I posted my ad on the site and received maybe 4 matches. Two didn't work out and one responded that their prescription had run out that day and they couldn't respond back. Another was a complete scam who said she lived out of the state going to school yet wanted her " lawyer" to draw up papers for me but they was unable to show it of course. Then a couple new matches appeared and there was nothing about them written and no response when I tried to reach out to them. It came across as fake matches to keep me on the site.
Hello,
It's unfortunate that the site didn't work out for you. We are not a scam and do not post fake roommates on the site.
Roommates.com is a bulletin board service, so we cannot guarantee that users will respond to you or that there will be people using the site that are looking in the same area or for the same living situation.
Hopefully you will find a roommate soon. We wish you the best in your search.
