LongmontDating.org (OUCH!)
Contributed by: M.K. Mercurio on 5/26/2008

Are you Single? And living in Longmont?
Have you seen the signs all over the place (AND ISN'T THAT A FORM OF POLLUTION AND ILLEGAL?) The signs say "Single? LongmontDating.org". If you're in Greeley, you'll see Single? GreeleyDating.org, etc. The signs are EVERYWHERE.

DO NOT BE TEMPTED ... BEWARE... STOP! Sorry about that... I got carried away.

If you contact LongmontDating.org you'll get a screen with lots of questions but no information .. they contact you. The organization behind the signs is called TheRight One ( www.therightone.com) ... as if to say they will help you find the 'right one'. Don't count on it.

What do they cost? Well, now, that's the catch. You have to get in the door to find that out (think about buying a car...).

Buyer Beware!

I suggest you research what others have to say before you hand over $3000 plus ...

Check out this site called: Consumer Complaints about The Right One to get the consumer's view of this organization. Ouch! They definitely chose The Wrong One when they signed on the dotted line with The Right
One. Check it out at www.consumeraffairs.com/dating_services/right_one.html .

Real Life Ouchies...

A woman from Omaha (5/08/08) signed an agreement with The Right One and gave them a down payment of $1,500.00. "I changed my mind the next day. I called them and sent a certified letter to the corporate office and the location I signed the contract with. On the Membership Agreement Form, the $1,500.00 is listed as an Initiation Fee and the Membership fee is $5,945.00!" Can you imagine a $1500 initiation fee? Do you think they refunded her money? Hmm, read the webpage and see what others wrote.

Stephen (5/1/08) wrote, "I knew they were a fraud when I walked out of the BLDG but by then it was too late. I'm out over $4000 and in 5 months haven't been on one date."

A disgusted writer from Golden, CO (5/16/08) wrote "I paid $500.00. I know of many more people who lost much more. Physical anxiety due to realizing you've been robbed, with the accompanying disappointments and frustrations not withstanding, I probably escaped with relative ease."

Google It

Go to the website and do some research -- there's so much more to read and angry people have lots more to say.

Was it Right for YOU?

Now the question is this... Have you worked with this organization before? Did they fix you up with a date? Was it successful? Care to share? If so, write me at mk_mercurio@yahoo.com

In the meantime you can always watch When Harry Met Sally, right?

Gladys - thanks for your comment! The cost involved to find a mate is outrageous and with little to no results (for the money and hassle). I hope others read this and beware! Or if others are successful, then let me know!

Michael, I agree that these signs are all over - in Greeley, Weld County, Castle Rock. And has anyone had ANY good interaction with them? I hope if they have they respond to this blog.

I have been seeing the signs in Castle Rock. Alas, I am happily married so they won't snag me. Great post, MK.

Thanks Ralph! I'll bet the Better Business Bureau has already received tons of calls from local singles.
