eHarmony
Reviews and Complaints

I am not looking for some one to complete me, and I doubt that every single person on a dating online sit does. People have different reasons for using online dating. People who malinger at bars and grils in my geographic area, are not exactly brimming with money either. I work outside the home, and I do socialize in that way. Any dating site is going to be a toss up. Its a calculated game of chance. I know that chance is not possible when the matches on eHarmony are NOT even members and have not bee for years. Those idiots need to quit it. I am so thankful that I never became a paying member. To think that some one will be reading my profile and checking out my picture...without my permission.

That is a violatio!
I'ts wrong.

A FRAUD like eHarmony needs to be called on the carpet for its fraudulant practices. PERIOD!

I had the same problem/situation with eHarmony & I didn't sign up again.

They refused to refund me my money or even allow me to see this so called new person of interest & it was nothing but a waste of my precious time filling out tons of forms which under normal circumstances I would have thought made the place better, but it doesn't.

I realized about a year ago I was never going to meet anyone compatible to me on a dating site.

I've been dating online since 1998 & while I met tons of people at first, the minute I stopped casually dating, & started looking seriously for long term relationships, my choices dried up.

Over the years I've grown as a person, & I find most people on dating sites are very insecure, have little money (not that I'm rich yet, but I plan to be) &/or are desperate for someone to complete them as a human being. I don't need anyone to complete me, I'm fine just the way I am. I look for companionship.

I don't work outside my home, so I don't have any social contact with people (I work online), & I've been so busy with my businesses for so many years (since '89), time just flew & I had no real friends to speak of because I only got to Toronto in 1984.

I still belong to all of those dating sites I joined up with years ago, but I never get any positive like minded people out there & being that I'm not your average person, it makes it that much harder for me to find people, so I've just given up.

I wouldn't invest any money into any dating site if I were you, but clearly the choice is yours.

In fact I used to call myself an expert on dating sites because I knew them all, but it seems dating sites have fallen by the wayside, because I'm lucky if I get any responses to my profiles in a year's time.

Besides the fact that 95% of anyone who responds doesn't read the profile, just gawks at my pic, & is only looking for a quick fix. They don't seriously try & get to know the person via the profile prior to contact (read to see if compatible), they feel I'm a control freak if I demand my profile be read prior to contact.

I respect everyone by reading their profile (assuming I contact people first), that's how dating sites should be, but it's never been that way & the dating sites don't care.

In fact whenever I contact people, they never respond back, so I stopped doing that & just waited for people to contact me, but I want quality, not quantity.

Just thought I'd give my point of view : )

Good luck everyone!

I agree with all of the complaints. I think that everyone that has been suckered into this scam, should come together and demand monies back. I also think that we should come together and build our own singles web-site to help those who are really looking for something special. Nothing wrong with complaining, but lets start action such as building something that would put e harmony out of business.

EHarmony is not an ethical company. I read a lot of bad reviews after I joined but, of course hind sight I wish I would have seen them prior. You're not able to get a live person at the Manager or Corporate level because they have so many people that are dissatisfied. Their own marketing department sends you promotional codes for you to re join at a lower rate and they don't honor them ! When you call Customer Service ...they tell you "sorry about that" but, then proceed to sell you a subscription for $59.95 and give you 1 month free ? The worst company I've ever had to deal with that is out right dishonest !

Some one needs to go there to the company and BREAK ALL OF HIS FINGERS! I hate that kind of company! Tell everyone to break the guys fingers that runs the place!

Recently received an email from eharmony allowing free communication through labor day weekend...I have not been a member for at least a year now and was curious to see what the catch was. Not surprised at all that they had been using my profile the whole time as an active member and had over 100 matches with several "closed messages" because I hadn't responded...DUH! I need to apologize to all those men for not responding I'm just saying be aware that you may be trying to contact a ghost. Also with the free deal you can't see pictures which in my opinion is kind of important for me to decide if I'm initially attracted or not, but for a small fee of course you are allowed. I personally don't have the time to communicate with 45 or so men only to find out in meeting that I'm not at all attracted to them.

I too am upset with eharmony,

I Canceled my membership more than 7 months ago and on a consistant basis still getting John Doe "want's to communicate with you" emails, for a price of course.

The thing that really bothers me most is that these men are from my area and are not told that the person they're trying to reach is no longer an active member.

My concern is that if I happen to meet one or two of these men in the future @ another singles event or in business! that I will automatically be labeled a person that blows people off by not answering them. I am very saddened this would be a conception that is very untrue...What to do?

I feel bad every time I receive a "message" or "want's to meet you"" and can't respond one way or the other...Don't feel I should have to pay to hold a good name for myself.

Thanks,
overeharmony

I was about to try eHarmony when their price temporarily came down to within reason, but after reviewing more of the negative comments, I decided to stay away. I know of a much better site that's getting off the ground which I heard blows eHarmony away, and it's being offered for free temporarily, so that people can "try and compare" the two... I'm eager to give it a try and see what happens...

I agree with the complaints, as I too believe that Eharmony is a scam. Before becoming a paid member, I would receive up to 6-8 matches at least 3x per week., however, after becoming a paid member, I was lucky if I received 1 per week. Not only that, but out of the 200 or so "ideal" matches only one contacted me! and then I learned later that Eharmony terminated his membership because he violated their terms and conditions!

I contacted Eharmony because I suspect that they entice you to join by having you believe that you have all these ideal mates you are being matched with then once you join...nothing! I also beleive that they match members with non paying members in order to entice them to join! I mentioned to Eharmony that I would be very upset to learn that I am an unpaid promoter of their site! They responded with the ususal be patient jorgan...but they are a hoax and the word should be spread!

I requested that my membership be cancelled and a refund for the balance remaining...I am waiting to read their response!

e-harmony is a total scam. They keep on and on until they get your money and you are never able to connect with anyone of your (so called) matches.
I cancelled my VISA so they cannot automatically renew. They prey on older or very lonely people.
I am going to report them to AARP so it can be put in their mail outs.

I called the eHarmony customer service (which I got, not from their website, but from a complaint board such as this one. If it's on their site, it's very carefully hidden) to complain that I was not receiving many matches, and the ones I was receiving were not interested in communicating with me. I wanted to get my money back for the next two months of service, and just pay for the month I had received. I was told that I had signed a contract, and that they cannot refund my money because of that contract. She suggested that I re take the profile test. They widened my search radius and age limit and started sending me matches out of state and way too old for me. They are not remotely worth the amount of money they charge and the service is just plain worthless. I would not recommend them to anyone, unless you like wasting money. The free sites are a much better value (Plenty of Fish and Just Say Hi ).

It is refusing to upload photos because it says they have to be .jpg. THEY ARE .JPG. Have spent 30 minutes and can't find a way in this MAZE to get help. Am I really spending $300 for a service that doesn't make help readily available?

BEWARE! eHarmony doesn't not operate using an iPad. But they don't tell you that in the agreement when you sign up. I received error messages to try again later until the 3 day cancellation had past, had difficulty finding email or phone number for customer services. On the 4th day I finally got any address they told me my 3 days had past and would not refund my money. They have violated the agreement by not making the service available, so I've filed a complaint with the Texas Attorney General.

I'll never do business with them again!

E harmony is an economical rapist! It says 3 month trial but comes every month after to eat the funds, makes it impossible to return to account to re_unsubcribe for what was a time agreed TRIAL in the first place! I don't care if it's .99 cents; when the service is unwanted stop grabbing money that isn't yours. Online dating is pathetic. Every site is the same, free or paid, but, free is always better, at least the free ones don't economically rape consumers. And the expectations of being billionaires is slightly less on free sites.

I cannot find an option for stopping eHarmony from bombarding me with emails. I want to stop any contact with them. I tried their service for two years without result--the site did nothing to meet my expectations. Big disappointment.

Okay, I have had enough of this eHarmony crap! They just tried to match me with my ex-husband!

HERE IS THE CORPORATE PHONE NUMBER FOR E-HARMONY TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK
[protected] the number on the site, that 800 number, they will NEVER call you back. This takes you directly to their corporate offices at 800 E Walnut in Pasadena, California

I signed up with eHarmony because my family and friends wanted me to meet someone that I could go to dinner with, go fishing with, even go to the movie with. However, when they profile you fill out is complete they must discard it as you tell them what age bracket you are interested in and the height of the person, the nationality of the person, etc., and all you get is short, little fat, bald headed people that are rarely out of their 40s. Either that or they are in their 80s. I am sorry. I nursed my husband for many years and I DO NOT WANT A MAN THAT I HAVE TO NURSE. not to say that I would not take care of a person should the need arise but I am definitely not looking for one in the onset. If you do not do as they say and communicate with the people they send they will send you no more matchs and tell you there are none avaiable. Well I am not available. Hear me now and hear me well. I want my money back and I want it back now. If I want to find someone, I will do it on my own. I have never yet had trouble finding a man if and when I wanted one and I do not foresee any trouble now. I feel like eHarmony is a false advertisement. I think maybe we should all get together and do a class action or something to stop them. I have a terrific attorney.

Well, I can take it one step further. Those "couples" that ar so lovingly portrayed on E-harmony's television ads: THEY'RE ALL PAID ACTORS!

I am in the tv and film business in Los Angeles, and when I read this on a casting notice, my teeth about fell out (or would have if they'd been loose enough).

You meet someone when you meet someone - whether online or in person. I'd rather wait, thank you. I have had absolutely awful experiences with online dating, and for now, will just be content with a good book and my wonderful cats.

And you CAN get back your mooney - just threaten them with your state's attorney general's office, and you'll see E-harmony do a real backstep on the no refund statements.

Take care everyone!

Diana

Any ideas what's the best dating Web site to use?

I have followed the steps to delete my account, however within the profile status, visibility section, there is no option to enable the deletion. How do I delete my account? For weeks I have attempted this and there has been no change. I am very disgruntled

How can the charge outrages amount to rejoin without even been asked to rejoin. They were clearly told when I 1st joined that they can delete the account after one year. They said yes. But would confirmation the bill the credit card almost twice as 1st joined up.

Her name is Marisely Adan. She is 42 years old.

EHARMONY does not provide enough quality matching men in the local area. Complete rip off. So very diss appointed after all the good things that I heard about this site and they billed me 2 in 1 month which the 2nd payment should have been in 3 months! I will never recommend this site to anyone!

Hello, my name is Manuel Pazos. My account was canceled in May this year so, a refund is due me for June and July 2023. I am not satisfied with the service Eharmony provides. Thanks
