of the person you are introducing to your paying client. How wrong not to do a bit more screening before making the introduction, and what type of a person tries try to cover mistake by lying about it? The answer is Lisa Clampitt and Club VIP Life.
Considering the enormous amounts of money that Lisa charges, around $10,000.00, I would advise steering clear of this unethical person.
