Lots of criminals have families,lol. I got 174 winks from people who True says want to meet me, yet when I checked the "who viewed my profile" feature- NO ONE according to True, has looked at my profile except their profile coach,lol.
Being constantly sent winks from FAKE members who haven't looked at your profile is a scam, I'm not jealous of my local cracks dealers either just cause they make more money than I do, hahahahaha. How is it NOT realistic to expect that real people will look at your profile when you pay money to a site claiming you will meet real people? When "Herb's personal business" is lying to people and ripping them off, and I am one of the people he's trying to do it to- yeah it becomes my business. Go crawl back under the rock with Herb.
None of these people even fit the parameters I put in, none are local and most are looking for women 10+ years younger than I am. Does the monitor room monitor the scam users too? And as far as the background check, is that where they ask you to agree you are neither married nor a criminal before you sign up?

So glad I found this. My husband and I met through True Beginings, now True.com. I did't know they changed names. They haven't taken my husbands profile and keep trying to lure him back. I came across this accidently and if it wasnt for this post about how they dont remove profile, I would have thought husband was cheating on me. Thanks!!!!! We have been in sorts over this and could have cost us our marriage. Really, this needs to be reported and some how taken care of. Can you imagine how many other people have gone through this and actually were divorced over it?

Well lets see I saw the add and I was like I will sign up. I only use my card at My college to pay for books and stuff. So I though i would sign up. After I signed up and the "free" trial they charged me $15 instead of $9. I checked my card balance and it was way to low. After I signed up my card had charges from the other side of the U.S. I had a bad experience on there to. One girl kept on asking me to add her on facebook and when i did she started posting things about some sex web cast. The first day on there a 66 year old man sent me a message on there saying he wanted to rape me. I have to admit i did make one real friend on there near me. But the site is a scam. I tryed to cancel multiple. But everytime they would yell at me and call me a scammer. I tryed to call again and i got a message saying the number was dissconected. I then called from my friends phone and I got a hold of them. I am over drawn because of what they did. I had to contact my bank to block all transactions from them to make it stop. I am going to talk to my lawyer to see what i have to do to sue them.

In addition to their policies of not letting you out, they have the
NEW CRUSH MESSAGE flashing on almost every page. Go through the sign up process ending with a $9.95. Then a pin number is sent to your cell phone. Then take the sign up steps again and have Avg pop up and say this is a Phishing scam.

This outfit is a bonafide scam. Stay away. You can't cancel without talking to one of their customer reps, and they dont cancel your membership, they just keep charging you. I changed my profile to see how good their match algorithm works, asking for a drinking woman, who smoked, was an atheist, and practiced her religion daily, was between 4 feet and 3 feet tall and between the ages of 85 and 90, had to live over 250 miles away and they had over 700 matches for me. I have decided that the only way to stop the charges is to go to the bank and arrange it there. Hope that works.

Tired of being scammed!! — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:12:13 -0000

This site is certainly a SCAM!!!! I would NEVER recommend anyone to sign up, I was scammed exactly the way explained in the previous post, not being able to cancel right on the site, having to cancel by phone in another time zone from mine, being talked to rudely by the so-called customer service rep and then tried to cancel on the site by typing info in the e-mail box and then still charged 9.98 and an additional 49.99, this site is a RIP OFF!!! And I never got any messages from anyone in my area only guys in CA, FL or other far away places, stay AWAY from this site!!!!

Thanks for this post... I wasn't scammed by them but rather a person off of another site who claimed he was a soldier and wanted me to get him leave. There was fake email address to which I was supposed to send money to process his leave application. I knew that instant is was a scam. Wondering how many women fall for it. Thanks for this post again--I will be sure to blog about it.

Wow I thought this all along. It sends out emails of people who don't fit your interest, and you don't fit theirs. I go to the profiles and can see it's all wrong.

You bet True is a scam! I suspected many of the respondents were nonexistent, too. Many of them were thousands of miles away. I made proximity one requirement. They even seemed to be trying to change my sexuality! Then, many of the respondents looked more thuggish than anything else.
This company should be put out of business. Maybe Texas is the only state with regulations loose enough to allow operations.
The pathways to cancellation are littered with half-truths and traps to snare the unwary. The whole setup is more evasive and vague than anything else.
Then, when the exasperated member finally calls to demand cancellation, the person sounds like one of those fast-talkers you hear doing terms and conditions on commercials.
True.com stinks!

This is real, true.com is a scam also the DateHook.com is the same thing. They sent a few words email by the chosen ladies but those e-mail are driving by a network administrator used as baite, also their fake or no real ladies starting asking and looking for Gift.All is stories and stories set up by very creative cyber criminal.

Looks like TRUE.COM has resorted to stealing credit card information.

I received a bank alert than an online purchase was made on my account. I checked out the link that was included and found out it was a hook-up site, called my bank to report fraudulent activity.

Unfortunately they had to wait til it posted to my account first before treating it as such and they suggested that I contact the business. I did and of course they wanted my name and credit card number.

I'm not an idiot, and didn't give them my account number, which they would have then attached to my name and sold it to whoknowswho in Russia, lol.

Then the girl on the phone had the nerve to tell me that I would have to cancel the monthly membership or else my card would continue to be charged 49.99 every month. I laughed at that one, since I'm not stupid enough to cancel a membership that I didn't initiate. Good luck collecting payment on a closed card account!

These people are frauds, crooks and a complete scam. I will gladley join in any civil lawsuit against these aholes. They're using random card generators until they get a hit on an account number, then they want you to call them and give them the remaining info the need in order to steal more of your money. They need to be arrested and prosecuted!

In defense of Herb Vest whom I have known for 32yrs, I don't believe his personal business is anyone's concern. Also, what he uses his money for is no one's business either. His sons are not suffering for money. He has seen his grandson, I was at the Christmas dinner he came to with his current wife, which was at his ex-wife's house (which he remains friends with)just after the baby was born. Everyone has a past and that's where it needs to stay. He is a successful entrepreneur and if you're jealous then start your own company and see how far you get. If you have problems with True's website, as with all websites...you must read the fine print. It states that it will keep your information on file and that if you wish not to participate in the future, not to respond to anything they send you. NEVER give your credit card number to a website that offers a free trial unless you know how to read instead of just clicking on "I agree". If you can't afford your own mistake of not reading and being debited $50 some odd dollars, then don't use credit cards!!! Desperate people tend to jump the gun when looking for love. Yes, I agree there are some scum bags on there just looking for a quick webcam peep, but I assure you they are screened and are not felons or married. I routinely monitor those rooms and let True's 24hr monitor room know when crude behavior is being shown. Be real, don't be jealous. Be efficient, don't be scammed.

December 3, 2008:

The United State District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Dallas) has ruled a class action lawsuit against Irving-based Internet dating service True.com can proceed.

In an order signed on December 3, 2008, Judge David C. Godbey denied True.com's motion for summary judgment on Thomas Wong's class action lawsuit for (1) violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, (2) unjust enrichment, (3) money had and received, and (4) breach of contract. The order in Thomas Wong v. TrueBeginnings, LLC, Case No. 3:07-cv-01244-N is attached. Internet dating service giant True.com was started by Dallas entrepreneur Herb Vest.

Plaintiff's attorney is Jon G. Shepherd, Alston & Bird LLP, 220 Ross Avenue, Suite 4650W, Dallas Texas, 214-432-7771.

Defense counsel is Gary D. Eisenstat and John M. Barcus, Figari & Davenport, 3400 Bank of America Plaza, 901 Main Street, LB 125, Dallas Texas, 214-939-2000.

December 29, 2008:

In the class action lawsuit filed against Irving-based online matchmaking giant True.com, plaintiff's counsel has moved to add RICO claims to the lawsuit. The following excerpt is from the attached motion to amend the complaint:

Specifically, the First Amended Complaint alleges a claim under the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act,
18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968 ("RICO"). The First Amended Complaint alleges that defendant True Beginnings LLC ("True") committed wire fraud and bank fraud—which are "predicate acts" under RICO—in two ways: (1) through its "auto subscription" function, by submitting Visa and
MasterCard charges to financial institutions when the holders of the Visa and MasterCard
accounts (namely, True's ex-subscribers) had not authorized those charges; and (2) by engaging in a scheme to defraud Visa and MasterCard by artificially increasing the number of monthly Visa and MasterCard charges, and thus artificially reducing its "chargeback ratio," through the use of reloadable "gift cards" purchased in the names of True's top executives and their spouses

Adding to the scam data, I almost got hooked by this site, seeing all their ads on Hotmail pages. I did the basic signup info (no credit card info), didn't see any matches worth responding to, so I didn't fill out my profile with any pictures or personal info.

Since then I've gotten a couple spam emails a week, offering me free one week trials because their system was down when I was trying to check my mail--and I wasn't checking anything!

Gotten lots of emails from various users who are "trying" to contact me, though with no picture or any personal info I can't imagine who would want to.

I was searching classified and discovered those "personals". The "girl" responded, however with link to chat on True.com. I discovered the link was an affiliate of True.com.
