Fake reviews

by JasonWorth

One thing that really upsets me is when a company writes fake reviews...basically misleading people. It is obvious that T46 staff is hard at work writing their own reviews. So I thought I would give you some information

Here is what is available in the bay area

Table for Six - You have everything here. Went out of business a few months ago. back now. but still getting bad reviews. Cost $2000-$4000

Events and Adventures - New in bay. Same hard sales as T46. They are all over the US, but have consistent bad reviews. untested. Unknown events Cost $2000+ and $30+/mo

Urban Diversion - around 7 years, Mostly good reviews, a few bad. openly viewable events calendar online. mix of events, not a dating club though, more adventure/social. Limited in age group accepted. Cost $120 and $30/mo

Outdoor Adventure Club - around 10 years, pure adventure club. High quality professionally guided events, but high cost and few events. no community/not for dating. Not required to 'join', pay per event. Cost $20/mo and events

It's Just Lunch - Mixed reviews. Pure dating club with hard sales. not many 'events'. Cost $1200 for six months.

FACTS:

*Dating clubs are a little bit older (averaging in 40s and 50s) and more expensive, activity clubs are younger averaging in 30's or 40s and less expensive.

*ALL of these organizations have those that love them and those that had a bad experience. Read the bad reviews, be wary of the 5 star reviews.

*You can cancel and contract within 3 days in CA

*If there is a contract you should be able to cancel...Your phone service lets you cancel...with a fee of course.

*If there is no way to try it out be careful... would you buy a car without getting to drive it?

*If you don't get pricing over the phone or when you ask at the meeting... it is very expensive.

*Be careful of "sample events"... They are never accurate. Ask for the actual month's list of events! what you think they don't have it?? They do!

*The more you say "No.. too expensive".. the cheaper it can get.. up to 50% cheaper...but make sure you know what you are negotiating to get first.

• Pros: they provide a service
• Cons: many... just read reviews

AMAZING!!!!! not scam at all

by PaulRoberts

I decided a while ago to tell as many people as possible about my amazing experience I had with this company. Last summer, I accidentally came across their website. I read different reviews (bad and good) on a few reviews sites. I really wanted to see what all the happy customers were all raving about. Two weeks later I took a little stroll down the block and went into the office. Immediately, I felt at home. It wasn’t like the average office where everyone is running around, phones ringing, or papers and faxes being handed out from person to person. This place was very relaxed and chilled out. The staff there was very polite and it was quiet. Just from the office itself, I was ready to sign up on the spot. I spoke to all the right people and mad all the right arrangements before joining. I then met with Lynne. She took me into her office, sat me down, and said “Paul, what’s up”. Normally, when you meet a stranger who expects you to tell you entire life story, they usually start by saying “so tell me a little about yourself”. I got the feeling for what she said that she wasn’t a fake. That she only interested in making money. About three hours later, the interview came to an end. Lynne and I said goodbye and I went home. All though I accepted that nothing was going to happen overnight, I had a feeling it was going to happen much quicker than usual.A few days later, Lynne called my cell and told me all about the next six person date. She had already contacted five other singles and was working on setting all of us up on a dinner date. I was really impressed at how fast she worked. With no hesitation, I told her “I’m in”. The dinner was very nice. Lynne chose the perfect restaurant, a nice sit down Mexican place with a very warm feeling and a relaxing vibe. The staff was nice and the food was good. But the best part, were my table mates. We all got along very well and were all very alike. I didn’t meet any girls that were suitable for marriage, but I had an amazing time and was very excited to see what Lynne would do next.

I told Lynne about my night the next day and started working on the next date. Another week went by when I received an e-mail from her. I called her back and finalized another date. As before, the date was at very relaxing place. This time it was Chinese. The people at my table were a lot of fun and the food was good. Basically, this date was exactly like the last one except one thing. I met someone perfect. Someone so perfect that I got the chills the first time I looked at. Her name was Kelly and I knew there was something about her. I didn’t know what, but I knew there was something. The whole night, we all talked and laughed together. It was nice to be in a crowd of other singles with the same likes and dislikes. There wasn’t any tension or shyness on anyone’s part. Ok, I know this part is hard to believe but I kid you not, later on THAT SAME NIGHT Lynne called me and told me that Kelly had already called her about me. Apparently she really liked me and wants a personal date with me. I was so happy that I felt like screaming at the top of my lungs while jumping around. The second date happened about three weeks later. It took a while because my boss at work gave me a ton of work to do which took up most of my free time. The wait finally ended when we went to a really nice place. We really connected and I knew there was going to another date. There WAS another date. Actually, there were seven more till we finally agreed that we were able to continue on without Lynne. Although we still kept Lynne posted on our progress we became very serious. Eventually we got engaged. The wedding is in six weeks and the credit all goes to Lynne and the rest of the staff.

FRAUD!!!!!

by jamesbutler

Read the 'positive' ratings carefully. They all read as fake for a reason. They ARE fake: written by the company itself.

I LOVE the last one,"Ever since I joined I am much happier than before." You have GOT to be kidding me. Has any person EVER written a line like that in a real review?? I suppose "Katherine29"s teeth are whiter too. This organization is full of lying manipulative con artists.

Look at the facts: their business rating as mentioned by another reviewer. This rating is not a mistake.

Don't walk, RUN away from these people.

• Pros: maybe the owners will go to jail
• Cons: It's a fraud
