I was having trouble with getting women to actually set a date on the online apps. This is taken care of by the staff especially Patricia at It's Just Lunch. They are like your Hitch in the movie. Give it a try.
Thanks Steve! We are here to take all of the work out of the dating process for you! We appreciate your business!

I joined It's Just Lunch in Nashville. Before joining I had two conversations with Diane, the sales agent, in March 2021. She promised me that I would have 24 dates in 12 months, unless I decided to voluntarily put my account on suspension to date the same person. I was ok with that because ideally I'd rather date the same person in a relationship than date 24 different women. I specifically asked Diane if they had enough single women in my age range (53), and she said they did. As it turns out, they apparently don't.
Now almost a year later, I've only had seven dates. The first three dates were within two weeks of each other, as promised. Then it became a month between dates. Then two months. Now I'm waiting three months between dates. I believe they have ran out of options for me. I have never rejected any women they sent me (which counts against your numbers) and I have never put my account on a suspension. Yet I have to wait months in between dates.
In the contract it states if they can't assist you you will be eligible for a pro-rated refund. When I asked my matchmaker about this I was told I "wasn't eligible." Why? I wasn't given a clear reason. They don't want to provide me the dates as promised, but they don't want to allow me to have the pro-rated refund either. When I asked about only having seven dates in 11 months, they said I was "guaranteed" to get 24 dates, even if it took several years. This seems ridiculous and unfair. If I had known that beforehand I wouldn't have signed up. I don't want to have to wait three or four or 10 years to have 24 dates in this service. My last date was Jan. 21, almost two months ago. Before that I had one in mid-October, that was a three month wait. I believe they should provide the dates as promised, in a two-week interval, or provide the pro-rated refund.
Hi Kenneth, thank you for taking the time to address your concerns. Our Client Care Manager and you spoke on March 10th and we are excited to move forward. Your matchmaker is hard at work on your next date and we look forward to our continued relationship. Thank you!

If I could give this company and its service a 0 rating I would! I signed up and paid a very large sum of money during a promotional time for It's Just Lunch at the start of the pandemic May of 2020, for a guaranteed 5 dates or 5 months whichever comes last. I did not want to participate in the Zoom option dating, so they were kind enough to put my account on hold for a while. By December 2020 I had not heard any news about dates or even about the company's policy changes/updates with regards to COVID and all of the lockdowns.
I was growing frustrated to say the least. I had reached out to my matchmaker several times and got no response, so I finally reached out the person who did my initial entrance interview (she was not a matchmaker but someone in administration for IJL), she connected me with another administrator who called me and we were able to sort out some of the issues I was having, which included the lack of communication and no dates (all which were cause by an error on their end). I was assigned to a new matchmaker and informed things would get better. For a while they did, she presented a date option which I graciously declined as I did not find him slightly attractive and some of his values and other hobbies were off putting to me. She then presented me with an option that I said yes to but he decided to go in a different direction (July 2021).
I finally got around to going on a date and it was okay, not perfect but at least getting what I was guaranteed and PAID for (date was Aug of 2021). After that date, I did not hear from anyone for several months, yet again until someone new called me and gave me another date option. This option was promising and I finally went on my second date, again good but nothing spectacular (which I was okay with, that's what dating is). After that date (early December 2021) I did not hear from anyone until February 2022, when yet again another new matchmaker who I had never talked to or given any information to about my preferences called me with a date option. This option was so far beyond my preference list that I was frustrated, I turned down this option.
I was then contacted on 3/8/2022, with what sounded like another date option but was then informed that my account had expired.... WHAT! I had had 2 in person dates and turned down a few options that I was interested in or attracted to and would have wasted time and a date option for.... I was informed by Marsha during that conversation that the 3 dates I turned down were counted into my 5 date total!!!! I was also informed that according to their records I had actually gone on 3 dates (1 Zoom date in 2020 and the 2 in person dates in 2021), I NEVER participated in a Zoom date as I said before I knew I did not want to do that and was put on hold and actually never contacted from May of 2020 (when I signed up and paid) until the end of December 2020!
This company and what it "offers" is such a scam! They charge an INSANE amount of money for what they call personalized matchmaking (all of my matchmaking options were nowhere near what I had expressed I was looking for) and they don't deliver! They then tried to blame me for all the issues, I mean I know I turned down a few date options but I knew I only had 5 guaranteed dates and I didn't want to waste them on options that I was very clearly NOT interested in. NEVER ONCE was I ever told that if I turned down an option that that counted as a date! WASTE of MONEY, TIME and ENERGY!!!! I would NEVER EVER EVER recommend It's Just Lunch or their services to ANYONE, not even an enemy! I WAS SCAMMED completely! Promised so much and given nothing in return!

I joined and my contract was 1 year and # of dates. No fast forward two years later....Also between this I have had 5 MM because of turn over or just inadequate service. I tried to get out of my contract, but that is not an option. Overall the MM don't listen and know their clients too well to match. It's like he has legs, and can read I will match you all... Also the a few of the folks I was paired with were alarming. One person had lied about having a child and I later found out and another....I won't go there... I totally do feel like I wasted some money, but hey it is what it is.

Although I think IJL is very pricey, I like the individual attention and privacy that it ensures. Once you find a consultant that you click with and who takes a personal interest in you, this organization probably can't be beat. However, that did not happen immediately and I would suggest that IJL try to improve in that department.

I was assigned to my matchmaker - Ms. Debra. When I had a virtual meeting with her, I knew that I could find someone sooner or later because when she introduced herself by saying that she was a good matchmaker for majority of her friends even before she started working at IJL. I had a few meetings so far; These were new learning curves for me.
Some restaurants were badly organized. However, with all the emotional support and encouragement from Debra, I do have a faith that I can find someone soon. One time Debra had to call me and the restaurant several times when I was waiting for my match for 30 min due to the restaurant staff's mistake and inconsiderate attitude. Anyway, it all worked out at the end. I was a bit upset and angry, but when I had a review session with her after the meeting, she explained that some restaurants were short-staffed under the pandemic and she made me calm down. Debra organized next match for me, and I am so excited to explore.
We appreciate the open and honest feedback about the process and will share it with our team. Debra is here for you every step of the way, as is the entire IJL team.

I am incredibly disappointed in how things are going with IJL. At almost 4 months I have had one date. That one date was really bad. The gentleman did not have one single attribute that I verbalized that I was looking for during my interviews IJL. I was led me to believe that IJL has a robust database of men that fit my criteria. Two additional attempts to set up dates were attempted however I was informed that neither were available any longer. The return on my investment to date has been very poor. I have reached out to IJL directly and have not received a response.

Debra was very thorough in learning and documenting my personality traits, likes, dislikes, etc. She produced several dates with men who were compatible with me and attractive. She very accurately described these men to me making it very easy to "break the ice" and enjoy the time we spent together.

I love the idea of this dating site, but it has not gone as smoothly as I had hoped. My current matchmaker is Joel. The matchmakers all seem to be very nice, knowledgeable, and willing to listen, however, I have not had one long enough to feel comfortable with or build rapport with. I think they try to find appropriate matches for their clients and I'm always looking forward to my next date. This is definitely a longer process than I thought it would be!

I signed up for IJL in November 2021. Christi almost “golly geed” herself to death telling me how many eligible men there were in Toronto. As soon as she got my credit card, she never returned another call. When I spoke to my matchmaker, Vanessa, and asked to video meet soon, she promptly advised me she had other clients, not just me. She sent me 2 choices. The one I liked wasn’t interested. Next thing, Amy is my new matchmaker and sends me someone I know and it would have been awkward. So, that counts as a date for the month. They can then tick the box to say they fulfilled their obligation. It’s not necessary for them to think it’s not fair to client so let me find someone else.
I just spoke to Missy that empathy should be allowed in situations where matches know each other and don’t want to meet for that reason. She said, no that’s just the way it is but, hey, they really do care. She is going to speak to Amy who will now quickly flip through her binder and throw me another bone. Bottom line, it’s a stone cold business that will fulfill its contractual obligations with no real effort or human touch. You are a non-human entity that pads their coffers. It’s possible you may meet someone but you may have better luck at a classy place like a bowling alley.

Almost zero to no customer service. The only time I hear from IJL is when I voice being upset. The matches are either fake or not vetted. I paid $2k for just about nothing and have had the service for just about a full year now. I have been on one date. They do not listen. I have had several match makers and none of them care.

I have developed a great rapport with my personal match maker, Shaun. He a great listener and I feel comfortable when speaking with him. He gets to know you better after a date, so he can better fit you with the better match. I discuss with him my likes/ dislikes. Shaun is my biggest fan during this process! I have two more dates to go and I know it will only get better. Shaun lets your personality shine and be revealed when we are communicating. This is truly of value in finding the right one!

I signed a contract for It's Just Lunch. The initial video interview was supposed to be an hour. It lasted for 15 minutes and consisted of an It's Just Lunch rep. pressuring me to date older men and travel more than an hour to a different city for a date. I sent a request to terminate the day after signing a contract. I encountered a full court press pressure campaign to stay in the service including calls from the VP Julie Yarworth. After I reluctantly agreed to stay in the the contact, I learned that everything the VP had said about the service was misleading at best. They promised me great customer service. Missy, my matchmaker, has not returned any calls and in fact lied about our interactions. She left me a voicemail on 11/26 and I tried to call her because I had concerns about the matches, but she never returned my call. I spend the next week trying to get in touch with her.
On 12/8 Missy lied. She told me that she had spoken to me on the phone and that I liked and agree to the matches during our conversation. This was untrue. We never had a phone conversation about matches and we still have not. Missy has not returned a single phone call or email from me since I started the contract. I was also not pleased with the ma From 11/26 to 12/8 I have tried to contact the company. I have left voice messages and sent emails. I have asked to terminate the contract, but they will not terminate the contract. It is almost impossible to speak to a person.. They never return messages.
The service is nothing better than really expensive Tinder. If you sign up all you will get is an email with a photo and a short profile blurb of your "match". You can click yes or no. The match will be sent your picture and he/she can click yes or no. Despite what they promise, this is truly all you will get with the service. At least with a dating app you can choose where you want to meet. The first two matches they sent me, refused to meet me because they did not like my picture. If I wanted to swipe right or left on pictures, I could do that for free on a dating app. Believe me and believe the bad reviews. They are all true. FYI: For context, I am thin and fit and the IJL salesperson called me "adorable".

This service was a complete waste of time and money. They promise that they do such a thorough job of matching and then you are tossed around to multiple different matchmakers. I had to repeat my preferences to no less than 5 people. When I expressed dissatisfaction in the service absolutely nothing was done about it other than switching my matchmaker who would then switch again during the next match. Of the people I went out with, over half of them were people that I had absolutely nothing in common with, and when I asked why I was matched with them I was never given a straight answer. I just kept getting their runaround sales pitch. No one should waste their time on this service, you'll have better lunch on Tinder.

Have you heard the saying, “walk your talk?” Well, It’s Just Lunch (IJL) “talks the talk”—-they say all the right things that makes you believe they can help you with dating—-but they don't deliver. I signed on with IJL in August and here it is almost 3 months later and still no date. I have agreed to go out with every match (four thus far) they presented and…nothing. The very first match they arranged, the date was a “no show,” and it was downhill from there. During my initial two hour interview with them, they told me there was no refund. That should have been a sign. In my opinion, don’t spend your money expecting to get someone to help you with your dating because it will be money wasted.

I joined IJL during their Valentine's Day 2021 promotion. It cost almost $**. Since that time, I have been on one date! And another that was a no-show and a total waste of a valuable Sunday. I had to drive an hour for a no-show, because there was no one to contact to cancel on a Sunday. I am a "good catch", and the women they presented to me (very few, and very far between) were nothing like my parameters I have set with them. My contact at IJL kept changing and they rarely returned my calls and emails.
As luck would have it, I am now dating someone, so they put my account on "hold" for 360 days. After that, I am done with them. Therefore, the $** was a complete waste for one crappy date with a woman who lives very far from me. Oh, and the "dates" were at the same restaurant an hour away. They obviously get a kickback for using that restaurant. And it is very inconvenient and far away. I think this company should be shut down. I requested a refund in July, and they said that I wasn't entitled to one. Live and learn, but learn from my mistakes. Fortunately, I can afford to lose the money.

TERRIBLE COMPANY AND AWFUL SERVICE! Not worth spending any money on. Even if it were free, it's not worth the aggravation you'll likely experience. Their matchmakers have the equivalent maturity and professionalism of a teenager and are extremely difficult to work with. They will literally take weeks to respond to you then come back with suggestions that couldn't be more off from the guidance and details that you provided them with.
My experience with matchmaker Missy and Shaun showed that they have no personal skills and are terrible judges of character. This service set me up with one of the worst dates I've ever had in my life (literally). They couldn't have missed the mark more if they tried. They constantly suggested matches that were far outside my area (i.e. suggesting matches that were 1-2 hours driving distance from NYC when I don't own a car), then tried to justify their ** services by saying that they provided me with matches - even though those matches were outside the jurisdiction that I agreed to in my contract with them.
The final headache came when I had paused my subscription, then tried to take it off hold. I spent over 6-8 weeks trying to get in touch with someone. Numerous emails and calls went unanswered over several weeks, then I finally got a call saying that my subscription ended since my remaining 3 weeks had just been used (when I was trying to get someone to return my emails and calls). Certainly filing a complaint with the BBB for services not rendered!

Do not try this service. Their customer service is horrible, anytime there is a problem they will bounce you around to different staff so that you don't ever talk to the same people. Their contracts are well written and impossible to get out of. The dates I went on weren't necessarily bad, they could be better but that is the nature of dating, you won't have a connection with everyone. But the service was so not worth it. For several thousand dollars I expect to be treated like people are actually looking out for me. I could have gotten similar dates from free dating apps.

Ladies, let me save you time and money. This company makes all kinds of promises that they don't deliver on. In February of 2021, I paid ** with the promise of 12 dates in a year. It's been 8 months and I've been on 3 horrible dates. I haven't asked for anything out of the ordinary. I didn't put any restriction on ethnicity or location in the country. Ladies, we can do so much better on our own.
They portray the matchmaker as professional and supportive, and nothing could be farther from the truth. The first matchmaker was "out of the office" for months. She didn't return voicemails or emails, and then disappeared altogether. She set me up on 2 dates, one whom she described as a "a perfect gentleman", and he was drunk and smelled. The second matchmaker promised to call me so she and I could get to know each other. I never heard from her again. She set me up on 2 dates, one who cancelled the day of the date. The second date didn't call me after I wouldn't have sex with him that night. And I never heard from the second matchmaker again.
I've asked for my money back and was told that they have a year to fulfill that contractual agreement of 12 dates within a year. So actually they don't have to do anything they promise until the last minute of the contract. So Ladies, learn from me, they don't fulfill the promises they make or the contract they sell you. Go elsewhere, you'll be glad you did.

IJL claims to give refunds (less $500 processing fee) if they are unable to find matches for clients. However, when I tried to get a refund after low activity they bluntly refused, several times. I have been a client since February and there hasn’t been any activity on my account in three months. Since February there have been only 4 matches in 8 months.
I am requesting a full refund, however refunds are at their full discretion and they are simply denying it because they “want to continue working with me” (actual words). The contract is deliberately vague, it gives It's Just Lunch full oversight and very little responsibility or accountability to clients for finding matches. The term is for one year or 24 dates, whichever is later, this protects them potentially in perpetuity - and that is an unfair practice. A reputable, credible company would issue a full refund after not being able to provide the services under contract. I’ve been advised by two lawyers to file a complaint with Consumer Affairs so I am doing that. Please help and thank you.

She has requested on multiple occasions for a refund, and no one answers her emails or calls. I have personally wrote one of the company heads, Mike E. only to be ignored. They just want the money for very poor service. You could do much better on any other dating site. We are believing this is a scam now.

I joined It's Just Lunch last year with a pkg, I had to call get dates set up, no follow up calls to see how was the date, they set you up with associates, which are not paid members who are not looking for a relationship, just fulfill the date number give you a date 31/2 hours away in a different city and when you decline it goes against you, change of employees who are not ready to listen to you ready to pound on you, ask to speak to a member of mgmt, no one talks to you. Request them to return the call. 31/2 weeks later no call, charge thousands of dollars, do not waste your money.

My advice to others considering working with this company would be simply, do not do it! My experience with this company has been nothing short of awful. After multiple incidences of miscommunication and downright incompetence, I informed the company that I was no longer comfortable working with them and requested that my service be terminated. They quickly let me know that a refund would not be issued, stating that I had “refused services” which was complete and utter dishonesty. They also accused me of “not giving the membership or process a chance”, after I had invested $2,000 into the service and had nothing but frustration to show for it. In my opinion this company is running an elaborate scam and I would advise extreme caution in working with them lest you also want your money stolen from you.

I signed up for IJL the first of the year thinking their service would provide a more professional way to make a romantic connection. I live in St. Louis, years ago IJL had an office locally but now they are centralized in the Tampa, FL area. The sales person put on a full blown pitch, suggesting they had plenty of male singles in my area. Over the last nine months I have been matched with only three men, two of which had never married, were socially awkward and long-time IJL subscribers. Obed, my direct contact, was anything but helpful and spent little time really understanding who I was looking for. After the third failed match, he suggested another match, a doctor, then he said, after presenting him to me he was not available. I believe it was nothing more than a stall tactic because frankly they likely didn't have a pool of available single men to present.
I realize they have their business all legally sewed up, allowing professionals like myself any recourse in this unsatisfactory matchmaking service. The other thing that seems very curious is that their pricing varies greatly among clients, how can they charge such a wide range of fees for their services, given their services are to provide 12 matches over the course of the contract. I should have burned the $2K I spent on this service, what a waste of time. If you are considering this service be sure to ask for references from satisfied customers in your area. Buyer beware.

I decided to go with my better judgment and not pay the $3400 for 12 dates/6 month. That's almost $300 a date and that does not include any additional cost from food/drinks/etc. I did not think it was a good investment of my money even if I could afford it. In addition, very few of the reviews were 5 star which is what I expect if I am spending that kind of money. I let It's Just Lunch! specifically Caroline know that I was no longer interested and wished to cancel my appointment. She refused to accept this as an answer and after I canceled the appointment created a new invite with a time 30 minutes later than the previously agreed upon time without consulting with me. I found this to be very unprofessional and disrespectful. I told her no in a polite way and my justified reasons for doing so.
In addition, she continued to email me repeatedly. I finally blocked her email address only to have her leave a voicemail on my phone few days later and also have to block that number. She made several negative assumptions about my character as evidence by saying that I "was giving up on myself, an over thinker", criticizing me for spending my money on things I find more meaningful and important specifically social causes like helping the homeless which I specifically mentioned in my email as one of the reasons for declining the dating service.

I was very hesitant signing up after a bad experience with IJL in the past. The sales rep told me about 6 men in my area that did NOT exist. When the matchmaker contacted me she had no knowledge of the men I was told about, in detail by the salesperson. After numerous attempts at matching me with men outside of my parameters I finally said, "Don't worry about matching me...only call when you think there is real potential." Mike matched me with a date who basically was emotionally and financially incapable. The date was easy to get past but the communication with IJL was truly unbelievable. After many attempts at reaching my match maker Mike and his manager, here I am writing this review. No call, no email. Setting me up with someone looking for a sugar mama and then being ignored by IJL is just unbelievable in this day and age. Do NOT sign up for with this company.

In December I called IJL after seeing a friend have a professional experience. With Covid happening I thought it would be a good way to start. I spoke to a woman for over an hour when signing up who took all of my information. I signed up for 3 in person dates unlimited Zoom. However, she didn't tell me it takes 2 weeks to set up a zoom date. As well, the matchmaker assigned to you are all in the state of Florida. My girl was new and had just started. She had no idea of distance and northeast locations. I made it clear no more than an hr drive. So I declined several people living way too far away. NEVER was it said that would be counted as a date. No return phone calls, terrible service all around. And high turnover.
It was the biggest waste of money as I had 1 zoom date and 1 in person, which didn't meet my profile requirements. Afterward I asked for a call and nothing. Once I spoke to the "new" match maker she said, "Nobody told you, your membership is now expired." When I asked to speak to upper management she said, "The customer service manager will tell you the same thing." Very unprofessional. I've been in business management for over 25 yrs, this was extremely disappointing. More so as I referred a new client for them as well, never even a thank you or phone call. Highly disappointed.

When talking to them they told me the membership got me 3 dates. What they really mean is 3 "Matches". Which means they showed you 3 pictures and if you aren't interested in any of them then that's the end of your $1,000 membership. Not realizing that this is how it worked I said no to the first 2 matches and there was no reminder or heads up that I just vetoed 2/3 of my matches. Even after I said no to the 3rd match they didn't ask me if I wanted to extend my membership or if I enjoyed it. I had to reach out to them 4 months later because I hadn't heard from them.
They know it's a scam so they just want your money and that's the end of it. Completely unprofessional and entirely misleading. Even talking to them after they would refuse to admit it is 3 matches not 3 dates. Don't waste your money.

I signed up for matchmaking services through IJL. I wish I could go back in time and save myself the grief and the **. It’s been a nightmare of an experience. Not a single date, the potential “matches” met none of my specifications. Matchmakers were not interested in getting to know my desired qualities in a mate. What’s worse, I finally did get a “match” and he stood me up 20 minutes before the date was to begin. They clearly do not vet their potential matches. After I reached out about getting more appropriate matches- including ones that met at least ONE of my desired qualities and would actually attend a date- they claimed it wasn’t their problem. They then denied a refund based upon the “date” who stood me up.
Eva, the intake employee, is very kind and bubbly but from there it went downhill. I worked with Vanessa who had no concern for my desires. After the 3 month period was up, I spoke with Melissa, who was even less concerned about the results and only cared about retaining the money. I am upset with their overall treatment, lack of care, and refusal to refund the money owed back to me. As much as I want to support a woman-owned business, IJL is a pure scam. After being taken for a thousand dollars and dealing with incompetent employees who call themselves matchmakers, I will ensure I disseminate my experience to everyone considering working with this fictitious matchmaking service. Hopefully whoever is reading this decides to go with a professional service- not IJL.

My experience with IJL has been excellent so far. Before signing up with them, I had tried a few dating apps and services with little success. IJL took away the stress out of the dating process, especially for someone like me who has been out of touch with dating skills for a long time since I had a good marriage until recently. Their approach is personal and they seem to know me well enough to set me up with the right date. I would recommend IJL with confidence.

I bought a membership with IJL as a Christmas gift to myself in late November. I was tired of dating apps and thought perhaps a paid matchmaking service would provide a better option. Please don’t waste your money like I did! I have 3 complaints: IJL promises a personalized service where “your matchmaker gets to know you.” In the 2 months since they took my money, I’ve been assigned 4 matchmakers. I have spent hours repeating myself because apparently they don’t share/pass along information when they assign you a new matchmaker. They keep bouncing you from one matchmaker to another. It’s a huge waste of time in that regard.
Second, the salesperson promised me unlimited virtual dates in December & January in addition to the 6 guaranteed live-date subscription I was buying. (They sell hard on that initial call.) The virtual dates simply never happened. After the sale was made, the topic of virtual dates was never again mentioned. When I’ve asked, they’ve been very polite in brushing that off as a concern they “understand” but can’t really do anything about.
And finally, they’ll match you with anyone they deem reasonably acceptable; they don’t respect your preferences at all. Every conversation I’ve had with any of the matchmakers past the the initial salesperson call has included their employee trying to convince me that I should consider someone they’ve designated as a potential match even though that person doesn’t meet anything but my age preference. As another Pittsburgh-area reviewer on here has recently written: “It seems clear there really is not an inventory of available people to match, at least if you are a woman looking to meet a man. Save your money!”

Giving your money to It’s Just Lunch is a waste. They promise a personalized service that will introduce you to individuals that you and your consultant agree on. Instead, they count anyone who can fog a mirror as a match and count them as an introduction. I have had 4 consultants in 6 months, seems to be a huge problem keeping employees. As a result there is no real continuity or effort to actually get to know you. Each time I had a new person they presented the same potential match, happened 3 times. None of those attempts actually resulted in an introduction because he was not available yet they counted that as a qualified match. It seems clear there really is not an inventory of available people to match, at least if you are a woman looking to meet a man. Save your money!

My first virtual date was with someone who had just suffered a mental breakdown and wasn't ready to date. I live on Long Island and specified that I wanted to be matched with people on Long Island and not in the city. My next two matches were with people who lived in the city and who were not willing to come to Long Island. Finally, my last match was with someone who they claimed was in the city, but was actually living in Delaware, which shows that they do not keep updated information on current subscribers.

When I joined in April they said because of shut down I could meet people online and it wouldn’t count as one of my five dates, this was very quickly canceled. In August, I met one person who was an OK lunch date but 10 minutes into the date he said he was happy alone. We had a nice lunch but of course I didn’t hear from him again.
That was four months ago and the only prospect they called about since then was 14 years older than me which is not an acceptable age difference. I refused this date and haven’t heard back from them. I called to complain and they said they were going to get right back to me three months ago. They have my money, about $2250 CAD and there’s no way to get it back and I have only met one person.
