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 the 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
