"The Right One" Matchmaking Service ~ Why Their Probably NOT Right for You/Your wallet!!
Dear Prospective "The Right One Match Making Service" Customer,
Please read the following story before signing up for The Right One's services. I took the time to let you know ahead of time what they are about so you don't get tricked into loosing you hard earned money or time.
At the time, I had been signing up for the various dating/matchmaking sites. One of the sites I went to was The Right One. I entered my information and went on. They called a week/week and a half later, but never left a message. They continued to called many times a day so I decided to pick up the phone. I asked Nicole, the person calling from Right One, to tell me what this was regarding. She kept asking if it was me. I stated that she should call back and leave the information on voicemail if I was important. They continued to call for several more days until I picked up the phone and asked Carole, who this was. Carole wanted to know who she was talking with. I stated it didn't matter, this phone number (702-418-3860) had been continually calling me for the past week and I wanted to know who they were. She finally told me that she was with The Right One. I told her that I was upset, and that they shouldn't run their business like that. She stated that they don't leave messages as this service is kept confidential. I though OK, that sounds reasonable.
Carole proceeded to "qualify" me for "membership" over the phone. The questions were easy and delve into every area of my life. She then stated that I sounded like a qualified candidate, but I would need to come into the office so one of their "girls" in the office could see if I was "qualified" for "membership". We set a time for the next day. Many times during this call and another reminder call the next day the ladies mentioned how one of their "girls" would be "physically meeting me" upon my arrival. As I look back over this entire situation, there was a lot of suggestive terminology used to insinuate a young, pretty, female would be embracing me with her presence when I arrived. This were the first of many sales jobs that would come my way.
The next day I came in and was met by Nicole (a different Nicole). She warmly greeted me and gave me a application and personality test to fill out She then offered me a drink. I then filled out the forms and shortly thereafter I went into a small office with a desk two chairs and romantic pictures on the walls. This meeting was suppose to last for one and a half hours, but somehow went for OVER three!! Yes, three. We went over who I was, who I was looking for, and finally what they offered in the way of services. Finally after all this, Nicole asked me how much I think this great services would cost. I stated I don' know, maybe $500. She then showed me the price list that went from $5000 to $7500. Wow, was all I could say. She stated that they were giving me their 1st interview special that discounted the introductory offer by $1000 to $4000. Needless to say, there was no way I would do this. This is when the heavy push for a sale came on. This included mind games like,"Can you really put a price on finding happiness in your one true love?" This bantering went on for 45 minutes. I kept telling Nicole that I wasn't going to decide tonight and that I wanted to think about it. She stated that she, "really didn't want me to miss out on a deal that would save me thousands of dollars". After I heard that many times, I asked how somebody that just met me could be so interested and caring to want to help me. I asked what kind of commissions she worked on. Nicole stated that they didn't, but later she stated that they earn incentives. I though really, what's the difference. She then stated that if I became a member tonight, I would save 50% off of the $4000 price which made it $2000 now. This felt like such a used car sales job. WOW!! Why would I pay thousands of dollars for a service when I could go out around town and organically meet people. Nicole had built a case (from the interview) that led her to say that these methods really hadn't worked. As she wouldn't let me decide later, I finally stated no, that I didn't want their services.
From here Nicole said that she was going to meet with her boss and have her come in to say goodbye. I felt like asking Nicole if here boss (whom I had never met) would offer me a lower price, but I kept my mouth shut. This was hard
The boss came in and went through the same spiel that Nicole did. I answered her by again saying that I wasn't going to make a decision tonight and wanted to think about it. She (name unknown) really needed my demographic in their membership and that they were willing to "give" me a membership at cost. I tried to tell her that I wasn't trying to bring down the price, but she wouldn't let me get this thought out. This was the shocking part, the boss then offered their services for $697. What??? How could this service go from $5000 to $697? What would happen to all those who paid $5000, or more? The boss then want to leave the room and stated turned over her shoulder and stated, "you do know that the price will go back up tomorrow to $5000?". that was it, I said, OK, then the answer is no. She then walked out and said, "have a nice day (sarcastically)" and I gave the same right back to her.
I then proceeded to her office and demanded my paperwork back. The boss stated that it was the property of The Right One and I couldn't have it back. I insisted and she had Nicole tear some of my paperwork in from of me. I stated that I wanted all of the paperwork, but they again denied me that so I left.
As I drove home I though how I have given them all my personal information such as my Social Security Number, address, Date of Birth, and every other thing that makes up me and my identity. I had also let Nicole take my ID and Visa Credit Card out to here bosses office so they could view "prove" my identity. They probably took a copy of it. So I turned back toward the office. I saw some of them out in the parking lot and I asked to speak to the boss again and proceeded to tell them that I wanted ALL my paperwork back. Another manager asked me why I would want that and kept trying to change the subject. I eventually told her, it didn't matter what she thought, the fact is I didn't trust The Right One anymore. At that point the original boss spoke up and said, "do I need to call the police?", and I replied, "No, I'll call the police." which I did.
The police showed up and I did get some of my paperwork back, but I didn't get it all. Again, this story is for you to know how they:
* are a hard sell,
* claim to be a "Christian" based company that really isn't
* try to entice you with terminology
o that you will have to qualify in order to be allowed into their membership
o that reflect how they will have one of their girls meet you physically upon your arrival
* will use any and ALL information to show you that your ways of meeting people don't work and that The Right One is the ONLY way to meet quality people.
My friend, do yourself a favor. Run from this company. It's a waste of your time, money, and emotions. You will be much better off without them. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I wish you the best in finding someone whom you can truly enrich their lives as much as they will yours.

Are you a Dumb A___???????????
Giving out your ss number and credit card info. I just can't feel sorry for you. Sort of like asking a vice cop where are the hookers located.

Sounds like a full-blown version of what I went through with Great Expectorations back in 2000. I hung tough, didn't give them my SSN or any other personal info... but the 2 guys who interviewed me did everything but get on their knees and beg me to buy. I wormed my way out of it by feeding them a sob story about having been laid off (which was a total lie), but they bought it and stopped the pressure. My slob casual appearance probably reinforced my act, but anyhow I got out of that place with my wallet intact.
Heh, I can't say the same for them... I managed to pinch a couple of GX's business reply envelopes that they use for sending out their dumb little questionnaires, and every so often I (or some friends around the country) send them a heavy box of junk with a copy of the envelope attached. >:-)

I had a postive experience with The Right One in NYC. Yes, they are picky and it did take several times before I found someone I really liked, but they delivered after the fourth introduction. The quality of people they have in their membership is excellent, they do a thorough background check on members and don't take everyone, which is a good thing I think. If the price was cheap I don't think they would have the caliber of people they have. After all, you get what you pay for!

I think this is hilarious! The concerned individual is right, it's a rip off! I mean DAMN, read th details of what happened to him! How does the price go from$5000 to $697? And the ones who "CLAIM" to have married though this service got royally screwed! Screwed out of about $4302... That price is hiked up over 7x's the desparate for a sale price. And why would they need to keep his personal info if he doesn't want to be a member? That's suspicious as hell! The least they could have done is shred it in his presence, then he would feel safe and their "secret application" wouldn't be shown to the world, (like somebody gives a s*** what's on there). And the last comment from the company employee just called all of their clients desparate! "*& if you are desperate enough to join something like this." That was great marketing!!! Do you mention that to any of the people who apply? Hell no! the truth would bankrupt the company, right? Just goes to show whats really going on with "something like that." If the concerned individual's complaint doesn't make you think twice, the employee's insults and opinion of the people they serve should....
Sincerely,
Someone who pays attention to detail
P.S. People who go to dating sites aren't usually deparate, just tired of the same ole routine and want to try something different.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with this post. I was considering this service but now won't bother.
And, especially if you read the reply from the "right one employee" on this board...that confirms it all...the rudeness and UNPROFESSIONAL manner in which they replied is simply unbelievable!
You would think they would have the smart business sense to do some damage control rather than reply back and call you a dumb*ss. This is such great validation of exactly what your post is about...and a great demonstration of the kind of treatment you will receive and their obvious lack of class.
These kind of services should be monitored somehow and the Right One sounds like it should be put out of business.

I joined the right one three weeks ago, because the girl I met in New York city named Jacqui was lovely. She was so passionate about the service, and she all but gauranteed me that I would meet someone. she affirmed that I am just like the other New Yorkers who are tired of the bar scene, yet attractive and professional etc... She also all but assured me that an attractive girl like myself would have tons of men in the pool from which the matchmaker would choose. So I joined but they let me postdate a check to the end of the month, which was also very nice. I was psyched. Another thing I loved about what Jacquie said is: I will be listened to, and can give my feedback so they can "tweek" what I like.
The problem came when I spoke to the matchmaker, a very unsophisticated woman: Diane, who (unline Jacqui said) resides in Massachusets. She hooked me up with a guy named Mike...who was supposedly "gorgeous with dimples" and "a body to die for" and... "in finance". I got all dolled up and met MIke and when I saw him I was kind of upset: Mike was overweight, had wet hair, no dimples, and certainlyy NOT GORGEOUS. AND...he was dressed like a slob. Lastly, he is not in finance, he works for a financially based company, doing computers and project management. It's ok though, I had a nice time.
When I called Diane to give her feedback, I was surprised that I was rushed off the phone. I called her again, and said that I'd like to meet more people but was concerned whenshe told me that she "didn't have anyone at the moment" except a guy who was... well how can I say this... 10 years older than I was looking for.
My gut feeling is that all of the sales pitch, was just that: a sales pitch. If there was only one guy to set me up with, where is the "pool of men" to choose from? I think also that there are WAY many more women than men who join, so probably the men have an advantage here.
I was ready to take a leap of faith but the one thing that really bothers me is this: It has been two weeks since my conversation with the Matchmaker, and noone has called me to update me, ask me anything, see if I"m happy, set the right expectations. So I have cancelled my check, and would urge all of you single gals in New York City: caveat emptor. (let the buyer beware).

I am so glad that I found your post. I recently just had an experience with The Right One company and wanted to see if I could find out more information about them. This was my experience with them: I went to a local singles website and then someone from the Right One called me the next day. The lady was so pushy and would not let me get off the phone. I told her several times that I wanted to think about whether or not I wanted to make an appointment to come to their office. She just kept coming back with some lines like "Then you are obviously not ready in your life to make that next step to meet the right one, etc." I asked her over the phone if she could give me a general range of the costs for their services and she stated that could not give me that information and that she really didn't know. She explained that the consultant at their office that she wanted me to make an appt. with would be able to talk about cost with me because it so individualized and it depends on what each person wants. I told her several times that I thought it was strange that she couldn't even give me an idea of what the costs may be; I told her that that state program I work for can give someone a rough idea as soon as they call and she stated that "we can't compare the service they provide to the work I do because it isn't the same." I kept telling the lady that I had to get off the phone and that I had friends coming over for dinner and had alot to do, but she was not taking no for an answer. She kept saying that she didn't feel I was making an "informed" decision about their services and that the only way to make an "informed" decision was to come to the office and meet with one of the relationship consultants. The offices she discussed with me were all also at least 45-60 mins. away from where I live and when I mentioned that to her, she said that it was only a one time thing and did I really want to put a distance on finding someone? She continued to give me her "lines" to try to get me to make an appt. I finally got her off the phone after I told her that I thought it rude of her to not let me get off the phone when I had told her several times that I needed to think about it and had to get off the phone. I think the only reason she finally stopped was because I told her to give me her number and I would call her back if I decided to make an appt. She was very pushy and sarcastic throughout the conversation- That alone was enough to turn me off on their company. I was just shocked that she couldn't give me any idea about costs over the phone!!

My biggest concern is that they won't give out any pricing information when they're on the phone with you. I'm a single mother of 3. I'd love to find the right one - but have a financial obligation to my kids first and foremost. Please don't waste my time if I can't afford your service.

I've belonged to The Right One for over 3 years and have received approximately 8 "Referrals" during that time. Although all of the individuals were nice, I was not physically attracted to any. In the past year I have contacted them twice asking when the next Referral is coming, and get the standard reply of when they find a compatible person.
I don't like the idea of not being able to see photos of the person beforehand, and have experienced much better results with e-Harmony.
Overall, I'm not impressed with The Right One at all, and feel it is a tremendous wast of $$.
Just my opinion based upon personal experience.

What do you do if you just gave them your credit card and are now having major buyers remorse? Can you legally cancel the contract?

I went to The Right One in 2006 because I was living in Salt Lake City and wanted to find a non-religious wife.
I was warmly received and filled out the paperwork as the first stage of their qualification process. For the next stage, I was brought into the rear office of a "matchmaking counselor," who interviewed me in minute detail about whom I was looking for and all pertinent aspects of myself (including my income level) for about two hours.
Throughout this interview, I received several strong, explicit assurances that they had precisely what I was looking for "in stock."
Finally, they brought out the price list, which had different packages at $5000, $7500 and $10000, or thereabouts. We spent half an hour discussing this, the "counselor" using her high-pressure sales tactics, leaving the room several times, etc. I talked her down to $2500 for 10 referrals, which I felt was worth it based on her promise of already having just the one I described.
A few days later, someone else called, introducing himself as my new matchmaking counselor. He stated that he had someone ready for me to meet, and read off her description. I was surprised that she met only a few of the criteria I had given during the interview. Indeed, she was religious, which I had strongly emphasized I didn't want. He then suggested another girl, who was an even worse fit. I said I'd wait for a better "referral."
After speaking with this guy, I realized that my initial "matchmaking counselor," whose intimate interview with me had given me the distinct impression that she would be my actual matchmaker, was simply the company's high pressure sales negotiator whose job was to apply pressure and tell lies in order to make the sale. In actuality, her "matchmaking" job was to determine whether I qualified as a good "match" for the company -- personally and financially. She just filled out my profile papers and gave them to someone else to manage who never met me. It was subsequently apparent that the new person was just going off her scribbled notes and checkboxes.
A week or two later, I got another call from him, this time with someone who fit about 80% of my criteria. We went on a date, but without much chemistry. This happened a couple more times until I relocated from Salt Lake that same year.
Another absurdity was that no photos of "referrals" were provided, with them only giving you vague descriptions of how beautifully attractive everyone was. Then, of course, you go through the trouble of a wasted blind date, and The Right One checks off the number of your remaining "referrals."

I have received a collection letter from a collection agency by the name of Omega RMS llc. Representing the right one….a year ago I received this letter and contacted OMEGA to let them know that I have never used The right one's service, and I am married. They have my name, (which is very common) and my address, (which I've found out is easily accessible if you google the county records) I'm learning a lot about how unsafe you really are in this new computerized era we now live in. Well I have received another one, (a year later) representing the right one again, who according to this letter have used the name, " Together Dating Service", aka "Lullys-DBA "The Right One" . I let Omega know that they have the wrong guy, and verified the last 4 of my SSN, which is incorrect according to Omega. I then contacted the right one by the number that was on the website, and when I spoke with the young lady that answers the line, she didn't know who she worked for and it took me to ask her, "You are the right one, are you not?" before she responded with, "yea, Yea that's us". I continued with question's like, "may I speak with your billing dept. please" & "I've never used your service could I speak with someone who could help me clear up this obvious misconception". All to the answer of, "Ummmm, huh? & let me get someone to help you…..10min later no one and the ladies still on the line, breathing. Okay guys understand this….I have good credit and I don't want it jacked up because you think I'm an idiot. For a person to have to track down a Co. he's never done business with and for you to go as far as getting a collection agency to collect on a dept, (hell, I even wonder if the collection agency is legit) that I will not pay. How good of a Co. can you truly be? I've filed a complaint with the better business bureau on both Co. and I found this site and wanted to let other consumers know that this Co. is not legit and the people that are writing positive comments on these blogs….represent this Co. Sorry for those of you who have been caught up in the BS that this Co. has put you through and I hope you've learned a lesson on doing research and not giving out your personal info. And even though they can still get some things on you, they can not get your SSN unless you give it to them….signed a pissed off consumer

Guys, "The Right One" is "Single Atlanta" now!!! They totally took me to the cleaners - professional scam bags!!!
If you care at all for your hard earned money, STAY AWAY, PLEASE STAY AWAY!!!
"Single Atlanta" is the same scam is previously "The Right One", and they don't "make" deals with you anymore, they just take your money and run!!! I cannot believe they've been getting away with it for such a long time!!! Scam bags!!!

Is DCSingles.com AKA AshburnSingles, RestonSingles, FallsChurchSingles, ManassasSingles, woodbridgesingles, annandalesingles and Fairfaxsingles a part of the same marketing arm as this company because they sound very similar to the to this group of singles. All of the AKA names feed into DCSingles and do not actually exist. They appear to be franchised operations with phone numbers all of the county and no one can really figure out who they are.

The Right One is now "Single Atlanta?" I can't believe it. No, I'm not a member and I'm thankful but I had a good interview with them several weeks ago but I just couldn't bring myself to pay for it. Wow. I'm so thankful that I dodged that bullet.
So, real question: Anyone found a Legit Match Maker in Atlanta???

Wow, this putrid company... Here are all the names I currently know them by:
The Right One
Matchmakers
Matchmaking Institute
Together Dating
Together Introductions
eLove
The Ideal Match
Guess I'll add "Single Atlanta" to my file. This business has been around for more than 15 years. Every few years the company closes and reopens under a new name, sometimes relocating to another state, to make themselves difficult to prosecute. They ripped me off over 10 years ago and I've been keeping tabs on them ever since.
You can read my story at troblowschunks.tripod.com[*1] . If you're interested in sending me details about your story, there's an email link on my page. I'm collecting people's stories in an effort to submit them to the attorneys general in every state where these sleazebags have ever operated.

My wife and I found each other via The Right One.( called Together in Orange County)
I live in San Diego and she lived in LA.
It took about a year and I went out with about 12-15 people beforehand.
We are both very picky with tons of dating experience. We've both been married once before.
Our agent was Sharmin Miller in LA who was awesome!!!!!!!!!
I do not work for the agency.
We have been together 11 years and married for 6.
She is my soulmate.

"A Concerned Individual" and "Sunshine" did get it "right". I definitely won't go to them. I did several years ago but I will go another route. The employee was terribly rude with her comments.
I once put down money on another one, that someone mentioned and that was a farce and they sent me very few people. The name is on the tip of my tongue..."Great Expectations". Took my money and did not deliver, at all. Nothing "great" about them, either.

I used their service and never used all my "dates". First of all, I was looking for specific but general points on individuals I was interested in. They ignored this and matched me on dates with the opposite. The first couple, I just let go and specified in my after date contact, what I had originally said. It didn't change.
Then I ran into a friend that worked for them and she told me they had a problem with not enough members and that she and other, coworkers and friends would be matched and go out on dates just to help the company burn up the matches.
Well I felt pretty stupid at that point and quit. They still owe me about $2K.
