$3,000 Paid – Service Not Delivered – Reported to Credit Bureau After Chargeback
I signed up with The Matchmaking Company in Princeton, NJ in March 2025 and paid $3,000 for their services. Their materials state that introductions generally occur within 3–10 business days after processing.
I submitted all requested information promptly. By the 11th business day, no introduction had been made and no meaningful progress update was provided. Based on the stated timeframe, I requested cancellation and a refund.
After I requested cancellation, I was presented with a match. The proposed first meeting was described as a four‑hour fine dining dinner costing up to $150 per person. Based on the communication, I understood that I would be expected to cover at least half, if not the full expense. This did not align with what I had previously been told — that initial meetings are typically simple, such as coffee or lunch — so I was not comfortable proceeding.
In subsequent email communication, a company representative stated they would never introduce a client “to bait them” and offered to speak further. However, the company ultimately declined to issue a refund.
I disputed the charge with American Express and provided documentation. After review, American Express reversed the charge.
According to my credit report, the account was first reported to credit bureaus on December 12, 2025, and later updated on March 18, 2026. I formally dispute that I owe this balance, as I do not believe the agreed-upon timeline was met.
Prospective clients should carefully review the contract terms, understand the cancellation policy, and document all timelines.
This was my experience.

Donna, thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that this was your experience.
Our timelines for introductions are general guidelines, as matchmaking depends on mutual compatibility, availability, and coordination between both individuals. While we aim to meet those timeframes, there are instances where identifying a mutually suitable introduction may take slightly longer.
Regarding the introduction presented, we want to clarify that we do not “bait” clients. The introduction offered was based on compatibility and availability at that time. The format and details of a first meeting are typically coordinated between both individuals, and we generally encourage simple, low-pressure initial meetings.
We also want to note that all membership terms, including timelines, billing, and dispute processes, are outlined in the signed agreement prior to enrollment.
Because this matter involves specific account and billing details, it is not appropriate to address those fully in a public forum. Our team remains available to discuss this directly and work toward resolution through the appropriate channels.

Fraudulent company!
If I could give this company no stars I would! This company is fraudulent! They take people’s money, and then do not deliver what they promise. They prey on people’s loneliness, and “ suck” them in by pretending to offer a great service. Customer service is non existent. If you want to flush money down the drain, then they will help you do it! Taking a substantial amount of money from you while selling the promise of compatible matches that the company is unable to deliver raises serious concerns about exploitation and harassment!
In my opinion, this reflects a deeply misleading and exploitative business practice. They deliberately mislead clients and operate unethically and dishonestly, assuming that once a contract is signed, it gives them the right to take payment without delivering the promised services. The company’s responses to reviews appear to be automated and repeatedly reference vague “next steps,” yet those steps are never clearly defined. At this point, the only meaningful next steps would be either providing a genuinely compatible match that meets the stated criteria or issuing a refund. This company appears to care more about collecting money than protecting or respecting their clients—especially women. There was zero accountability, no empathy, and no effort to resolve the situation in a fair or ethical way.
I strongly urge anyone considering this service to think twice. If you are looking for a safe, respectful, and supportive experience, this is not the place. My experience left me feeling deceived, manipulated, and deeply disrespected. No one should have to go through something like this and be treated as though it doesn’t matter.

Michele, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience.
We strongly disagree with the characterization of our company as fraudulent. Our intention is always to provide a professional, respectful, and good-faith matchmaking service, and all program details, expectations, and terms are clearly outlined in the membership agreement prior to enrollment.
Matchmaking is a highly personalized and compatibility-driven process that depends on mutual interest, availability, and alignment from both individuals. While we strive to meet client preferences as closely as possible, outcomes cannot be guaranteed in any relationship-based service.
We also want to emphasize that we take client concerns seriously and do make efforts to address feedback and communicate next steps when issues are raised. Because your review references account-specific details, we cannot address those fully in a public forum.
A member of our team will review your file and reach out directly so we can better understand your concerns and discuss how to move forward constructively.

Not what it seems
After 3 hours of interview and committing to thousands of dollars, my first encounter was a disaster. The gentleman they matched me with did not meet my criteria in any way, shape, or form. No attraction whatsoever!
Do not use this company to meet your forever person because it won't happen. They are non compliant when it comes to meeting the criteria set forth and all they want to do is fulfill their obligation that you meet 3 separate people. They don't consider compatibility, attraction, personality, common interests. If they did, my very first match would have had some matchability, but all my first experience did for me was to be discouraged and not use them any further. They could not possibly prove to me they weren't just scamming me! I made it clear to Tracy what I was looking for. I even showed her photos of the type of guy I was looking for. I was totally ignored. They promise 3 dates and they deliver 3 dates that will not suit you whatsoever!

Caryn, thank you for sharing your experience. While we understand that physical attraction is an important part of dating for many clients, it is not what a lasting, loving relationship is built on. Our service is intended for clients who are ready to build a long-term committed relationship built on shared values, lifestyle similarities, and several other compatibility factors. I want to encourage you to look beyond physical appearance and a first impression to see the positive qualities in your introduction; even if you decide not to see him again, this information will be helpful to your matchmaker when selecting your next introduction.

They don't approve or endorse massive age gap dating or dynamics. Which excludes guys like me that specifically seek this out.

Patrick, thank you for sharing your perspective.
Our process focuses on identifying mutually compatible matches based on alignment in lifestyle, values, and relationship goals from both individuals. While we work with a wide range of preferences, all introductions require mutual interest and comfort from both parties.
We understand that certain preferences may be more specific, and that can impact availability within the client base. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the very best in finding the type of connection you’re looking for.

They allow harassment
Ladies!!! RUN! Not safe!!!and they don’t care!!!!
I had an extremely UNCOMFORTABLE, HARASSING and upsetting experience with this matchmaking company. After being harassed on a date arranged through their service, I reached out expecting concern, accountability, and support. Instead, my experience was completely dismissed.
Rather than taking the situation seriously, they minimized what happened and showed no regard for my safety or well-being. I was made to feel belittled, humiliated, and completely insignificant. What’s even more shocking is that they still expected me to continue my membership and pay in full, as if nothing had happened.
This company appears to care more about collecting money than protecting or respecting their clients—especially women. There was zero accountability, no empathy, and no effort to resolve the situation in a fair or ethical way.
I strongly urge anyone considering this service to think twice. If you are looking for a safe, respectful, and supportive experience, this is not the place.

Meredith, we take concerns involving safety and personal boundaries extremely seriously, and any situation described in that manner is never dismissed or taken lightly.
At the same time, we must clarify that the characterization of your experience is not consistent with our records. Our team did respond to your outreach and made efforts to follow up and schedule time to discuss your concerns.
We do not condone harassment or inappropriate behavior under any circumstances, and any such report is reviewed internally. Our process is designed to support clients and address concerns when they arise, not ignore them.
Because this review references specific interactions and account details, we cannot address everything publicly. A member of our team will be reaching out again in an effort to connect and work through this constructively.
