Reviews of Great Expectations

Mike and I were members of Great Expectations. Mike first sent me a V-pop, that’s what attracted me to him, besides his obvious good looks. He seemed very intelligent and goal oriented. He seemed like someone I could connect with, so I answered “yes” when he selected me. Mike and I hit it off right away.

We talked for about five hours before he asked if I wanted to go for coffee. We went on several dates and soon enough I knew I had someone special, and I only wanted to date him. Mike is the most compassionate person I have ever met. He kept his word of not getting engaged until I finished my Masters Degree. The night of my graduation party, Mike proposed a toast to the graduate and got down on one knee in front of my family and friends and asked me to marry him! I said “yes” immediately!

One of the things I love most about Mike is that he believes in me even when I have a hard time believing in myself. He is all I expected and so much more. I know I have truly found my soul mate, and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with him. I hope our story helps and gives people hope that Great Expectations is a company that works! Mike and I are so happy and in love!

I was widowed in 1996. My daughter purchased a membership for me for Mother's Day in 1999 and I met my husband Scott five months later. I have been happily married for 9 years and it would have never happened without Great Expectations.

-100 stars if possible.. DO NOT GET CONNED.. It is a low-rate service that charges high dollar. I drove 65 miles to a function in another area & booked a hotel room. When I arrived at the "function" was told it had been cancelled due to lack of interest. Two other GE clients (women) were there and the same thing happened to them. NO ONE from GE called any of us to let us know it was cancelled.

I was out - not only time & gas - but the cost of a hotel room.

After making several calls to their office, was told that they didn't have a good phone number for me.... which is a crock... because neither of the other 2 women at the funciton had received a phone call either!!! A man from the GE office named Ray called me to apologize (days later)...he said he'd call back in a couple of days - BUT NEVER DID. There are no men in the program worth looking at - if they ever show up at a function. THIS IS A TOTAL FRAUD.

DO NOT DO THIS! IT IS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY AND they say I signed a contract that cannot be backed out on. They are losers. Unless you have money to throw away... stay far away from Great Expectations!

I also give a -10...if possible. I signed up and was never told i can only get my money back after 3 days, but they said it would be like 2-3 weeks for the service to start. So you pay for a service you may not even get....this is horrible! I thought about calling a few lawyers i'm friends with and think about suing for their own breach of contract and calling the BBB. But in the end I think i'll learn after being taken for 1500.00. If I can do anything is help others know to NOT DO THIS! HORRIBLE LIES AND BS! ITS VERY VERY VERY BAD.

Dont go...please everyone...DO NOT GO!

TO DEFRAUDED ON LI!! Before you loosely throw around someone's name, get your facts straight prior to doing so! I was temporarily in a position to do damage control for said company and slandering someone's name in lieu of trying to get vindication is more than wrong but morally incorrect! Not that I don't understand your frustration but to name a person that has an established reputation of repairing damage (why do you think they hired me?!) and trying to punish them based on your negative experience (which started before I was even there) shows a lack of intelligence and morale fiber! I have been a light for people looking to find what it was they were looking for but not being the owner of the company prevents me from being able to control the outcome of your experience. There are thousands of people that have had a positive experience where I was of assistance to them but again, not being the owner I can only do & control so much. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to negatively tarnish an honest truly dedicated persons life mission to be the Muse that I am & am so well known for. Your negative experience with a company that was less than deserving of my employment or your membership is not my fault & you naming me merits your lack of consideration for realistic expectations and proves that maybe it wasn't the company but your lack of healthy interaction with the opposite sex leading you to having to go through the process of a dating organization. Sorry if that sounds ugly, but no more ugly than you naming a person that has great valor and love for the people she helps & you trying to minimize that is classless and arrogant.

My rating for the new GE, formally known as Great Expectations..... is -10, of which we are unable to choose (how convenient). I do not choose to give them this negative score because I was conned, but I do so because of all the negative notations placed here on this website. We live in a society that is service driven and good customer service is essential if we want to survive in this economy. To think that a company that has caused so much harm and detriment to so many has been allowed to continue, exist and operate escapes me.

I received a phone call today from GE and I was considering using their servce after my divorce is final in a couple of months. I'd gone in years prior to their presentation, located in Rock Hill, SC and they tried to get me to sign up with them then, but I'd been laid off and was out of work at the time. I could have saved them and me some time if I had explained that over the phone; however, they were not forth coming with a lot of information over the phone and niether was I.

It struck me as odd today when they identified themselves to me as " GE Charlotte", I thought it was a totally different company from Great Expectations. It took me minute to realize that I was talking to the same company :-).

WHAT CROOKS !!!!!!! thank you all so very much for posting these reviews and I am so thankful that I was led to this website before signing any documents and paying out any monies. It is my sincere prayer that each and everyone of you are refunded the monies that were stolen from you by these people. HONESTLY ! How do they look at themselves in the mirror each morning knowing they are hurting innocent and trusting people.

After reading all of the negative responses, I am sure I will not attend this meeting. There was a response that stated that when they called they did not say where they were calling from or whom they were. Yes, you are certainly right! She just started speaking as if she's known me her whole life. I had to ask the questions of the location and who she is. I was skeptical because they wanted me to bring in my credit card and driver's license. Also there is a 90minute consultation O.M.G. Thanks, but No thanks I am not that desperate enough to get scam.

OK, so I never write reviews but I have read many of them ever since I got taken for $1,500 by Great Expectations. It is the same old story as everyone else that has posted. I tried to work it out with GE direct, without any success. I disputed the charges with my credit card company, but they said that they could not do anything since GE had a signed contract. I filed a complaint with the Florida Better Business Bureau as well as the Florida Attorney General. This was all back in May of 2007. I ended up writing it off to my own stupidity and a lesson learned. After 3 1/2 years, I get a certified letter from JRM Management, LLC in Dallas TX. So I went online to research it and it turns out to be the parent company of GE. Well all I could think of is that they were trying to collect something from me since I canceled my credit card when I filled the complaints. Reluctantly I went to the post office to pick it up and to my surprise, there was a check for the entire $1,500 I paid them with no letter or explanation. It was mailed from the parent company in TX, but the check was from GE in Orlando. I did read somewhere in some court cases that have gone against GE, refunds were ordered to be given to those who had filled complaints. So I would highly recommend it cause you just never know. GOOD LUCK!

Look. I'm not one that usually writes these reviews, but believe me when I tell you this is the worst company I have dealt with in my entire life. I have fallen for scams in the past, but never like this. This company is a vulture praying on the hopes of good people who want nothing more than to meet someone wonderful. They use hard sales tactics to get you in the door and then do absolutely nothing else to help you meet anyone. Wait, I was lying. They took my fn picture. Sorry, they do help. What a complete waste of money. I cannot beleive they have not been shut down. They make promises of meeting so many people at events or via their website which is extra, and I can honestly say I met no one. When I approached them about this they said maybe I should update my profile. Alot of good that does when no one looks at it. Then when you refuse to pay they sic their lawyers on you. What a bunch of crooks. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

I recently went to a wine festival and came across a booth for GE dating with some of my friends. Of course they gave us a huge bunch of BS about how there are 60-70 people at events, etc.... We filled out their cards, I asked them how much they charged, and "legally" she wouldn't tell us.
Today I got a call from them, asking me to come in, and of course telling me they have tons of wonderful single ladies, and that I would have no problem finding the love of my life. After thinking about it, I remembered the name Great Expectations, and brought it up to them, and the lady confirmed it was them.
I set up a meeting to come in at 6 pm tomorrow, and she said she will call me at 9:00 Monday morning. I already knew this company was a bunch of crooks, so when she calls me tomorrow I will tell her exactly that. For those of you who got ripped off by this company, I feel bad that they are still preying on people and scamming them. I'm very interested to hear her response when I tear into her company tomorrow morning :)
