PTSD Flashback

Appauled this "service" is still in business. Told me they have been around since 1974, that's because of all the dba's they never tell you about. The one in CT started in 2009 via Secretary of State in Hartford.

On my phone intake/interview in august I mentioned my horror story about Together Dating Service in the 1990's where I was barrackaded in the room by the rep. when she "turned over" the fee for service after two hours of sugar and spice and I said "I really need to consider this amount of money". This woman immediately began berating me for needing to think about spending over $2K for this service, stating "what, don't you think you're worth it" and "you said you exhausted all your resources so how are your going to find someone". She was actually holding onto the doorknob and sprawled across the door!! I was petrified. She left the room, came back a bit calmer and let me leave.

When I went to eLove in CT in August, 2011 once again I mentioned "Together" and my horror story - not a flinch, or a comment or the truth "that was our business too".

From August 3 to August 18 when I cancelled via email (without any response from my contact connection or interviewer) I had one match -- I never received any info about who he was, just an email that "he was out of town for the weekend and would call me during the next week". Never happened. Emailed my contact to report no call. She asked why I didn't call him - I told her she never sent me any info on him. She was confused "you didn't?". Then her response was "sometimes the server has difficulty connecting with certain email accounts". Huh? She said she would send me his info "today". Never happened. Contacted her next day to cancel. I relented and agreed to "get his info this today" - and she tells me that when she called him he said "why didn't she call me?" Doesn't sound like a keeper to me.

I called him. It was his name on the voice mail - waited one week to hear from him. Nada. I started looking at "reviews" of eLove - well, you know the rest. Emailed and cancelled on 8/18/11.

I am in the process of a small claims suit and will let you know how I make out. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THIS dba - do the research up front.

Pros
Oh the charisma - I even kissed my rep on the cheek and thanked him. What a fool!

Cons
Phone reps were like manic munchkins -
Called 3 times to make sure I was coming in
Went to the address and couldn't find the place
The security guard in the lobby had to take me to the door above which was a piece of paper above a doorbell stating ring bell and someone will let you in (was this the Wizard of Oz?) -- they worked out of another company's office space!
The rep was juggling two other "suckers" besides me because my interviewer called out.
They never came clean about their dba Together Dating Service
Lied about being in business since 1974 vs 2009
