Two Of Us

I called when I was angry, and yes I did not do the research and big mistake--I gave them my work phone number! Though I did tell them I do not want them to call it at all--yeah right I know you think I was naive. I talked to someone and they set me up for an appointment the next day. Note: I did not sign up for anything nor do I make any commitment. So the next day, feeling a bit calmer, I did my research and found this website with all the complaints and promptly called their office in KOP and cancelled the appointment. And they won't let me go! Dear God, you would think they owned your soul or something. They call immediately after on my cell phone. A week later they call on my work phone! I told them directly to never call again and, yes, I am getting very irritated at this point. And they say, "I may have to call you again in this number." The nerve to threaten me! What the hell? Don't these people have better things to do? My advice: do not have anything to do with this people. I need a lawyer maybe. If you are a good one, email me.

Thank you so much, Monick, for introducing us to each other. We are very happy and appreciate working with you to find each other. Without you we would never have met each other. Loneliness is now only a memory.

Two of Us is just another agency that is a scam and they do not provide "professional service" as the agency represent. They are an aggressive marketers who will take your money and run off with it. They do not provide services which they represent period. A total scam!

I spend thousands of dollars! Two of Us just take your money and don't bother to return your calls or emails. After 6 months with an agency, they sent me 2 people and you don't hear back from them again. I want to let people know that do not waste your money! You might as well kiss your money goodbye. Better spent it at shopping!

The heavy marketing and promises made were not even close to what they delivered. The staff I met at their Palm Beach Gardens, FL location has changed twice in the past year from being frustrated with their lack of ability to deliver and customer complaints. The 2 introductions I received over the course of a year were of extremely poor quality. I do not need to shell out $5,000 to be introduced to people that I commonly ignore every time I step into a bar. My advice to anyone with half a personality: Stay away these guys. They are a complete scam!

I received a call from one of your representatives today, Jan 19th at about 6:30 pm. I had never filled out an application or form, and have no idea how my information was obtained. She was extremely curt and rude. I ended the call quickly as I believed we had established that I was not interested. Your rep called back, in a manner that violates harassment laws, telling me that I am rude, have personal problems with my age and martial status, and should call back with an apology. Obviously, this judgmental person has no business working singles interested in meeting others.

Of course, you know this is no way to interact with the public. I know nothing about your business, but do plan to investigate how my information was obtained and what course of action is available to me in regards to this blatant harassment. Email will be the preferable method contact should you wish to resolve this issue as professionals. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Two Of Us is a so-called match making company. This happened almost two years ago. But I was paying on my credit card until last November. I was visiting the agency just for inquiries. But then then they kept telling me how they can match me with the person that I was looking for. I told them that I was not interested at that time because I didn't have a job and I just moved here a couple of months before. Their high pressure sales techniques worked. They were friendly until I signed then they would not take my calls. I paid thousands of dollars for one phone conversation with one man. They did not send me any more people after that.

Two thousand dollars for a 10-minute phone call is not what they promised. I got ripped off and many more have also been ripped off as I can ascertain by the number of complaints I have seen for this organization. I have sent 3 letters to the organization and made several phone calls. None have been returned. Let the buyer beware and do not sign a contract with these people. If you do, you will be sorry and will have thrown away thousands of dollars for nothing. I hope your agency will do something so that others are not duped by this so-called match making agency. Can you do anything to help me recover my money?

I got a call the day after Christmas from Two Of Us dating service to come down to Pittsburgh, about a three hour drive, to talk about signing up for my ideal mate by Christin. I asked about how much it would cost and she would not say. The next day, I started down in winter weather and called because the roads were bad and got Christin again. She told me I should try to make it for signing up for this. I got down there and had to call three times to get to the place. After finding it, I went up to the office and Heather was there. She took me in the room to fill out all these papers to be matched up with this big selection of ladies to find my ideal mate. After filling out the papers, she told me the fee would be $3895.00. She took my credit card and just told me how great of an opportunity this is.

On the way home, I started thinking I may have been getting ripped off from all these great promises. When I found on the computer of other people having the same experience, I called to have my credit card cancelled and then called. I got Christin and she told me how I was going to get in trouble for breach of contract. I told her that the credit card was cancelled. I heard nothing and about two weeks later, I got a notice that I was getting my first match. I called the lady and she was at least 3 hours from me. She had kids and grandkids living with her and she paid them about $1500. I think it is a scam and Two Of Us is good at ripping people off.

I was called and given a sales pitch for a match making club and signed a contract for $3,895.00 on my credit card. When I got home and checked consumer affairs on my computer, I called and cancelled my credit card and then called the company and they said I could not cancel. In a about 10 days, I found it went through and called the lady that I was matched up with and she said she ran in to the same thing. I would like to talk to an Attorney.

My name is Laura, and without Two of Us, my life today may have been very different. After trying a few different online sites, and not having any luck at all, I decided to give it a try. I made an appointment with the Lawrenceville location and spoke with Scott. He was very nice and really listened to me. My appointment with their matchmaker Jodi went well, and you can tell she really has a passion for what she does. She was very attentive to what I was looking for, and even the things I wasn't looking for. My investment came back to me ten-fold. On my very first match I met an amazing man, who I have now been married to for two years. If it weren't for the people there, I wouldn't have met Cameron, and I couldn't imagine life without him now. Thanks Jodi, Scott, and all the wonderful people at Two of Us! You truly changed my life.

I rank in the negatives: I went to the meeting at Two of Us and met with Kayla **, who said that I was not allowed to meet with a counselor because I am not currently employed, and that she wanted to work out a payment plan before we all 'wasted our time' if I wasn't going to take advantage of the program.

Since I wanted to know the prices anyway, I agreed. She put on the hard sell instantly, and made no qualms about explaining what a good deal she was giving me. We settled on a final price of $2,044 and she demanded my credit card immediately. Foolishly, I gave it to her. I instantly realized I had made a mistake and went into the back room and asked her not to run it. I said that I didn't want to take part in the program and that I would come back when I had a job.

She then reduced the amount of money I was expected to put down up front to $300, and expected to post date a payment until the end of the month for another $100. I agreed and signed the contract. Within 10 minutes of walking out the door, I knew I had made a mistake. I do not have a job. I do not need to be spending this sort of money, and I had already told her that I did not want to take part of the program.

I went back immediately, and demanded that she refund me my money and tear up the contract. She refused. She said that I was doing a "really ** thing" to her and that she "tried to work with me even though I didn't have a job and was not usually the kind of person they accepted into their program". I told her that I did not appreciate the hard sell and that I did not want to be in the program.

She told me to "go home and have a glass of wine and an aspirin". She claimed that this was simply buyers remorse and there was nothing she could do. I then asked for the number at corporate so that I could call them. She told me she would not give it to me and that they would just laugh at me. I told her that I wold take them to court. She said, "Go ahead because we would win'. As per the contract, I have requested arbitration through the Better Business Bureau. (#10 on the contract)

I give this company a negative rating! They do not deserve the one star I had to mark! They took advantage of my vulnerability and emotions at the first meeting which happened to be Valentine's Day! After a hard sales pitch and telling me they couldn't offer me the deal when I said I wanted to think about it and get back with them, I unfortunately signed the contract! They sent me 4 matches. I met 2 which were so far from my requirements on my profile and 2 that never materialized after unreturned phone calls to the individuals.

This company is a total scam! I have written them telling them of my regrets of joining, their taking advantage of a person with hard sales tactics and playing on emotions. I asked at my initial meeting to see some profiles and get a feel for the other members. This is against the rule!! They will not show you anything! They also told me that the men that were members were all well off and if they wanted to date me exclusively they would be more than willing to pay the rest of my membership! Ha! That would require actual dates! This company needs a class action suit filed against them!

It's a total scam and nothing but bait and switch and liars. Watch out for Monick, she is really good at lying to your face and then giving you a goodbye hug because she just likes you so much. Everything they say is carefully scripted and intended to play on your emotions, hopes and insecurities. They actually ripped me off for $10,000. So all the rest of you who got taken for $2,000 or $3,500, you got off easy. Run away from them as fast as you can.

I appealed to credit card company on day five (once I realized the phantom great guy they had for me was suddenly no longer available), but Two of Us hides behind a signed contract that gives no credence to the fact that they fraudulently induced you to get into their stupid contract in the first place. There doesn't seem to be a way to get any of my $10k back. It's a very expensive lesson when trusting people too much. I knew something was off after five minutes in their office, but dismissed it as nerves. It's a big mistake.

Two Of Us, remember when you said I would probably meet someone compatible within the first couple of dates? Remember how skeptical I was and called you after signing up all freaked out with buyer's remorse? Well, the first man you set me up with is now my husband. Brent and I cannot get enough of each other. I feel like a teenager again. I seriously could not imagine meeting someone so handsome, intelligent, witty, and wonderful at my age. Although 41, I was not old; I was just afraid all the good ones were taken! I can not believe how committed we are to each other in such a short period of time. Not to sound corny, but to quote Brent in relation to our finding each other, "It's a miracle." Cute, huh?

We are so thankful we took the risk and trusted you with this process. I will recommend you to any of my single friends that are tired of trying to find love on their own or via the internet. It was very expensive to join, but now that I have someone so amazing in my life, he's actually worth even more. If there's anything I can do for you to help promote what you are doing, please let me know. I want you to continue to be blessed with your successful business, you deserve it.

PS: When this review was first written on ** he was my boyfriend, he is now my husband.

I have been a client for a while now and I am very pleased. This is a process and it takes time. I truly believe if you're a happy and realistic person, that you will find the good in this company and how hard they try to make everyone happy. We go to them searching for love. They are human beings trying to do their job. I have total compassion for what they do and what they offer. They have matched me with very nice people, some are my type and some are not. I believe it will work for me, because I am kind, patient and realistic. Thank you Two Of Us staff.

Around the end of November 2011, I met my current boyfriend through the Two of Us dating service. Truth be told, neither one of us would have ever engaged in conversation, etc., if this dating service hadn't matched us and we hadn't followed through with the protocol. To those interested, it didn't happen quickly. It was expensive. It was a happy surprise. I don't think you can put a monetary value on finding a life partner. I am grateful.

I only now saw other complaints, very unfortunate! But maybe newcomers will be warned. This is a total scam. The "matches" are completely random, in fact, I suspect we'd do better with random encounters. The staff definitely and cynically takes advantage of people who are vulnerable and who do not want to do online dating or have similar "meat-market" experiences. This service promises humane and thoughtful matching.

I was pretty realistic in my expectations (did not imagine they'd send the knight in shining armor, but thought maybe I would have some decent conversations over a glass of wine). I may even say I was pessimistic. Yet, even a pessimist can be sorely disappointed, as it turns out. This "service" should be held accountable!

My experience is very similar to the rest of the reviews, was high pressure that men would be high caliber and screened. Don't believe they do that. I turned down most of the selections before I even met because they were either 12 years older than me (I'm 62) or spoke to them and nothing in common. I paid $2K for nothing. I asked for money back and they said it would never happen, even though I told them how unhappy I am with the service. They prey on lonely people and don't deliver. I would like to become part of the lawsuit against this agency. They need to be closed.

They offered phantom promises of a wonderful match. There was no such person. 6 referrals were very much and they weren't a match either. Monick hung up on me when I mentioned I want my money back. This is certainly a class action suit and I will start it. I'm willing to hire a firm that specializes in class action multi-states suits. I will know more after I meet with them Wednesday, December 14, 2011.

I met with Jodi ** at the Lawrenceville office for a consultation. It turned out to be a high pressure sales pitch! She assured me that this would be successful, and that the success rate was over 80%. Reluctantly, I eventually agreed to her membership after she reduced the price. After several months, I received only 2 matches. One never responded and the other was not what I had described that I was looking for. Every time I called, someone new was working there. After I complained I have not been contacted, and my calls have not been returned, I found myself out a lot of money and nothing in return for it!

I started to fill out the form, realized I didn't want to be a part of this, hit unsubscribe multiple times. The next day, the calls started. I'm not sure who the woman was, but her messages were so garbled and she spoke so fast, I couldn't even begin to get the message. Then, "Harvey" called, I explained I didn't want to join and tried to unsubscribe, he asked to call me the next night at 8:30 pm, I agreed after explaining my time was limited. The 8:30 pm time came and went, I had also explained I would be working on Monday for 12 hrs, not getting off till 11pm. At 7:19 pm while at work, he calls, I stated I was at work and disconnected the call. He left a message stating if he didn't hear back from me within 24 hrs, he would remove my number and stop calling. Ok, good, but Harvey doesn't want to give up, so on Tuesday at 2:32 pm, he calls and starts his spiel, I explained again that I was not interested, especially since he missed the call at the appointed time, nor did he call to ask to reschedule.

When I pointed this out to him and told him I would never consider doing business with a company that was not detail oriented, which showed a lack of concern for the personal time of a client, he became very defensive and rather insulting, and snippy with me when I reminded him I wasn't really interested. It was him who insisted I give him the time to explain why he could help me, a company like this who has people like "Harvey" and the mush-mouth princess is what gives the dating services a bad name. This was the King of Prussia office. Thank goodness my gut instinct took over and I didn't go any further. No respectable business owner would speak to a potential client like a bratty teenager not getting his way!

No star rating. This company has scammed me out of $1,500. They sent me on dates that were not screened. Who knows who these guys really were? They clearly lied about their personal information and were not screened. I continually tell the "counselor" of the week, as each time I am dealing with some new person who has no idea what they are doing, of the radius of mileage I want to remain in. No one listens.

I want my money back. It's been over 3+ years, I've been dealing with this fraudulent company and want a full refund. I have given many opportunities to rectify my unhappiness and they just have no idea!

As hundreds before me, I made the same mistake. Two of Us pushed me into the membership of almost $2K and delivered nothing. This has to stop. I want everyone who was taken advantage by this company to know that I am hiring a lawyer. I am willing to take them on. I will shut this horrible business off. I will need witnesses to testify for all of us to the atrocious behavior. They cannot just steal money from people and walk unpunished. This is a highway robbery!

Alone, we do not stand a chance. Together, we can stop this and others who take advantage when people are at their lowest. We need to unite and stand together against Two of Us, so we can win this battle.

I was scammed like so many others. I experienced the same as the other complainants. I made it very clear that I did not have the kind of money they were wanting. It was very high pressure. What they did for me was reduced it down to $500.00 but asked me not to tell anyone that that was all I paid. Lonely elderly people are taken advantage of every day by companies just like this. I have to just consider my lack of knowledge about these dating services. None of them are very honest, even the ones under the good ole religion services.

I had an in-office (Colts Neck, NJ) appointment with Jill. Not only was it a high pressure sale, I also found out that she outright lied to me while I was in her office. Since I signed up over a month ago, I spoke to a matchmaker. She promised she would be sending me a match the following week. Not only did I have to call back to see if she was sending me a match, but the "match" she did finally send me never called. When I called the matchmaker and the office to inquire, I was told to wait a few more days. After a week and a half with still no call from my supposed match, I tried to call the number sent to me. It was a business and not the person that was my match. I have still not heard back from my matchmaker to tell me why this has happened. Also, when I called Jill out on lying to my face, she said she didn't think it mattered.

I will be writing a letter in the morning to the Bridgewater, supposedly matchmaker's office. I will also be stopping into the Colts Neck office. I realize I have probably lost quite a bit of money. But I will be hiring an attorney if I do not get any satisfaction. If there is anyone out there that would like to join me in a lawsuit against them, please feel free to contact me at **. Also, if anyone has gotten any satisfaction from this unscrupulous company, could you please advise me how? I am not a wealthy woman. I'm just looking for a nice man and they prey on the lonely. I find it absolutely disgusting that they claim to be matchmakers when all they are is hard-core salespeople, with nothing to give but aggravation and stress to really good people.

This company is complete and utter fraud. They mislead women and probably men as well, whom they feel may be at a low point, and lure them to come in and interview to become a candidate for one of their profiles. They do not tell you at any point during the appointment set up about the fees and they judge you by your profile on how much you are worth.

Once you arrive, they do not provide you with any information, yet expect you to provide them with all your personal information. They let you spend 35 minutes filling out a personal survey. Once that is completed, they push you to pay for something that you are not provided any information or pricing chart on. If you disagree or would like to hold off and think about it, they become more pushy, degrading, insulting and outright rude. They have a makeshift office with young ugly men and women whom are unmarried, yet they promise you the sky and the stars until you don't agree to give your money like a scummy car dealership.

They wasted one and a half hours of my time, called me very insulting names, told me that I should pay them for their gas to get to the appointment to meet me, and be a complete waste of a person who expects the world. How or why does anyone have the right to waste my time as a young, hard working professional? They tried to lure me into a scam and to get money out of me. Once they are not successful, they become hostile and practically kick me out of their office.

What happened to the nice, pretty individual whom you said I was when first meeting me? Do you think that you're going to be able to get tons of money for empty promises without any contract? This company is probably not even registered or legal in any way and should be shut down no matter what! They are worst than the scariest car dealerships that have a bad reputation out there!

I was pressured to sign a contract in order to get a lower membership fee. I told the young lady I didn't want to make a commitment that day. However, she convinced me to put down a deposit and post date another check. I knew as soon as I left that it was a mistake. I called her back within 2 hours the same day to cancel. No one answered the phone. Then, I called on Monday morning to cancel. I followed up with a certified letter. I received a threatening message stating I still have a membership and they have a legal right to collect my money. The sales technique is very similar to a timeshare sale.

The purpose of this message is to file an official complaint against a company called Two of Us. They are located in King of Prussia, PA. Their telephone number is 484-679-1017. Two of Us is a singles/match making organization. Recently, I filled out one of their applications, as I was only considering becoming a member of their organization. They subsequently called me, a few times. Each time they called, I was busy. Today, September 18, 2011, they called again. I was able to afford the representative a few minutes. She subsequently informed me that I would need to drive to their location (located in King of Prussia, PA). I immediately responded to her, "Oh, well King of Prussia, PA really is too far for me to drive, but thank you for your time," in a polite tone. She responded "Oh, okay" in a very disappointed tone.

Moments later, I received a nasty hostile voice mail message from her supervisor. He stated in word to the effect, that I made his employee cry, that I was rude, and disrespectful. He also stated that it's no wonder I am having problems in my career, and can't meet a woman. In fact, I have a very good job (that I've held for 25 years) that pays $82K per year, and a full social life. His telephone message was completely inappropriate. I did save the subject voicemail message.

I made an online inquiry about a match-making service. I received a phone call, and the gentleman told me that this will be a no-pressure, no-sales pitch, introductory meeting with no obligation to buy. (Lie.)

I arrived on Saturday, August 13, 2011, roughly around 12:15 p.m. I met with a lady who handed me personality tests and inquires heavily about my finances. I was then taken to meet "Monick" (if that's even her real name). She started off trying to flatter me, saying that I look much younger. Then she proceeded to try to identify with me telling me that she attended church every Sunday and told of a man who gave her a $25,000 ring but once she found out he was cheating, she dumped him.

She then told me how she had this wonderful black guy for me, that he was a high roller client. She got up, headed over to her file cabinet, and took a folder. She began to dial a number and started acting as if some guy who was around my same age, height, location and shared my same astrology sign wanted to meet me. She instructed him to call her back in 10 minutes sharp because she had to show me the prices and get me in the program before he could meet me.

This sales pitch starts at a whopping $13,000. Amazingly, this price dropped swiftly as I decided I was not interested in making any financial commitment without first thinking this through because it was moving very fast. She finally gets to $2,500 and $500 due that day and $2,000 due on the last day of the month.

She was emphatic about how wonderful this black guy was and how cute this black guy was. She kept talking about how she just knew we would be a cute couple, and how she needed black women 30-35 years old, and although I was 38, I fit the profile of what the requests that she had. She couldn't answer many questions about him because his file was "downstairs" where the actual matchmakers were and that she was not a matchmaker but an enrollment counselor (although she was acting in the capacity of both).

She then made promises that after three meetings, I will want to place my account on hold because most people meet their match by that time. She assured me that this "Dave" character and I were absolutely perfect for each other.

In the middle of her pitch, "Dave" called back, eager to know if I had signed up because he absolutely, positively, unequivocally wanted to meet me. So eventually after much prodding from Monick, I agreed.

She called for her assistant to take my debit card and charge the $500 and very shortly afterwards ushered me into the next room in order for her assistant to read a personality test pamphlet with me. Monick came in and said that Dave is looking forward to meeting me; however, she told him not to give me a call until after Wednesday but before Friday. Hmm...I wonder why.

If you have been a victim of Two of Us, Inc., this whole song-and-dance should sound awfully familiar. As I replayed the events in my head, I wondered why would he have to wait until after Wednesday to call me? Then I went online to investigate.

I realized the reason Ms Monick wanted to hold me over past Wednesday is because she knew that I would have no recourse. Once they knew you want to cancel, suddenly their phones become nonoperational, no one is available and the song-and-dance continues. Unscrupulous.

So today, not only did I fax my written request to cancel at 7:45 this morning (08/16/11), I also requested that my manager give me a two-hour break at 12:45 to hand-deliver my written request. Of course when I arrived at 1:30 p.m. as I indicated in my fax request, the doors were locked and their calls were being handled through a telephone answer/forwarding service. I took pictures of me at the door and videotaped myself there evidencing that I had delivered my handwritten request to cancel my membership.

What's even more unfortunate is that there are people being scammed for thousands of dollars and they each say that their representative pretended to be on the phone with some potential love interest and that this person rarely manifests. It is just absolutely disgusting that someone can look you dead in the eye, lie to you in order to sign you up with them under grotesquely false pretenses utilizing unfair persuasion to procure an agreement. It's coercion, plain and simple, and that, my dear friends, is illegal!

I answered a "free" ad sent to my email address and before I knew it, I received a call the next day from The Two of Us. I was literally conned to travel to Upland, CA. When Verenia quoted me the price of between $4,500 to $9,500 for their dating service, I told her I was not interested even if I could afford it; let alone that I couldn't afford it and left her office. She called my house the next day to tell me that because of my appearance and presence, her "boss" agreed to give me the service for $1,000. What a bargain, I went for it, but got absolutely nothing for it.

I found what I was looking for but I did not think the price was worth it.

I was harassed by phone calls after filling out a brief profile online. I work all kinds of works hours and days and barely have the time to listen to my messages. In addition, I met someone and don't have the money for any dating service. It should have been painfully apparent to them that I was not interested BUT it was a final straw when an ignorant man called and left an insulting message on my answering machine TOTALLY uncalled for and VERY unprofessional!!!!

Two Of Us dating service took money and failed to perform on anything to which they had agreed.

I have sent multiple letters and multiple feedback to this company and have received no better service from them at all. I have been a member of their service for quite some time, only because they won't give me my money back! But as in the case of many others here, they (Two Of Us) play on your heartstrings and give a real good sales pitch to get you to join. After my first match, they hooked me up with a complete nut case. I told them to just refund my money and leave me alone, and I had no further contact with them for over a year. I was VERY upset, I thought "this is what they think of me to set me up with this person?" They should put as much effort into their matchmaking as they do in their sales. Maybe then they might be successful!

I am EXTREMELY disappointed! When I signed up for this service, I was promised that my matches would be handpicked for me. This has not happened at all. I have been set up with the most incompatible men they could find for me it seems, and could not have been any further from the type of match I am looking for. I have spoken with others only to find that they have been charged much cheaper, and that they had been set up with truly incompatible persons, too. Most people I have spoken with are frustrated with Two Of Us. This is certainly not going to lead to us spreading the word about your services. I have warned, and will continue to warn others NOT to get involved in this company nor on their services. How could this be a "hands-on" matchmaking service, as PROMISED AND GUARANTEED in the original contract? A contract that is written so that you can never get your money back.

This is not the service that I was promised, and was nowhere near being worth what I paid for! I could continue listing my gripes with the Two Of Us, but the main point is that I spent way too much money to be this disappointed. At this point, I feel completely manipulated by Two Of Us, and what was promised on the day that I signed up is not being delivered at all. I would like Two Of Us to refund my money.

I am not satisfied by any means with the service and I feel that the only act of good faith by the Two Of Us would be to refund my money. By not refunding the money, it shows that you do not truly care about the satisfaction of your customers, but rather just care about making a profit.

I wanted to cancel my membership the day after I signed up. I e-mailed the woman who originally contacted me, Lisa, but she never called me back. Then, I called the office, spoke with Joyce and was told that they cannot refund my money and she was trying to convince me to meet with this woman. Joyce was telling me how wonderful this woman is and tried to give me her phone number. Without any heads up, she expected me to call. She refused to cancel my membership and refund my money.

I joined this dating service in 2007(back then it was called 'Together'). At the time, I signed a contract for 12 dates (referrals) with a provision that if they did not deliver 12 dates (referrals) in 12 months, they would give me an additional 12 dates (referrals).

So far, I have received 18 referrals - and of these, 8 never returned my phone calls to go out on a date and two of the other referrals were separated, not even divorced yet (what sort of screening do they do?).

The main problem I have with the dating service is that now they are calling me to try to sell me additional services, such as professional date coaching and life coaching (for an additional $1,500). And their latest dating service is "screening" where they call you ahead of time and let you decide whether or not you want to meet with a referral ahead of time (for an additional $500).

I suspect this entire dating service is a scam (well, duh) targeting people with impulsivity problems (easy to persuade) and too much money. They actually give you an authentic personality test (my degree is in psychology and I've seen the real thing) to determine your personality, weaknesses and/or strengths. The way they rope the women in is by showing us the "marriage book" which implies that many of their referrals result in marriage.

I can't say that they "got me", but since I was ripped off by other scams, I saw the warning signs. The first sign was that they would not give me a price over the phone. Whenever a business does this, it should be avoided, however I was curious so I went to the interview which consisted of filling out the same type of forms that you would complete for any dating service. Then the sales person started the "friendly" conversation to get my guard down, telling I'm great for this dating service, etc.

She leaves and comes back with a price list for memberships. Outrageous! Something like $3,000.00 for the lower priced membership. I can't recall the exact prices. They made me dizzy! I balked. She offered to lower the price. I asked to least be allowed to take some time to think about it. The woman became sort of nasty when I asked to be given time to think it over. Of course she would not let me do this; a definite sign that this is a scam. Here's why. Upon doing some research, I found this site.

I would like to thank Consumeraffairs.com for protecting consumers as they do. The previously posted reviews helped me to sort of recover from this incident. Yes, it was kind of an ordeal. My review is an affirmation of the comments of those people who were already ripped off. It is, to say the least, despicable to take advantage of those who are trying to find some companionship.

Please be aware that all those glowing reviews of Two Of Us that you see on TrustLink are fake. The company owns that site and they wrote all those reviews themselves as a way to counteract this site, which is where you will find real people telling you the truth about Two of Us. Two of Us is not concerned about the outcome of your experience. They only want your money. There is no "set" price range. Whatever they think they can get out of you, that is the price sheet you will be shown. You can get the same exact package for $1,000 as you can for $10,000. All you have to decide is how much do you want to lose?

I joined this very expensive dating service a few months ago. I met with "Salina" on a Monday mid-morning. My appointment was at 11am, but she didn't get there until 11:30. She looked like she had just rolled out of bed, wrinkled clothing, hair and makeup badly slapped together as if she was making a quick run to the grocery store for milk and bread.

I should have known from the start that she was only interested in my money. She seemed distracted and uninterested in what I had to say. But I made the mistake of telling her I thought she was distracted and that got her attention. She went into "sales" mode after that (which I see now, only in hindsight, unfortunately).

The worst part is that after I signed up, I got poor service and whenever I called her to discuss my membership, someone else always answered and said she wasn't in, but that she would call me back. This Salina person is the so-called manager of the office, yet she never once returned my call nor was she ever there (or so they claimed) when I called.

To be honest, if I'd been called back or treated with respect, I might not be so angry about having been taken for several thousands of dollars.

I am out money now because I was not smart enough to cancel my contract within 3 business days. However, how could I have known their service was so bad and that no one would ever return my call in only 3 days? No one could know that.

In retrospect, I should have realized that a person who keeps me waiting for 30 minutes and then comes in looking like hell, is probably not going to provide good service later (or return calls). But you can benefit from my mistake. Do not join this service. It is a rid off at any price and the "manager" Salina is unprofessional and sleazy. She doesn't care about you, she only wants your money.

I entered into a contract with Two of Us on April 8, 2010. I emailed them with a notification of cancellation more than 24 hours before the three-day period was up but wasn't informed until two weeks later that they would not accept cancellation by electronic mail. I have retained an attorney but his letters are not answered. The sales practices of this company are nothing less than unscrupulous. I spent many hours with the sales rep., Monick, who worked me over emotionally until I finally caved in. I cried for much of the time I was in her office while she took my credit cards, lured me with telephone calls from prospective "gentlemen", cajoled me, and even fed me when I said I had to leave because I was getting low blood sugar and had to go home.

For almost a year, I have felt so alone in this until I read the other complaints on this website. I couldn't believe that I hadn't written the first complain myself. Her experience with Monick was exactly the same as mine. I lost $9,500 and I am still working on recuperating all of it. I am very interested in looking into the possibility of filing a class action suit. It's still about the money, but it's also about allowing a company like this to operate in a civilized culture like ours.

I worked for Two of Us, a private singles organization. Even though I was the top TM for 5 months, the director would tell me you ** suck. If you were sick once and had a doctor's excuse the director will tell you to get your ** back in there. Constantly saying ** you and other choice words, constantly harassing me. Corporate finally got rid of that director, but when they found out everything that went on, they decided to get rid of me. They said I did not produce enough revenue in 3 weeks out of 6 months. I had laryngitis but still went to work.

This is the email that I have sent multiple times to this company, and I have received no response. I have also called many times in order to solve this issue, but they have completely ignored all calls. The email reads:

I have been a member of your service for almost five months. I am EXTREMELY disappointed. When I signed up for this service, I was promised one-on-one interaction with my matchmaker. I was told that the matches are hand-picked for one another and the matchmakers truly have a personal touch in fitting the likes and dislikes of the clients. This has not happened at all.

I have been set up with three referrals and have yet to meet one man. The referrals either never called, phone number was not accurate, were no longer enrolled in the service, or could be farther from the type of mate I am looking for. In addition, I was extremely different than what they are looking for as well. Both end of the parties wound up frustrated with Two of Us. This is certainly not going to lead to us spreading the word about your services.

How could this be a "hands-on" matchmaking service, as PROMISED AND GUARANTEED on the original sign up and the referral be no longer enrolled in the service? This is not the proof of hands-on matchmaking that I was assured.

I could continue listing my gripes with your service, but the main point is that I spent way too much money to be this disappointed. At this point, I feel completely manipulated by your company. What was promised on the day that I signed up is not being delivered at all. I would like you to refund my money. I am not satisfied by any means with the service, and I feel that the only act of good faith by your company would be to refund my money. By not refunding the money, it shows me that you do not truly care about the satisfaction of your customers, but rather just care about a profit. I hope to hear from you soon and that this can be resolved smoothly. Thank you for your time, Kathryn **

It is a big scam. First off they tried to rewrite the contract from what was presented and discussed. After arguing with them and trying to cancel which I wish I had, they sent referrals of people who frankly I'm not sure exist. They tried to fix me up with a smoker, a butcher and others who did not come close. I am a non smoker and vegetarian. The butcher also thought it was a bit crazy to be set up with me. I have kept on them in the hope that they may accidentally get it right. Like another person who posted a complaint, I was given the same song and dance as there was this great guy. he paid high dollar amount. The scene was the same; the names where changed and I had negotiated a much lower rate than the other person on this site.

Two Of Us (MatureSinglesOnly.com) is a scam which got me for $1500 using unscrupulous sales methods. I went on the internet and found Two of Us. I went to their offices and met with Joyce **, a sales person. After gathering some information, Joyce laid down a contract for $8,900. I was astonished and ready to leave. Suddenly the price went down to $1500. From other complaints I have read about this organization, there is no fixed price. It's whatever you can get out of the customer.

I foolishly signed the contract and initialed several paragraphs that I did not read carefully. Two of Us claims that they are a matchmaking service that will find people their perfect mate. Since I began my membership two months ago they have referred 5 people to me. I have contacted them all and three did not even answer their phones. The referral is an email with a phone number, a name, and a vague one sentence description. That's it. No photos, no details. The two women I was able to contact were nothing like I had requested and it's been very uncomfortable for me to have to reject these people when we should never have been introduced!

I have written Two of Us, emailed them and called them, asking them to cancel my contract and refund my membership fee but they have not answered me. They refuse to take my calls and will not return calls either. I have not received any answer to any of my written pleas to cancel my membership and refund my fee. I have since researched this organization and found that there are so many complaints against it for high pressure sales tactics and terrible service. A class action lawsuit might be in order. They scammed me out of $1500!

Two of Us is a dating service. I signed on March 20, 2010 and was sent my first referral March 30. Seven days past the deadline for legally getting out of signing a contract in the State of Texas. After being matched up with two individuals I discovered I had been grossly mislead by Brenda **, membership counselor. I was told I would be dating quality men that would "wine and dine" me, take me to the "Hill Country of Texas," and on cruises out of Galveston that she herself had gone on 32 cruises and she met her husband at "Two of Us."

Some of the parameters that I requested were that he be at least 5'11" to 6'3" or 4. " I asked that he not be a motorcycle enthusiast, and that he be between 55 and 63 years old. I was never told that these parameters could not be met, so why did they bother having me fill out a compatibility test?

I asked how much this was going to cost me and Ms. Brenda showed me a piece of paper with $8,500.00 written on it. When I told her I couldn't afford it, she left the room and returned with a different figure of $4,885.00 and they would send me three less referrals. When I asked if I could take the contract home and read over it, I was told the offer could not be extended to tomorrow. My first referral was Robert from Galveston. I was surprised to read he was 5'8" and rode motorcycles. Robert left me a message on my phone but I never returned his call. My second referral was Terry. We met for dinner. From the moment we laid eyes on each other we both know we had been mismatched. Our only common thread was that we both worked for an airline. We said goodbye at 8:30 at the restaurant.

I was frustrated that none of my requests were not being met, so on April 18, 2010, I drove to "Two of Us" and asked the receptionist, Toni, if I could speak with Susan **, the director. I was seated in another room and was told Susan was with another client and so Toni asked if she could help me. I told her of my disappointment and that I wanted to cancel and have my money returned. Toni explained that she was responsible for the matching not Ms. ****, whom I had spent four hours explaining what I was looking seeking.

When I mentioned the height mismatch she said, "Well, we have very few men, if any, that are tall in our database." I wondered why I wasn't told this in my initial interview with Ms. Brenda before signing the contract. I believe "Two of Us" failed to honor their verbal commitment to me and is in violation of the Texas trade practices.

As with all the other complaints, I had a 3 hour interview with Laura **, promised a match, promised a matchmaker that would find someone, and was delivered nothing. I used an American Express card to pay for this service, and when I challenged the charge, Two of Us claimed they had delivered two matches. No matches have been delivered this outfit is a fraud and must be stopped. I do not know what it will take, but they must be stopped.

On Sept. 3, 2010, I went into their office and met with Jody. She spoke of all the high end people that come to their dating service, doctors, attorneys, and CEO of companies. She asked about past dating experiences. When I told her I had been on Match. com, she informed me I would only find losers there and the men that I would be meeting would never be on Match. In the contract I signed, it stated that they had 1-4 weeks to match me up. The first introduction they sent was a man named Bill, in which I told them no. Bills, my ex-husband, was named Bill.

Well, he never called anyway. The second was a guy I went out with 2 months ago on Match.com. When I called them to complain that they had $2000.00 of my money and I had nothing, they told me there were no refunds. I then began to research this company and was appalled. How can they still be in business? They scam people over and over every day. With all these small businesses going under, how can a business like the Two of Us still be around? I just want my money back and to warn other people of this terrible company, The Two of Us.

Two of Us came up as a pop up on my computer so I decided to look at it and gave my name and number for someone to call. I wasn't too sure what it was about until the next day when someone called to make an appointment for me to come in an talk with them about myself and learn about what their company does and how it wasn't like anything else out there. I had made several appointments that I didn't keep and kept rescheduling. They were very persistent on getting me to come in and would call every day. I had cancelled one appointment due to my family member being sick and they pretended to be concerned and made me feel that maybe this was a good company. I finally went in and noticed that there were all pretty girls that worked there.

They started out by telling me that I was so beautiful and that they couldn't believe that I wasn't married, how could I be single when I was so sweet and pretty, etc. I was showed to a room that was decorated like a room in a model home. It had nice furniture, nice smelling candles that were lit, and pictures of couples that had met through this company. I will say that most of then looked like they were from the 1970's and 80's. I was given a bunch of forms to fill out about myself and what I was looking for in a man.

After that, I was shown pictures of good looking men that Verenia said she wasn't allowed to show me. She said that they are not supposed to show pictures of anyone but she knew that these men that had just signed up would die to go out with me and she wanted me to see that there were current pictures and not just the old ones I had seen earlier. Next, she had me fill out some financial information paperwork and said that everyone has to fill them out because they make sure all of their clients are financially secure before introducing them to each other. Next, she gave me a list of packages with their prices.

I almost died! At that point I was done and told her I didn't think it was that expensive. So she then asked me what I could afford and if they arranged monthly payments, would I consider it? So she comes back from talking to her "boss" and tells me that if I give them $500 I would only have to pay $130/mo. for 2 years.

She also told me that the men have to pay double what the women pay and when one of the men likes you, they end up paying it off for you because they want you to belong to a service anymore. I felt like I was buying a car with all the negotiating going on and then finally felt pressured enough into it that I just signed and gave them my ATM card.

The next day, I called her back and told her that I couldn't sleep the night before because I was so stressed out about the money. I told her that I thought about it and I didn't want to do this. She again tried to tell me that I was so beautiful and that there were so many guys that she personally knew of that were looking for someone just like me. I was so vulnerable at this point in my life, just recently broke up with my fiance of 7 years and had no direction. She totally took advantage of that and took my money and lied to me. I think I was sent four different referrals and they were all men that were nothing like what I was looking for in any way. They all lived 50miles or more, away.

They say you are not suppose to see what they look like before you meet them and to just like what you hear from them on the phone. I couldn't do that so the ones I talked to I asked for them to send me a picture. None of them even had any of the characteristics that I was looking for. I felt as if they were just sending me what they had regardless of what I was looking for. When I told them this, they were upset that I had seen pictures and told me that I wasn't allowed to ask them for them.

I have not been sent another referral since then. I have also asked for my membership to be cancelled four different times and finally after sending Verenia an email, I received some paperwork 2-3 weeks later. I filled it out regarding my move to my sisters in San Diego and still have not heard anything back. It has been 5 weeks and they still continue to take the money out of my account. I have also called the company that makes the withdrawal and they too have not responded or returned my calls like I was told. I have never asked for my money back. All I want is for them to cancel my membership and stop taking my money. They have never provided a service that they made me believe they would. This company is nothing but a scam and they take advantage of single, vulnerable women that they know will not stand up to them.

My name is Annie **. I am 65 years old, live in Pasadena and have recently retired from over 25 years teaching, much of it in the inner city. I have a small pension and feel embarrassed to say that I recently made a bad financial decision based on my naive and a slick sales job. I say embarrassing because I fell for a line from a dating service, "Two of Us" located in Encino, California. Somehow, a fellow got my name off of the Internet. In no time, refusing to discuss money over the phone and claiming to be specializing in matching older people, he had me in the offices of this enterprise. The next thing I knew I had plopped down $15,000 of my savings (a little less then half of what I make in my yearly pension) for this service. I have not slept since.

The "matchmaker" and sales representatives say that the company does not give refunds. I tried to discuss a refund with a few of them, but was told there was no way I could get my money back. I received two very poor referrals and am now convinced that the whole idea is a quick money making sham especially for easy targets in my age bracket and life circumstances.

As I mentioned, I am embarrassed for being so easily duped and such an easy target. I very much regret spending my savings, which I need for bills, etc. Can a company refuse to give money back for services not rendered? 15 referrals were promised ($1,000 a meeting!). As I see it, since I tried two referrals, I have spent $2,000 and should at a minimum be refunded $13,000. Thank you very much for any help you can give me. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

High pressure sales, the like of which I've never seen before at 61 years old. So, sympathetic and pushing that they could set me up with a life mate. I arrived at 1:30 pm and left $5,690.00 lighter at about 7:00 pm. This woman made me feel they would really be there for me and they had many men to match me up with. These men were sincere, and looking for a woman near their age with things in common. They were educated and well to do, showing me what the men pay upwards of $35,000.00

I received a special deal, the prices for women started at $6,900 when I nearly fainted at the price, she left the room, when returning she stated that the owner of the company after hearing my sad life story, "condensed version" he cut the price to only 5,690. I didn't want to go through with it, but she continued to fill out paper work and talk to me like she was my new best friend. Telling me how happy I would be, I'd find someone to truly love me and spend the rest of my life with.

She was quite a salesperson. I knew it was the wrong thing to do, but, I couldn't stop myself. When I was trying to read the contract, she continually spoke to me. She was very distracting. The contract says they're no refunds. I've since read on the internet what swindlers these people are. I am sick at what I've spent. $5,690. is a lot of money.

I'm not young, I work hard, pay my bills, and care for my 94-year old Grandmother. I have been "alone" for almost 6 years after a 20-year marriage. I have not attempted to meet men because I have major trust issues. And the fact that "these men wanted to meed "Quality Women" with like interests, ones near their own age. This woman really had me believing that it might be possible to have a loving relationship again. Someone that would be a friend and companion. After all this time to start to heal enough to make any effort to meet someone. I have suffered with major depression issues, the things she said lifted this numb deadness from my life, for a couple of days, now I realize what a fool they've made of me.

I signed up with Two of Us dating service on 2/22/10 after seeing a news segment about how great of a company they were. Of course it was their spokesperson pitching the service, but it sounded very promising. I had recently moved to Florida and since I really do not drink, I do not frequent bars and nightclubs and thought this was the perfect solution. I made an appointment and went in for a so called "interview" which lasted more than 2 hours. As with many other complaints regarding this company, I was told by the very convincing woman that she already had 3 women she just knew would be a "perfect match" for me.

She also left the room several times and had someone else come in to tell me they also had someone they wanted me to meet. My criteria for meeting a woman was not very defined as I am open to most if the chemistry is there, but I did state I absolutely needed to meet a woman who enjoyed motorcycles as this is my passion and I want to share that with my partner. They told me they had several prospects who either ride themselves or love to be on the back of a motorcycle and that bikers were "very common" with them. Hearing this I bought into it and shelled out the $4,500 to join.

Here I am almost 10 months later and I have had 5 leads and 3 actual dates. The only absolute thing I have in common with all of them is our sense of being scammed by Two Of Us. All 3 women I had a date with stated they were hesitant to go out on our date because they had been misled and felt like they had been taken advantage of. Needless to say that while they were nice women, we mutually agreed we really had nothing in common at all. In addition to this, I dealt with 4 different women at Two Of Us as part of my joining then my "case managers" and I soon realized that I never really spoke to anyone more than once before they no longer worked there.

It seems an office of 6-8 people has turned over at least 6 people in the last 8 months. I reached out to Two Of Us on three occasions and asked my last case worker to have someone contact me as I was very unhappy with their service. I have not received that call yet. I tried to pursue a refund through American Express but to no avail as Two of Us denied the refund. Even though I remain on their so called "active list" I have not been given a referral since May 21st, almost 3 months now. Where can I go from here? Help.

I had a wonderful experience with the two of us. This program works and I met wonderful people through this service. They told me to be patient and let it for me; I was realistic and knew it wouldn't work over night. I thank everyone for taking such good care of me. I think your staff is wonderful.

I filled out an application on the pop up and was later contacted by phone for an interview. I was greeted by the supposedly receptionist and told to start filling out the type of profile that I want interested in meeting. After sitting in what seem to be a 7x8 room for hours talking to the sales person, I was quoted with some unbelievable prices. I then tell her that no way would or could I afford to pay the quotes $5,000.

Of course she will talk to her supervisor to see if she can get me a deal. Now I'm thinking I should get out of here, the hold place seem to be cloak and dagger by now, there appear to be no one else in the hold building now. I'm sitting waiting for her to return to with an answer what in this small room with no noise at all. I arrived at 7:00 and it is getting to be late and she want take no for an answer. (I'm saying lady I can't afford this just show me the way out of this building). The room is small and the air conditioning is freezing me and after more talking, "do you have a charge card you could use, do you have a checking account and we can start the payment at a later." All geared to wear you down. They are very professional sales people. They use young business looking women that you could identify with being on the dating scene.

The minute I got to my car I realized that I had been scammed. I call my credit card company to stop the charges and was told that they couldn't reverse the charge. I then looked on the internet an found the charges of fraud against the company. I had never been contacted by Two Of Us for a date. I received an email a month after I sign contact in June 3, 2010 to say that they haven't forgotten me, that they were still looking for someone that was suited to my profile. They never lived up to they contract that they would find a suitable date.

After reading the contract loop holes, I felt that getting my $1,200 would never happen. Company like this scam you, change names and move on. I am now afraid that I gave them so much personal information that I also made it possible for identity thief from them. I am constantly checking for charges on my credit . I am still paying the charges for the scam.

This is the worst company ever. They are a complete scam and do not deliver the services they say they do.

10) They claim to have an 80% success rate. That also is a crock of **. Based on conversations I have had with the men they matched me with, not one was satisfied with the service and not one had a long-term relationship with anyone they met from this service. I have not met one satisfied customer.

The consequences was a huge loss of money and I can't help but feel ashamed in letting them scam me. Two Of Us really needs to be shut down and a class action suit should be made to get them to stop what they are doing and to give some of the money back that they have stolen.

I saw the advertisement on one of my match making web sites and filled out the form. I was called immediately by Cori and was asked to come in for an interview. Cori told me that there weren't many men in my age category but she thought I was great and would be able to find someone. I had to come back for another interview and that is when I signed the agreement and gave them $3000. I received an e-mail about a gentleman older than I asked for, who lived in Vero Beach. I spoke to him that day and he never received any information about me but asked me about myself. He told me he was never coming down to Palm Beach again and had told the company not to send any more women from there. He was not very nice about it. I received a call that a sale was on and if I gave them all the money now I would get $500 back, so I did. I sent them another $2000 or more.

I then received a call from an older man, 77 to be exact, who wanted to talk to me. I was busy at the time but when I received the information about this man, I realized that he was way too old. He sounded old and I didn't want to call him back. I had explained to Cori that I wanted a man younger than that. They called me and asked if they could change my age. They asked me what I would be comfortable with and I told them 60. I then thought that it would be wrong for them to lie about my age so I wrote to them and asked them to not state any age.

I never heard from them again. I wrote many emails asking for my money back and also a phone call but never received one. My friend sent them a letter about mediation and I heard from the customer service asking me what it was about. They were lying then and now they are gone. Moved on and took the business elsewhere. I am a senior and think I was taken advantage of by this company. I would like to have a class action suit against them. I lost over $5,000 and was very upset and distressed. This is money I needed to live on but thought I could find a good man to come into my life.

I responded to an add online for 'Mature Singles'. After a brief form requesting only my name phone number and email, I was called several times by 'Susie'. She was sweet and empathetic and knew that their services would be perfect for me. I asked several times how much the services cost and she would only say that my personal matchmaker would let me know when I met with her. After months of calls from Susie, I finally gave in and made an appointment to meet my personal matchmaker in Encino. I was told to bring an ID and 2 credit cards.

I arrived to my appointment and the receptionist said Monick was still with a client and put me in a room with an album of success stories to 'Together' and 'Great Expectations' in addition to those addressed to 'Two of Us'. About 30-45min later and being transferred to 3 different offices and being asked to fill out their 'profile' questionnaires, a form about financial info I get to meet the 'Great and powerful Oz', Monick. Monick compliments me on my hair, how young I look for my age, how ** and cute I am (of course I am) and how confident and ** I carry myself. She asked me about my dating life since the divorce and sized up my desperation.

After we talk for about a half hour, she gets excited and says she is thinking of someone who is perfect for me. In fact she says she knows three or four who are perfect but she's thinking Mark is the one. Excitedly she calls him and tells him how wonderful I am and says he says 'Hi' and continues to ask him if he'd like to meet me. she says 'he's so excited and wants to meet me right away, but is at work and would like to call back when he has privacy to talk. She proceeds to show me the 80,000.00 plan and I just about faint and tell her I was nowhere near 80k desperate enough to do that. She says she has another plan that's only 40k. I still say no when the phone rings again and She says it's Mark and he wants to meet half way between our homes in Calabasas at a Seafood place a week from today, next Tuesday.

She proceeds to give him my cell number. Then she says Mark said 'Don't worry about the price, I'm worth it'. I again told her I was not prepared financially to do that. She said I deserved to do something good for me. I needed her to find me a man that would pay for vacations and dinners and nice gifts. I still say no. She gets a text that she shows me and it says Please ask Christine if she likes flowers. She tells me she personally knows that Mark would be offended if I tried to pay for anything. Still I protest that it is too much. She said she was going to get in trouble if I didn't sign up because Mark already had my number. She called her 'manager' to figure out what to do.

Her manager suggested I might be given the student discount at only 25,000.00. I could put a 2000 deposit down and have the rest to them in 7 days. I felt bad that I had put her in a bad position by allowing her to give Mark my number. So I did as I was told and put a deposit of 2,000.00 down and they took a credit ticket and swiped my card and made me sign then so that I didn't have to come back in they would just run the card in 7 days. She told me not to tell anybody about how much I had spent, my friends would always be negative. She also told me that I could be canceled outright without any refund if I even discussed with my dates how much the service was. That was a rule.

When I got home and came to my senses, I immediately tried calling her to cancel the service. I left a message on the number I was given stating that I needed her to cancel the membership right away and return my deposit. I did not get a call back until the Tuesday I was supposed to meet Mark. Mind you I don't have a number or even a location just his name. I tell her that I called her to cancel the service and she said It was non cancellable. Thinking I had no choice, I met Mark who lived near Northridge.

The date, I asked him questions about the service and he was hesitant about answering them. He was nowhere near anything I had asked for, but we saw each other several more time ad I finally came right out and asked how much he paid. He told me his story of how Monick conned him and when he spoke about it to his date, Monick called to scold him and warn him of the rules. I finally got it out of him that he had paid 8000.00. How was that right if I had to pay 25,000.00? For the same service? We never saw each other again and I cancelled my card before they had a chance to charge the 23,000.00. I had called Monick and Susie so often to cancel and never got a response. But when my credit card didn't go through, I got several calls from Monick stating she worked so hard getting me matches and what I did was illegal and that I would be prosecuted. I next got an email from someone claiming to be a lawyer for Two of us.

I never responded to then and tried getting my deposit back to no avail. After the first date with Mark, I was sent two other matches. I spoke to both about the unscrupulous business tactics at Two of Us and one also had a similar story about Monick and the people in the office taking advantage of the vulnerable people that we are just trying to find a mate. I have never been able to recover any of the moneys paid to Two of us for their Illegitimate and nonexistent services. Two of the 3 matches I was sent via email have tried to fight their credit card charges but have not been successful.

Two of Us came to find me through a popup. I filled out a brief form, name, email address and phone number and not too long after I got a phone call. We set up an appointment for the next week and that's where I met Monick, the membership counselor. The first thing they had me do was fill out forms of a financial nature, do you have a car, what kind of car do you have, do you own a house, do you have credit cards, etc. She often left the room and left me sitting there for 15 minutes at a time and at one point I was moved from one room to another. She'd have me look at notebooks filled with successful dating stories. Monick then came back asking questions of a personal nature, finding out that I was a widow after 30 years of marriage, that after 11 months had started dating, and had a bad experience. What I didn't realize at the time was she was gathering information to find out how vulnerable I was. At this point I still didn't know how much their dating service was.

Finally she and a coworker came in and Monick says to her you know who I'm gonna match her with, and she says I'm gonna match her with Tom. She tells me a little bit about him, and then she actually calls him and talks to him about matching us, and then she puts him on the phone to talk to me. When she takes the phone back she talks to him for a little longer and then, she hits me with so do you wanna go out with him, we have a date set up for you, but you can't go out with him unless you join, and she goes on and on. Still not knowing how much the service was I caved and said yes. Well she gets off the phone and she pulls out this laminated piece of paper showing a price of $35,000.00, and I was stunned. I told Monick this is a lot of money, isn't there something less expensive, to which she told me no. This is a lifelong membership, and by the way Tom bought an $80,000.00 membership.

I kept telling her, you know this is a new car, I could get my eyes fixed, it's a vacation, I could do a lot of things with $35,000.00. So she left the room and when she comes back she has her phone out, oh look at the text message I got from Tom, he's saying thank you so much and she lets me read this text from him. And she kept telling me you need to do this for yourself, just and she left the room again and again she came back with a second text message longer than the first from Tom how excited he was and on and on all the while telling me how I needed to do this for myself, that I deserve this for myself. And then I made the biggest and stupidest mistake of my life and signed the papers.

I went to lunch with Tom and he wasn't cracked up to be all that, and I figured it out that she had lied to me about a few things. After that I was given two referrals and neither of them called me. When I called Melissa at Two of Us, to find out what was going on, she told me she'd call them, I waited another week and they still hadn't called. Then I was sent a third referral. Besides not being my type, although he was nice, the man was over the age I requested and our date consisted of us sitting at an empty restaurant at the empty bar while he downed two whiskies, I had a light drink, and eating peanuts, and I'm thinking oh my god is this what I paid $35,000.00 for. Right after that when Melissa called for another referral I told her that I wasn't happy with the last referral, that he was over the age I requested, and she told me that would not count as a date. I also told her that I had recently met someone and I didn't want any more referrals from them, and she asked if I wanted to put on hold which is what I did.

After that I started looking on the Internet for Two of Us and I felt sick at what I found. There were other women complaining about this service only they were upset because they'd lost $5,000.00, $4,000.00 and here I had lost $35,000.00, only one month after me a lady in my same age group, paid $5,000.00, why was I charged $35,000.00. At first I was really embarrassed and after a few months I got up the nerve to call Monick. The first time I called she told me she was sick, to call Nancy Dubrow, which I did. She claimed she had to look at my contract and she would call me back. A week later when she didn't call me back (although she told BBB that she did) I called and left a voice mail. I then called Monick again told her who I was and she said "do you have a membership? Do I know you? I'm with family now can I call you back." Of course she never called back. My next step was to file a complaint with the BBB, and Two of Us responded that they gave me four dates and that I have no basis to be relieved of my contractual obligation and her request for a refund is denied. They denied me a refund a second time after I rebutted their first response. They responded back that I have 40 months of hold time (are they out of their mind) and that I have a sellable membership. First of all I'm not a salesperson and to sell my membership it means I would have to rip someone off just like Two of Us ripped me off.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all own a little piece of this business, charge whatever you like to charge, you don't have to deliver anything, and then say sorry, you gave it to me and I'm not giving it back. Call me crazy but there seems to be something very wrong with this. All I want is my money back and if I have to take them to court then so be it.

I was "interviewed" for over 3 hours with hard-core sales tactics. I was overpromised and they underdelivered. I have repeatedly left voice mails and emails asking to speak with Jody and have not had any response. I have asked for my money back, and no response. I recently was laid off, and I need this money. Not to mention, they completely scammed me into this. I need this money. I also have been subjected to hours of wasted time. I cannot subject myself to this degradation any longer.

I had an appointment with Joyce and we sat for about an hour and a half. She took my picture and then signed a contract. On the way home, I thought about it and decided not to go through with it. I called the bank to stop payment on the check I left her and then I called them back. I got Kathy on the phone and she told me I had no business stopping payment on the check and it was illegal! Illegal? Hey Kathy, banks stop payments on checks every day. They make money on it! I spoke to her and told her that I thought about it and at that time, I couldn't afford it.

I decided to stay and I got nothing but men that were nothing like I was looking for, the total opposite of what I was looking for. I wrote them a letter asking for half of my refund because they set me up with men that were not for me. Joyce even asked me what kind of man I was looking for and I told her. I got the total opposite!

I will see an attorney about this because all they want is your money and they don't give a *** about you. They are stealing our money. I wonder if either of them are related to Bernie Madoff. They have the same business ethics as him. I will get justice here. Something needs to be done about this company. They can't keep doing this to people.

The sales approach is among the highest pressure, unethical type and cost me $5000. They make car salesmen look like amateurs. I walked in at 6 and didn't leave until after 10:30 pm. 4.5 hours of hardcore high pressure sales. By the way, when I bought my Ford Explorer the sales team kept me after hours until I signed the contract. When Ford's corporate offices were informed by me, the contract was canceled and all monies refunded. They ought to do the same.

Anyhow, part of the selling approach was their refund policy. I was told that I could "easily cancel for a full refund within 3 days", so I signed the contract to get out of the offices after 4.5 hours of brutal pressure. I was exhausted. While there, I advised them of a very humiliating medical problem. They recommend I conceal that info and recommended I keep the medical box checked a "good" referred to my health status. Later, they stated they would change my personality testing results so that I could be matched up with a larger number of prospective partners, which is not why a person buys a personal matchmaking service to begin with.

I called to cancel on the third day. Although they had stated that I could easily cancel within 3 days from the date of the sale, they now told me I couldn't cancel by phone or fax and that I had to come into the Westwood office within a couple of hours in person to cancel. I live and work in Valenica and couldn't get to the Westwood offices within that short time. I asked if there were any other alternatives (fax, email, etc.) and they said, "No, it has to be in person only." At the time, they did not inform me that I could have sent a telegram or used Western Union which is stated in small print on the contract. Instead, they offered extra time and extra matches, which were never substantiated in writing. Not that I cared, as I intended to find a way out of the contract--by contacting Visa and initiating a dispute.

I immediately asked that they freeze the services--which is an option typically used to stop the contract clock if you are dating someone they match you with. I put services into freeze, having been provided with no services (obviously). The reason that I put it into a 'freeze' is that I thought that I would simply reverse the charge with my Visa company instead getting my money back. My Visa processor said they couldn't reverse it due to the specifics of how the contract was written. The Visa processor also stated they had many problems with this vendor nationwide and it would be unlikely I would not win the chargeback dispute as they had tried before, so they would not do a chargeback for me. Again, I just couldn't face dating someone they introduced me to with the medical problems I advised the salesperson I was experiencing. It was just too humiliating.

I left messages; none were returned. In fact, I have left multiple messages for both the salesperson Jody B. (who is still there) and the customer service manager Nancy ** who can authorize refunds. It has now been 2 years. I have received no services whatsoever, not a phone call, nothing. No returned calls. I have filed a complaint with the BBB. The BBB also stated they have a horrible rating and that they have had many complaints.

I am asking for a refund as I have been provided absolutely no services, was lied to about the cancellation policy twice, was advised to lie on my application about my health status, and because they also admitted to changing my test results used for making appropriate matches. To date no phone calls have been returned. The high pressure sales tactics are mind blowing. The whole process with these people has been disgusting.

With all the media hype around dating reality TV, something or someone ought to "out" this company for the rip off artists and liars they are. I can find a far better way to spend $5000. Can you? They charged my credit card $5000.00 in February 2008. They provided absolutely no services. They have refused to return multiple phone calls.

Well, no one called but one guy who I had coffee with who had hit me up on Match.com 20 times. I never responded, he was to old and short and ugly and could not pay for coffee. This was after 2 months of their "supposed service" They have no idea who is who and who may match. No other calls.

When I requested a refund of $1,000.00 Melissa said "Stop living in the past" our company policies have changed and then proceed to ask me if I want to date a guy in Newbury Park which is an armpit. I would not even get out of my car in this area. They are frauds and I am sure they will have another name change soon after I file a law suit against them. It is principle, I don't like being scammed. If there are any other people that want to join a Class Action suit against them please contact me. All this company is after in your check book, they have no clue as to match people. As there office to sign you up is in Westwood and there office is in the Valley. They have no clue who you are nor what you are looking for.

I joined Two of Us in July 2009, reluctantly after three hours under pressure in the Colts Neck, NJ office. I told the lady I only receive child support and was a student and waitress making a few hundred dollars a month. I told her I needed time to think about it and wasn't feeling well, it was late, hot and I hadn't eaten. I also informed her I was a divorced domestic violence victim, which she played on during the interview. I received a match about 3-4 weeks later with a man who lived over 50 miles away. I called and told them that they had promised that the matches would be local and at the most 50 miles.

So they sent me another match a few weeks later with a man who had no time to date and was very unhappy with their services as well. I tried to stop paying and was harassed by Monterey Financial everyday until I gave them a new credit card. I have only received one other match to a man who had no kids and wasn't really interested in having them either. He also spoke like he was uneducated and a wanted me to meet him at a place to go dancing, where they had no food or drinks. I am unable to pay these people and especially for nothing. I gave them $500 up front and $137 a month since August. I have sent e-mails and only had one returned phone call which the lady said, ""We don't call you unless we have a good match for you." Meanwhile during the interview, I was told I would be a great match and have dates lined up around 2-4 weeks apart. This company is a scam. Please help!

I was supposed to go to those scammers and filthy people tomorrow when I decided to review their names on the internet. To make this short, I had the same experience before with another scam dating service called "Great Expectations". And take it from me, you won't get any normal expectation with those manipulative guys and I'm sure you won't even find the two of you (us).

"There's no written procedure or solid basis on how much someone should pay, which is a proof that you can or someone can get the same service for different price or pay, and which is true and fact" so I asked the American Express and Great Expectations in my dispute this question. Show me in the contract or in any of your written document how much I should pay and that what I already paid is completely different than what I've been originally asked to pay. This means that some others might pay less or more.

The good news is I got all my money back even the $500 for the pictures. Those cheap, filthy, manipulative workers in Great Expectations, Two of Us, and all other names should be ashamed of themselves and the money they got out of poor, respectable, professional males and females that they only have good intentions to find a partner in their life. How come those guys think or feel any kind of satisfaction when they go to sleep every night while they rip off people every day?

Not only that but their salaries of doing that is more than any of us. They can afford to buy very expensive cars that you will find when you go park your car in the parking lot before they ask you for your driving license and major credit card. I wish I (or someone) can start a dating service that is cheap and only with a good intention to match professionals who gave up. There are scams everywhere nowadays.

Two of Us is a very manipulative and deceptive dating service. I was promised referrals to wonderful men. I have met 3 men and they were nothing like my requests.

I signed up and then called Monick as soon as I got home to cancel my membership. She said there were no cancellations and that was that. I was devastated and told her I wouldn't meet Mike...she was abusive and I ended the call.

I know I am out the money and I'm not sure if Monick did anything illegal, but othere people should be VERY aware of the type of Company The Two of Us is.

Oh, each gentleman I met felt they had been conned also, but were too embarrassed to file a complaint.

Spent alot of money for nothing!I did not receive one decent individual for a date. I was promised professional individuals that met my criteria. Supposedly they checked everyone out. They never even came close to what I had asked for in my file. They sent me all individuals that did not ever meet my age requirement. They even put on a little show for me when I went to sign up. She said she had to take a call from one her clients. She came back in the office and said "Oh, my client just told me that she just go engaged." They were very manipulative sales people. I was also told they had a special person in mind for me. All lies!!! They would do anything to have another sucker sign up. I know I can't get my money back but want others to know: Stay Away From Two Of Us! Big Scam!

I'm out $3,000 TWO

I had been questioned about a past relationship & told Monick that I had left because I wanted a financially equal partner. She showed me a foto, even though their policy is not to show foto. Monick supposedly called "Mike" to tell him about me in my presence and then continued to pressure me even though I was obviously uncomfortable & unable to afford that amount of money. The possibility of finding a partner completely overrode my common sense and gut feeling. I let them charge my credit card & then signed a contract but was repeatedly distracted every time I tried to read what I was signing. I was told there were no cancellations & that Mike would be calling me.

I was then told I would have to drive back to their office to process the refund on my credit card, which I did the following Saturday. I was immediately asked to sign a contract that stated that if I went on a date with John, I would have to pay the full $3885 to the company! (forgot to mention I was told to NEVER tell anyone how much I had paid!) I refused to sign & demanded my money back. after many accusations from Monick about how I was trying to use the service without paying, my credit card was refunded & "John" was called in my presence to say I was in the office cancelling my membership & neither of us was allowed to contact the other.

Upon returning home there were lenghty messages both on my cell & home phone from "John"(although I had asked Monick to only give out my cell #) when I returned from meeting saying how he was sorry he hadn't called & really wanted to meet me. I texted him to say sorry I would have loved to meet him but couldn't handle it financially. Five minutes later I got a FWD text from Monick saying he told her I texted him & would love to meet me if I rejoined.

I suffered emotional anguish at being manipulated where I was obviously quite vulnerable and while I can't find anything Two of US did legally wrong, I just want to warn others who might be vulnerable. I was also hesitant to write this complaint as I was afraid of some legal action against me for texting "John" after receiving a refund.

I joined the matchmaking service..Hah.. In late NOw..I'm not sure of the date...I received I notice of a match...He turned out to be in a steady relationship at the time..After making a call to a Janelle in an office in So. Jersey I was told she was out due to any illness...and then when she came back I would hear from her...

After waiting awhile I called and did get her on the phone to be told the group of matchmakers were working on my file; I have not heard from them since the start of Jan... I feel like a fool that I did give them money...At my age I should have known better...But I'm mad too. I have not had I match or date... I know I won't get my money back but I hope they can be shut down or aduited..

This is a dating service. I went to their offices on December 23rd and spoke with Joyce M. She used high presssure sales techniques to get me to sign a contract for $3000, despite my better judgement. When I called the following day and said I wanted to cancel, Kathy said there were no refunds. This was not mentioned during the sale. I was unable to follow up immediately as I was leaving town for the holidays.

Upon my return on January 5th I called Kathy and told her that my wife and I had indeed decided to try to work things out, that I was not interested in dating, and that I wanted a refund. Again she refused and told me to put my request in writing, which I did. I sent the letter the following day. Two weeks later I received a written refusal. I have since done the research I should have done before I signed a contract and have found out that this organization, formerly known as The Right One, has been the subject of numerous complaints for high pressure sales tactics, high fees, and extremely poor service.

I am out $3,000.
