Works the same on any good dating site, like eHarmony, Mingle2day or Match. If you stay active and invest some time in a nice and creative profile you will meet many (intersting) people.

I'm thoroughly disappointed in this company. My husband recently passed away and my sister encouraged me to sign up with eharmony. After 20 minutes, I contacted eharmony and requested a refund and cancellation of my contract... I was definitely within the 3 day cancellation policy period.
They refused both of my requests.
Most of the matches they give you are with men who look like they're on welfare - it was a complete joke. Furthermore, 95% of the men lived over 2 hours away from me.
I contacted eharmony numerous times requesting cancellation - each time my request is denied.
I'm so disappointed in this company. Their reputation will eventually surface. I'm going to share my experience with anyone who asks or any review site I can find so others don't have to be robbed like I was.

Please don't get sucked in no matter how desperate you feel! Impossible to cancel your membership. You can't cancel online(althought the website leads you to believe you can) You have to email or write. But no one ever answers your emails and there is no phone number to call. There is absolutely no customer service. So now I have to write to California? I guess I have to send a registered letter because how else will I know if they have received it? For all I know it's a bogus address like their bogus profiles... Obviously there is no accountability.
There must be some way to warn lonely vulnerable people to avoid this site! Avoid it like the plague.

If you are here to research eHarmony BEFORE you join, consider yourself blessed! I wish I had been wise enough to do that. If I could give it a lower rating, I would!

I have been a member for a full month and have not received a single valid communication of any kind. Other than a one line question (are you interested?) from someone 4 hours away. Well beyond my geographical requirements.

I sent them 3 separate emails asking for feedback. Was there a technical problem? Did I do something wrong in completing my profile? Not even an acknowledgment.

I had several male & female friends look at my profile & they all said it was fine, normal and appropriate. I sent out numerous overtures. Nothing. I even sent one to a person living nearby & asked that he simply respond with a 'yes' if he received my message. Nothing.

And the fact that they require a 6 month MINIMUM to sign up should have been a major red flag. Their 'free communication' weekends are a complete fraud too.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE: DO NOT SIGN UP WITH EHARMONY.
I am out $240.00 with absolutely no recourse. I work on commission and this is really going to hurt.

Best of luck - considered yourself warned.

Jeffrey Wolter I would like to stop payment after my trial I have till may but I have no 1 responding if thay could look into it b nice im basicly just given these guys money

So I met someone through eHarmony and all is good. I went onto their site and shut down my account including the auto renewal portion of the billing. About 8 months later I see a charge on my Visa card for $221.00 for the next six-month fee. This is an unauthorized charge and when I called I eHarmony all I get is that the auto renewal button was not set to for (which I know is not true) and there for I was billed another fee. Watch your settings on this site, and by that I mean all the settings including the auto renew, These guys will steal your eyeballs and come back fpor the sockets.

I signed up for EHarmony being a single lady looking for a nice guy. None of the matches I received were my type, let alone lived within 5 hours of my home. I live in a city! Not a remote district!

So I ended up paying for the subscription anyways cause I signed up for it. All of a sudden months later I get a charge of $55.80 on my Visa from EHarmony. Weird since I don't use their misleading service. I call them and the lady I talked wasn't able to help me but took my information. Soon after I receive an email: Attached at the bottom! I continued to get charged 2 more payments of $55.80... a total of $167.40... over the past three months, Let alone the first $167.40 I ate for signing up(Yes I am a single mom of two kids but that's not the point)...

That's a total of $334.80 taken where I received nothing but a headache! I feel completely taken advantage of by EHarmony and they need to be stopped from their false advertising and sneaky scams!
