On May 5, 2011 On May 5, 2011 I signed up for a subscription to speeedate by logging into their billing website. They gave the option of signing up for one year for $191.40 or one month at $39.95. I chose to be billed for one month at $39.95 but when the billing process was complete I noticed they mysteriously had billed me for $191.40 for an entire year.This is fraud pure and simple.
So I contacted my credit card company (M & T Bank) to dispute the charge. On August 3, 2011 the credit card company responded to my complaint and they stated there was no basis for my claim based upon documentation and a letter from Speeddate's representative Gina Johnson. The Speeddate representative falsely stated to M& T Bank that I had "opened a speeddate.com account with recurring billing". This is not true since I signed up for a one time monthly charge of $39.95, being duped in a similar manner as thousands of others.
I am currenrtly in the process of filing a complaint with Federal Regulatory officials. Aside from the fraudulent billing practices I would also like to get the Justice Department to investifgate them for possible violations of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act. For more information on that issue please scroll "Onlinedatingrights" on the web.
