      Dear The Better Business Bureau,I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with my experience as a new member of The League Dating App for a week. Despite multiple attempts to resolve my concerns, I have yet to receive any meaningful assistance by this company, and the issues I have encountered remain unresolved.The ********************* has been incredibly unhelpful in addressing my concerns, which has made this experience even more frustrating. As a new member, I expected a much higher level of customer service and support. Instead, I have encountered nothing but poor service and a lack of responsiveness. This has been, without a doubt, the WORST customer experience Ive ever ****** for the issues with the app itself, I have not received the core features promised in my plan. I do not have access to my likes or matches, my daily prospects stop after just four attempts, and I am unable to access messages. These are essential features that were supposed to be part of the service, and their absence is unacceptable.Given the significant lack of value and the poor customer service Ive experienced, I am respectfully DEMANDING a full refund for my membership, which is $34.99. I will not be continuing as a customer due to the app's failures and the inadequate support from your team.Please understand that if I do not receive a timely response or a proper resolution, I will be forced to dispute this charge with my financial institution.I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter and expect a swift *************** regards,******* *****

      We are sorry to hear ******* did not enjoy their experience with The League. Our Terms of Service, which all members agree to when joining the service, explain "Generally, all purchases are final and nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods."

      The Leagues response is wholly unsatisfactory and does not address the substance of my complaint. While I am aware of their general no refund policy as outlined in their Terms of Service, this is not a situation of buyers remorse. I paid for a premium package, which is $34.99 and did not receive access to the core features included in that package, specifically: No access to my likes or matches, Daily prospects stop after just four attempts, No access to messages. These are not optional features, they are essential to the functionality of the service I paid for. The company has also failed to respond to my direct attempts to resolve this issue via email. Once I raised my concerns, they became completely non-responsive. Referring me back to the support email again, after Ive already tried that route and received no assistance, is not a resolution. This response completely disregards the fact that I was sold a service that does not function as advertised. At this point, I am requesting a FULL-REFUND for the package. I purchased due to failure to deliver the promised features and a lack of support. I am also asking that the BBB continue to assist in mediating this matter to a fair and reasonable outcome.

      Hello,Upon using The League App, a user with id user name ******* made inappropriate remarks after adding me on social media. This included asking for sexual favors without ever meeting in person. I think this violates the app standards. I hope this is helpful to The League should the way choose to take appropriate action.

      I joined the app on May 12 and paid $432.99 for a three-month subscription. On May 17, I contacted the in-app concierge because I realized the app was not working as advertised on the website. I also submitted a help desk ticket because the features of a member as advertised were not showing up for me. I received an email response saying that the app was working as intended, which is thus not as advertised. The support email advised me to submit my refund request via Apple Pay, but I purchased through ****** Pay. I submitted the refund request to ****** Pay on May 22. It was supposed to take 1-4 business days. I followed up on June 4 and was told it would take 1-4 business days. See attachments. The League app needs to process my refund itself.Evidence: my in-app scores show that my popularity is Top 50%, yet I have 0 real matches. I have only had 3 matches in one month: one match never messaged me (most likely a fake plant who only matched after I complained), one match was in another state and wondered how we were matched, and the other seemed like a scammer.The website warns against liking everybody but not messaging. However, I have liked a slew of men, but I cannot message them. The website states that members can override the algorithm using League Tickets. A League Ticket allows my profile to be shown to the men I have liked (called a Power Move). However, when I attempt a Power Move, the app prompts me to purchase League tickets although the website states that Members get them.So, in order for my profile to be shown to the men that I like, I have to pay more money. But, isnt that a basic premise of a dating app? The app shows my profile to the same men that the app shows to me. That is how a match becomes possible. Now, I understand how my League score is Top 50% in popularity but still have no matches I have not been shown the profiles of those men who have liked me and vice versa. The app does not work as advertised, and I would like a refund.

      I am rejecting this response because:  The League App is a business who received my money. As a business, they can issue a refund directly as ****** states to contact the app developer directly. That is what I am doing: contacting the app developer directly to issue the refund that the app support stated they would provide. The app developer does not need to wait on ****** to return those funds.

      Concerns Regarding Violations on Dating App To Whom It May ********* am writing to express my concerns about a user on your dating app whose behavior has raised serious red flags regarding the safety and well-being of other users, particularly women. Despite efforts to address these is***s, there seems to be a lack of adequate support or validation from the app in ensuring the safety of its users.The user in question has been repeatedly observed engaging in inappropriate conduct, including sharing personal information without consent (commonly referred to as doxing), sending unsolicited sexual messages, and contributing to an uncomfortable and potentially unsafe environment for women.While these incidents have been reported, it is concerning that there appears to be little to no action taken to address these violations. This lack of response is troubling and leaves room for continued misconduct, which could potentially harm other users.Other behavior from the user includes threatening to *** a womans mother, and inappropriate sexual coercion.As a platform that emphasizes the importance of user safety and well-being, it is imperative that immediate action is taken to address instances of harassment and inappropriate behavior. I urge you to thoroughly investigate these matters and take the necessary steps to ensure that such behavior is not tolerated on your app.Additionally, I suggest that the app provide additional support and resources to prevent and address instances of harassment, particularly those targeting women users. It is crucial that all users feel safe and supported while using the app, and proactive measures must be taken to protect their welfare.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will take appropriate action to address these violations and improve the safety of the app for all users.Sincerely,************

      Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding User Safety and Harassment on ********************

      Dear Better Business Bureau,


      I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the safety and well-being of users on The League dating app. Specifically, I am deeply concerned about the behavior of a user on the platform, username ******* and the lack of adequate response from The League to address these issues.


      Timeline of Concerns:


      Initial Communication on The League App:
      User ******* quickly requested to communicate off the app and add me on social media.


      Despite expressing concern about my boundaries and never having met him in person, he persistently requested *** and engaged in other inappropriate behavior.


      Consultation with Friends:
      Upon discussing my experience with friends who have used The League app, they reported similar uncomfortable interactions with User.
      These interactions included requests for *** and concerns that he may be engaging in similar behavior with multiple women simultaneously.


      Continued Harassment:
      Despite blocking User ******* from social media, he continued to harass me through other means.
      He resorted to sharing personal information online, including my photo and address, without consent, which is a form of doxing and extremely intimidating.


      Distressing Behavior:
      Despite initial impressions of User as an Ivy ********************** graduate, his behavior has been distressing and does not align with that perception.
      He escalated his actions to professing love without ever meeting me in person, exacerbating the discomfort and concern.


      Support Group Confirmation:
      Through an online womens support group, I learned that other women have had similar uncomfortable interactions with this user where he engaged in behavior of requesting marriage to women while requesting *** from other women simultaneously without ever meeting them in person.
      This confirmation underscores the seriousness of the issue and indicates a pattern of behavior that is inappropriate and harmful.
      Despite blocking his social media account, he found new ways to attempt to be in communication despite my clear boundaries of not wanting to be in contact.  Another woman in the support group mentioned that she believed he was doing the similar pattern of behavior to her.


      Conclusion:
      The harassment, sharing of personal details online, and persistent requests for *** despite expressing discomfort are clear violations of safety and respect standards.
      I urge The League to take immediate and decisive action against User ******* to ensure the safety and well-being of all users on the platform.


      I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt resolution.


      Sincerely,
      *****

      I purchased a two month membership for $299.99 to the League. The membership did not give me what it was supposed to provide in several ways. 1. ******** filters dont work - I am seeing people outside of **********, the selected age range, and basically all of the other filters. I contacted support and they werent able to help me. 2. The app showed the wrong name for quite some time - I contacted support and it took awhile for them to help. 3. I took an app break to date someone and was told the league time out would pause my membership and when I came back the time I took off would be added back onto my account. This did not happen. My membership now shows expired and I cannot reach anyone. They have not provided anything for $299.99 that was supposedly going to happen.

      Good afternoon,


      We have received the above complaint against The League and have reviewed our records to provide a response for you and the customer.

      In response to the member's comment that the data filters dont work, resulting in the member was shown profiles of individuals outside of their preferred location and age range. We remind all users that these are preferences and not guarantees. The member contacted our support team for assistance, but our support team was unable to resolve the issue satisfactorily for the member. While we understand the member's frustration with seeing profiles of individuals outside of their preferred location and age range, it is important to note that sometimes The League operates in smaller communities, for our app specifically, such as the one the member is located. As a result, as a member runs lower on optimal individuals within their preferences, our platform expands the search to provide a wider selection of potential matches, especially in smaller communities. This approach aims to ensure that members have a continued opportunity to connect with individuals who may be compatible, even if they fall outside the initially preferred location or age range.

      In response to the member claiming that their name was incorrect for quite some time, we can report that the member reached out to us on May 28th, 2023, and our system was updated on May 31, 2023, less than 48 hours from reporting. We do not promise a response time to our members, but we do try and get to their questions and comments as soon as possible.

      In response to the members claim that they took a break from the app and should have received time back on the app for the break, while the withholding of adding the membership time was not intentional, this was an oversight by The League. This time is still available to the user if they would like, and we would be happy to add an additional 30 days for the oversight. If the user does not want the added time due to concern they may still only be shown individuals outside their preferences; we can refund the user the $299.99 they paid for their most recent 2-month membership with The League.


      Sincerely,


      The League

      I am writing regarding my account at the ********************** which has been compromised. I have been within all specifications of the app and used it with integrity. I had previously reported concerning behavior from a male user which posed a safety threat, and do not believe standing up for myself or other womens safety should be grounds for me not being able to login nor should I be retaliated or held accountable for speaking out with my experience. I respectfully request an apology and reinstatement as a result.I have all documentation as needed.Any woman feeling unsafe has a right to share their experience without fear of retaliation and my concern is that other women will feel unsafe and unsupported sharing their experiences in the future if their accounts are impacted. Given statistics show upwards of 90% of improper conduct and harassment is done by men, women sharing their stories with online dating and having retaliation occur should be valued rather than having accounts impacted via retaliation. With this in mind, I am proud of standing up for myself and believe the league should not compromise my account. An apology would be appreciated at this point.

Per The League Terms of Service, we expressly reserve the right to terminate or suspend your Account without notice (1) for violating these terms, (2) due to your conduct through the Services or your conduct with other users of the Service (including your offline conduct), if we, in our sole discretion, determine your conduct was inappropriate or improper, (3) if we or our affiliates, in our or their sole discretion, determine your conduct on other apps operated by our affiliates was inappropriate or improper, or (4) for any reasons whatsoever that we deem, in our sole discretion, justifies termination.

      In order to protect the privacy of our users and maintain the integrity of the reporting process, The League is unable to disclose additional specifics of this decision. We understand that **** may want further details, but we hope they can appreciate that these policies protect all users including them.

      I am rejecting this response because there has been intimidation and harassment from the presumed reporting party causing slander and significant emotional distress due to their offline behavior, including stalking, harassing my friends and attempting to slander my reputation because of standing up to their behavior. 

      it has come to my attention that many other women have experienced harassment and improper behavior as a result of standing up for myself. I am able to provide reports.

      I have acted in integrity with due diligence to vet this person prior to making life-altering decisions as a result of their words and behavior. 

      For three years, this person was love bombing, stalking and doing improper behavior causing fear all while pretending to be in love without meeting in person during cancer treatment. I  have made friends with other of their female victims to which they have acknowledged his behavior was without integrity. I have ongoing records of this stalking and harassment as a result. 

      In good faith I reported- and stand by this with integrity and take accountability for vetting, with due diligence their behavior, as stalking requests for sexual activity, etc. with the pretense of them being in love and harassing me continuously. I have records from support groups of the type of abuses endured from this virtual stalking and harassment from ***********************, and would be happy to present any and all evidence of this, including ongoing marriage proposals (without meeting), requests for *** (under the assumption of a relationship) and love fraud (to which I learned was false). these issues are significantly concerning as I had cancer and was vulnerable and should not have felt exploited by this person. As he has a law degree, his behavior has not been within integrity.

      What I have done as a result, was inform other women and have not met up with other league members while dealing with the harassment faced by this member.

      As a woman, supporting other women to validate the integrity of any man is important to feel safe, which I did. And then reported this behavior as a result.  

      this person has sent verbatim text messages to women (as shown), has giving me marriage proposals (at the same time as hitting on other women), and has called himself my future husband (as an attempt to sleep with me).

      I have acted in integrity wirh reporting and for protecting other women from harassment and intimidation.

      This person has negated their responsibility in online proposing, professing love, and saying it was a joke during a pandemic which lead me to believe this is a false and inauthentic user of the **********************. Please see screenshots who in document 

      a) marriage proposals while simultaneously pretending to be single to another woman

      b) validation from his longterm friend advocating for him then upon realizing his unacceptable behavior on apps, subsequently realizing he is a narcissist 

      c) ongoing love bombing to make it seem as though we were in a relationship during my cancer surgery 

       

      this person (***********************) acted as though he was planning to marry me as a guise to lure me to sleep with him. After the fact, he said to a friend that he never loved me and it was a joke. 

      he was conducting inauthentic relationships and I did the right thing to report him and warn other women through a safe online support community that values women supporting women.

       

      my conduct was skeptical yet trusting and wanted to believe the best in him until given evidence of his fraudulent behavior towards me and other women. To which, I believe I protected the community.

      I would like to reiterate that an I3C complaint was filed with the *** due to fraudulent behavior from the person reported due to their conduct of sending ongoing marriage proposals falsely, requesting *** while under the guise of looking for true love (which is the purpose of the league.) Additionally, I did my due diligence to vet the person who I had previously reported via connecting with other women via mutual friends and support group to which mutual connections are apart of this is well within the Leagues protocol and terms of service to feel safe for women.  

      Please see the attachments to document that I did everything within the scope of the league to feel safe with a man who was sending marriage proposals online, professing love and asking for *** I did my due diligence to make sure I was being safe before trusting his behavior. I correctly found out- via asking other women- that his behavior was indeed fake.

      Had I not done this, I could have jeopardized my safety.  

      Additionally, I have been a safe and responsible League user and should not have repercussions towards me for a man who was not who they said they are.

      I can provide further evidence of this as needed.

      Any woman standing up for safety should be met with support.

      Good afternoon,

      We have received the update to this concern. We can confirm that The League previously received ****'s report against ***** and appropriate action was taken following review. However, please understand that this will not impact the standing of ****'s own account, which will remain banned as indicated in our previous response as well as our response to ****'s support ticket on May 30th.

      We understand this is not the requested outcome, but ****'s account will not be reinstated, and any new accounts **** creates will also be subject to termination. Thank you for your understanding. 
       

      Sincerely,


      The League

      I am rejecting this response because:   

      I have acted in integrity using the League and if there were any inconsistencies on my end, there has been no indication as to what was the reason.  I will have to reiterate that l have not been harmful to anyone on The League nor offline, except being humorous, polite and respectful. 

      The only reason I can think of is that my account was jeopardized after making a report  (which is why it was brought up). 

      Again, I have advocated for safety & will reiterate that stance. If there is any other reason, it would be helpful to be made aware of this and: 1) address this constructively and 2) be mindful to remediate this in the future.

      I appreciate the team at the League and their work to create safe spaces and would very much like to better understand what I have done at this point. Without an explanation, I will have to continue to advocate for womens safety as a collective and my own position yet am open to having a reasonable conversation to address any issue on The Leagues part.

      I relied on reviews on the App Store regarding this app. Once I bought the subscription, I was shocked I was charged for all 6 months up front. Had I known that I would have just tried the one month subscription. Also, on other dating apps I get hundreds of matches, but on this dating app I had ONE in two weeks. They claim to be so good at matching, but I kept getting message saying I was so popular I need to upgrade and pay even more money to see who liked me... so I could have better chance of matching. They claim to be so good at matching but my one match never responded. Also, the groups were filled with spam users placing ads instead of convos. The app was not anything like what they advertised. When I went to review in the App Store... several times over the course of days... each time I tried to leave a bad review it told me App Store was unavailable... very sketchy.

      Hello. In response to the complaint, the user has an Apple device and upon upgrading to a membership, it asks two different times in the Apple App Store, before purchase, to acknowledge the amount charge. In both times, it shows $399.99. The user acknowledged both times they accepted that.

      The user states she receives hundreds of matches on other apps, which sounds incredibly promising. This user was shown 72 prospects in 12 days which the user voted on. We cannot guarantee that a prospect that meets the user's preference will like the user as well.

      In regards to the groups being filled with Spam users and placing ads instead of conversations, the user belonged to 8 different groups in which have over 30,000 users in attendance of which many contribute conversation to. One group the user attended, is open to all users, including free users and users on our waitlist and those could have less direct conversations.

      All in all, we are sorry the user did not have a good experience on our app and unfortunately that will happen sometimes as we can never guarantee love and attraction no matter how hard we try and help. Please note the user has also received a refund of $399.99, directly from Apple as they are our payment platform system. Any and all refund requests must be administered through Apple as we are a developer of the App store and for the user's and members' safety, payments are only administered through them.
      We wish the user the best even if it was not with our app and sounds like they have great opportunity on the other apps.

      This app is providing false advertising indicating a monthly fee is charge and will charge you the full amount. I opted for $67/month option for 6 months and instead I was charged $431.99 in full, I immediately cancelled the subscription for dishonesty. I requested a refund via the concierge and although the message was read received no response. I find this to be unethical and sneaky of the company because there was no indication that I will be charge in full.

      Hello. In response to the member's complaint, the member informed us that she accidentally chose the wrong one subscription. Memberships require two confirmations before a purchase is made and our memberships are detailed and state that the amount that will be charged. We did respond to the member and let her know that we do not provide refunds, another disclosure we make up front as well as that all payments are made through Apple and we have zero control on those and cannot refund. We did help with a few complementary options for the member. The member did read our response on 11/3 at 3:28 PM however we have not heard from the member since. We would love the help the member enjoy her membership on our platform for the duration of it as we want the member to find love!

      I was charged $249.99 without my consent for a 2020 subscription to The League dating app. I contacted them several times in 2019 complaining about the false advertising they aggressively pushed me to pay this high fee for "exclusive access to a dating pool that matched my profile"... it is a scam. I used the site daily for several months in late 2018 and early 2019 without any results. I could not find a "real" person as a match and never reached a real person at the League. I have not opened the app all year and now I discovered they sneakily auto-renewed my membership, hidden behind apple pay without a description. I saw the charge on my credit card and thought it was for Apple Music - since it said Apple. The League was not identified in the charge. The app and service are useless. I requested a cancellation several times in 2019 on the app through their "concierge" and was charged again. I spent $500 and got nothing in return. A total sham.

      To Whom It May Concern:

      We are responding to complaint # XXXXXXXX submitted of 5/8/2020. The user purchased an annual Membership on 12/23/2018. The League sent the user over 200 prospects in which they matched with 4 indiviudals. All Profiles on the app are vetted for acceptance to ensure the app does not have fake profiles.
      The user reached out to the app, 6 months after using the service to claim disappointment. Additionally, the user was given instructions to cancel the Membership on July 24, 2019, through the app store and did not take the appropriate steps. The concierge, who is a real person, told the user if the auto-renewal was not turned off before the end of the first time, the user would receive additional charges upon the renewal date. Attached to this letter are the following items for reference:
      - the correspondence the user had with the concierge on July 24, 2019
      - a copy of the costs incurred on the account
      - the company's Term of Use and Conditions Policy, which states that if users do not turn off their auto-renewal in the app store, they are subject to additional pricing.

      The company does not take any liability for users who do not contact the app store to seek refunds or terminate auto-renewals. Furthermore, the company does not have access to returns, payments, or transactions within the app as the partnership with the app store ceases any access to this information to protect the user's personal and financial information. The app store must be contacted if auto-renewal cancellations failed, and the app store determines refunds processed for the app. In some cases, the app store may reject a user's request for a refund and hold the user liable for charges made within the app.
      Thank you

      Complaint: XXXXXXXX

      I am rejecting this response because: I previously reached out several times on their chat service expressing disappointment with the service and requested a cancellation. This was prior to the complaints I again made that they reference. My account was never cancelled per my request. The heavy marketing and fake promise to be included in some special group when you drop the higher fee is bogus. I only received 1 response from a presumed real human being. I am led to believe most of the profiles sent to me were fake.
      The automatic renewal through Apple Pay was also unclear to me and sneaky from my persepctive. I gave up on the app long ago and would like reimbursement for the 2019 charge.
      I hope the BBB will further investigate this practice.
      Sincerely,

      Please see attached entire conversation history with the user. As mentioned in previous documentation and in writing, the first we heard of this from this user, was on July 23rd 2019, which was over 8 months AFTER they started using the app (install date was November 26) and 7 months AFTER they purchased a membership. We responded and let the user know that we are humans and we do not have fake profiles on our app. One month later, August 22 (now 9 months after having membership), the user says they want a refund. During these 8-9 months, the user voted that they liked 71 users and voted no on 118, almost 200 users all in. The user was definitely using their membership. In return, 18 users voted they liked user and 188 voted no. These are are all "real people" and not "fake". On the same date, August 22, we responded to the user and let them know that we do not offer refunds on memberships (see again attached documentation) however told the user how to turn off auto-renew, in writing with clear directions. We are a dating app and we cannot force anyone to like people. We are a platform for users to meet others, should they want to, and choose to and we do not guarantee that any user will meet someone and connect on any level, as that would be humanly impossible.
      We are sorry the platform did not work out for the user. We only ever want success and happiness with it, but sometimes it does not work out, unfortunately.
      Thank you
