    Additional business information

    Additional Info:
    BBB received a pattern of consumer complaints concerning concerning a pattern of sales practice issues. Specifically, consumer complaints allege misrepresentation of services from what was advertised, and that the matches for dates did not contain traits/qualities they were looking for in a partner. In July 2020, BBB contacted the business to obtain its position on the overall complaints filed.

    The business responded, explaining that clients can be a completely appropriate match, but they cannot forecast chemistry. They can ensure they have the basics of compatibility but clients must then meet to find chemistry. Most people who complain do so early in their membership but you will rarely see a complaint from someone who used their entire membership as they are the ones who are successful through the program.

      I hesitate to file a BBB compaint, but after not receiving any response from Suncoast Introductions I think I have no choice. I paid $6,000 to Suncoast about one year ago, after my friends suggested a matchmaker might be the optimum way to meet possible dating connections. The matchmakers I met with originally were great, but soon thereafter they were gone and someone else became my matchmaker. They did not inform me that the company was bought by another matchmaking company. I was very specific about my requirements and I was hopeful I would find a match, especially after the suicide of my husband four years ago. I had one in-person date that on paper seemed okay, but clearly was not at all what I had hoped. So, I was patient and thought the next one might be better. They were going to introduce me to a man who was not divorced, which I rejected. Then, another they begged to meet, even though he was clearly not at all within my parameters. So, I contacted Suncoast and never heard back from my matchmaker. Finally I sent an email to someone higher up in the organization and finally he left a message, however, when I called him back at least three times, there was no response. I know matchmaking is a process and often imperfect, but this business is an absolute sham and is not what it appears to be on paper and online. So, I would like a partial refund, since I have no confidence in the process or the matchmakers at this point. I'm sorry to have to report them, but after I read the myriad complaints against Suncoast, I realized I might have been taken advantage of as well.

      I am a 73 year old male. This site is a scam. I was told by Hailey that she would be part of my personal match making team. First lie. Hailey was just a salesperson that hooks you with false promises. She told me that they had so many women that she was dropping the 10k price to $4400. Second lie. There is nothing personal about this service. You will never speak to anyone in person. Doesn't sound personal. All they do is look at a screen and pick what they call a match. I feel like others that have stated that they were set up with the next available victim. Most of the time I called all I got was a voicemail. When I did finally get through I ended up with a different so-called personal matchmaker. The last time I called I was told I was difficult and my match limit was met and hung up on. Please heed this warning, DON'T USE THIS SERVICE

      Let's correct some errant information here.  ****** is a matchmaker, not a sales person.  You did not meet with ****** originality, She is a part of your matchmaking team.  You purchased a membership for eight introductions and we provided you with nine.  We went over and above our contractual obligations. The feedback we received from your introductions was that you were negative in your interactions with them.  We can only open the doors and provide the opportunities.  Our members must do the rest the old fashioned way.
