Complaint Review: Romance Pros - Tucson Arizona

Thanks to Ron Burley, I received a full refund.

I have lost even more money attempting to take the owners and the salesperson to small claims court. They have thus far successfully evaded being served the summons' I sent to all three. Recently, a nationally published author and consumer advocate magazine column writer agreed to look into my situation, after I sent him a request, as he said that he has received multiple complaints about Romance Pros. If he isn't successful (hope springs eternal) then I will consider other options. I am not giving up on it--that's a lot of money for a teacher! Plus, it's the principle of the thing. If it was simply due to the fact that I had made an error in judgment, then I would just deal with the consequences, but I asked questions that if they had been answered honestly, I would never have signed. There is NO WAY they had 1000 clients after only being opened for 6 months--that HAD to have been a bold faced lie! Heck, I'd bet double or nothing that even now, they don't even have half that many members! If she had told me the truth--that they don't look at things like religious preferences (maybe they would do a better job of matching if they had a decent database from which to select potential matches), had been opened just 6 months, and the actual number of members they had at the time, I never would have joined. Fraudulent Inducement--misrepresenting the facts to induce someone to sign a contract and make a purchase. What she did IS illegal!!

You are wanting to start a family, maybe like on Ali McGraw you see the dancing baby and feel the old biological clock ticking... Instead of waiting to see what is in store for you, you have to go to the matchmakers. And you wonder what is wrong with me that I am not married by now or where have al the good guys gone? Apparently this lady at the machmaking place played you like a violin, took your money and you got a creep! it happens. The sad thing is you had to spend money to get this creep... Why don't you just sue them get some money and put the greedy, dumb peopel out of business! Apparently the attorney feels you have a case. You might get enough money to put in a SVINGS ACCOUNT so someday, you can go on a vacation or somewhere where you WILL meet the one for you.

The attorney I spoke with labeled the offense that the salesperson committed as "fraudulent inducement". That means that the person misrepresented facts (lied) in order to get the customer to sign a contract. Telling me that religion was an important criteria in the matching process and then matching me with someone who was of the very religion which was the only one I said I had a problem with, telling me they had been open for 18 months when they had been open for 6 months, and telling me that they put a lot of time and thought into the matching process, when after conversing with my date, it became obvious that she spent NO time looking at our profiles side by side, are a few of the many indications I found that the sales methods employed were unethical and illegal. Pressure is one thing, and lying is another!! There's nothing to be confused about--she lied and cheated me out of my hard earned money. I didn't expect the date to be perfect--I just expected it to not be one of the most ill-matched dates I'd ever been on--after I plopped down $1500!! She lied to me, just like the person who wrote the rebuttal lied when they claimed to be an EX-employee! Unless of course, it is the salesperson who cheated me out of all that money who wrote it.

as to why you thought your very first date would work out perfectly? The people at Romance Pro's aren't GOD. As an ex-employee I talked to many people who were happy with their services, but it takes a little time and patience. And if you aren't willing to wait for something good to come along then maybe it never will. And seriously, the person who signed you up is in SALES of course they wanted to get you signed up.. it's their JOB. You're mad at the sales person for doing their job? That seems a little unreasonable to me. I'm sorry it didn't work for you, but it might have, had you given it just a little more time.
