Reviews of eHarmony

E-Harmony automatically renewed my membership, and charged me $140.95. Within 3 hours of receiving an e-mail about this, I tried contacting e-harmony to cancel, and get a refund. They said they couldn't because I had left the automatic refund on. That's news to me. They did offer half of my money back, and another 6 month membership. I called pay-pal to have the funds returned to my checking account, they said they couldn't, and told me to contact e-harmony. E-Harmony doesn't have customer service, they are more concerned about their money. I wondered why I hadn't gotten any matches from them for a week. It was coming up on my renewal date.

eHarmony is more shady than a large oak tree! So I reached open communication (for those of you not familiar, this is the last stage after answering the silly questions and must haves/can't stand lists) with a match and sent him a message on Monday. Unlike most matches, was actually intrigued by him and was disappointed when I still hadn't heard from him today (4 days later). Then I log in tonight and discover that he never responded to the message I sent Monday because eHarmony hadn't sent it. When I checked, it said the message was sent today. And surprise, surprise, my account expires in a week. So it sure looks like they are delaying sending my messages in hopes that I will renew to continue communicating with this guy. I called them and they did extend my subscription by a week, but they can't undo the damage of this guy thinking I'm not that interested because it took me 5 days to get back to him. The woman on the phone said they had never seen this happen before with a message being sent days later. I don't believe that for a second. I told her I thought it was suspicious and also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. What I really want to know is has anyone else had this happen to them???

DON'T join eH! In 2008 I was an eH member for 3 months during which time I received around 500 matches, usually 5-7 every day. Met one very good friend. Recently I rejoined for 3 months. In the first week I received 2 matches. After a month, I think I have had 5 or 6 total. I have complained and complained to eH and all I ever get are canned computer generated responses, which only serve to infuriate me. I asked on day 3 or 4 of my membership that it be closed and they won't do it. Today they just charged me for month #2. Their customer service is non-existent, and it's obvious to me it has become all about money. It's too bad that a company that was founded as a Christian service has turned into a big business that is after the money while failing to uphold high business standards. I consider them a SCAM.

I have to give eHarmony mixed reviews in all fairness. I am a former beauty pageant winner and chose not to post a pic-got lots of rejects but the ones who got thru were good ones--some even became terrific friends. Then I met THE ONE. He is a rock star with an oil and gas business and had so much in common with me that we were afraid we were related. We spent 8 months on the phone for 15 hours a day getting to know each other completely. I was head over heels in love. He came to get me and we got married within a few months. I wrote eHarmony tearful thank-you notes. Then I started finding out what the word REALITY meant. He was a washed-up rock guy with $498,000 in debt that he expected ME to go to work to pay his $9,000 per month debt. He lied about everything, gave me herpes, cheated on me, abused me and verbally and emotionally devastated me. I have yet to recover and still have not had sex since 2 days after I married him. He hurt me so badly during that with cruel battery that I am afraid to be that vulnerable with anyone again. I tried to kill myself after a particularly brutal beating with his unconscionable statements to me about my sexuality and looks, (both lies), when he told me I HAD to go out and prostitute myself to support him while he fucked other women. I don't blame eHarmony, but I blame online dating that allows naive women like me to be tortured bt sociopathic men who say anything to get you to fall in love. Please be forewarned.

I just filled out the profile. All of my answers reflect the very normal person I am. Based on other reviews, I made sure to select that I was Christian and was looking for other Christian people. I selected Single even though I'm Separated. I have no kids and indicated such. I said I would be willing to accept someone else's children.

My profile summary was one of someone who cares about others, is equally extroverted and reserved, not overweight (they ask a LOT of questions referring to your weight), active, physically fit, mild mannered and more that summarize me as a very balanced, well-adjusted and normal person.

THE RESULT...no matches in NJ. So I expanded to NJ, PA and CT. Still no matches. I expanded to my whole country...still no matches. I expended to the "entire world"! and...still no matches!

So the question is...on what basis did they decide I was not suitable for their service that no one in the entire world who is on eharmony does not match me even 5%? LOL. Maybe because I didn't state Jesus as one of the 3 most important people in my life. I'm tempted to complete another profile in which I paint myself as a Jesus freak and see what happens. How would Jesus feel about their discrimination? :-)

BEWARE OF EHARMONY. . .THEY ARE MAJOR EMAIL SPAMMERS THAT DO NOT GIVE YOU AN OPTION TO UNSUBSCRIBE to their WORTHLESS EMAILS. They are now offering a payment plan for their services, are they SOOO EXPENSIVE THAT THEY HAVE TO PUT PEOPLE ON A PAYMENT PLAN SO PEOPLE GO INTO DEBT.

I finally had to create a spam filter on these people.

There are many more trustworthy dating sites out there, check them out!

I am very dissatisfied with the procedure to close my account. Today, September 27th is the day to renew my subscription, I went online today to close my account,, I received the comment I am not entitled to a refund as my renewal was 3 days ago. This in my opinion is fraud. I will check my account, try to stop payment, if they have taken money without my authorization, I will seek legal advice. I saved and printed all communication from Eharmony. I suggest al members to do the same. I will inform everyone if EHarmony does the right thing.

The previous email looks like Eharmony marketing trying to fool us. It shows a tit for tat response for the negative reviews.

They better spend their time to improve ways to remove scammers from their site rather than spending time on this review site.

97% of all the reviews on this site is negative on Eharmony. You be the JUDGE if Eharmony is useful.

SCAM SCAM PLAIN SCAM

*********

I've been a member for a few weeks. I get about 5-10 new matches every day. Some of them don't have pictures or don't fill out their profile completely, so I just close them. Some haven't responded to my communications, so I close them after a while. Right now I'm communicating with three guys that seem really nice. I haven't met anyone in person yet. My experience with eHarmony has been great so far. Any problems with matches are the fault of the users, not eHarmony. For someone who hates going to bars and parties, this is a great way to meet compatible people. It's expensive for me, but I don't regret signing up at all. I think a lot of the problems people experience are due to their laziness or due to the users who do not fill out their profiles completely, or maybe the location that they are in. If you're in Connecticut, I recommend eHarmony!

Useless and useless.

I wish I had seen this site first before subscribing.

Eharmony is conning me and newcomers to get money to place more advertisements on tv, websites, radio, etc. to get more money from more newcomers like a big PONZI scheme.

Eharmony people are making a lot of money by giving us hope in finding love, while they enrich themselves.

Enriching on a FALSE PREMISE is unlawful and should be investigated by the police.

It is a FAKE business. Won't get my money again.
