Here’s a revealing review from a client of mine and pretty much sums up what I hear from everyone:
I signed up for a three month membership through e-Harmony. I was sent initially several matches. Surprisingly of the ones i was slightly interested in none responded to requests for communication. Of the few that i did make initial contact with it was terribly obvious during our first date that we had no chemistry and our personalities were oil and water!
Here comes the good part. I let my subscription expire…I didn’t cancel it. I still get matches in my email even though my account is not active! Which of course makes me think..hmmm….of all the supposed matches they sent me I wonder just how many did not have an active account????
I made a very nasty phone call to e-Harmony who coughed up a free three month extension. I have gotten total squat for matches. Again the same scenario…no communication, matches that are totally out of line. I am sure that when these three months expire then I will suddenly get a few matches worth looking at in the hopes that I will renew my membership.
I plan to call and ask “What percentage of your members report a successful long term relationship after being matched by your system?” and “What percentage of us report that your service is garbage and a waste of our money”??? I would also like to know if the commercial engagements and marriages are actors or actual matches through e-Harmony?
Regardless…it is sad and unfortunate that e-Harmony is commercializing on the fact of life that we all need and want someone special to love and cherish.
Save your time/money, avoid e-Harmony and stick with top dating sites like Match and Perfect Match.
Hi, I've been a matchmaker for many years and have experience with just about every dating site out there. I have thoroughly reviewed and rated the best
I signed up for eHarmony one year ago…only one was interested in me. One date…$259.65 down the drain (not to mention the flurry of matches they sent when my account was about to expire, still no luck)
I thought I’d try again this year…I paid the $259.65. During the month I changed computer hardware and can not remember my User name or password. I have tried several attempts and I cannot get a phone number to a LIVE person who will help me. They just send me invits via the internet to sign up again.
NO ONE to HELP, just take the money and run.
This is truly a hoax….I don’t care if I ever meet anyone after this fiasco.
Signed,

I just signed up for this site, prior to reading all of this,although my hopes are not that high anyways. I only signed up for one month just as a trial thing. Then I called customer service to make sure that they turn the auto-renewal thing off. I will see what happens. I have never done the internet dating thing before and after my month is up I will know if I ever do it again.
My hopes are definitely not high after reading these comments. I think that I just wasted $60.00 and will give match.com a try next.
I agree with all that has been said about E HArmony. I too have tried to communicate with several people who have been sent to me but I never get an answer. I feel someone should be investigating this company. It is truly a scam preying on people who would really like to meet someone.
