Another question people often ask is: “Is eHarmony a scam?” Considering the fact that it’s on the Internet, it’s always helpful to do as much research on a website as possible before giving away any of your hard-earned money.

A quick Google search will reveal a plethora of disgruntled consumers who testify to eHarmony scams. If you spend much time at all reading those complaints, you will believe that it is a terrible site that could care less about consumers. And while no business is perfect, we also know that the Internet gives everyone a voice these days. We could find complaints about butterflies, puppies, and cupcakes if we search hard enough.

What we’re saying is to read the complaints, but do your research well. There’s no way to know if the complaints on message boards are from people who have axes to grind or people who find fault in everything. So definitely read them, but seek professional reviews as well.

The Los Angeles Better Business Bureau gives eHarmony a rating of an A+ on a scale of A+ to F. They have definitely had people file complaints against the company, but their reasons for the high rating include the length of time the business has existed, the volume of complaints filed for a business of its size, and the resolution of the complaints filed against them.

Another way to answer the question, “Is eHarmony a scam?” is to seek testimonials of single people you know in real life. The law of averages shows that at least a few of your single friends have used the site. It’s a forerunner in online dating, and with online dating becoming far more widely acceptable than it used to be, chances are you know several people who’ve used it. See if they believe it’s a scam or not.

We have several friends who have met specifically through the site and have gotten married. For us, that’s testimony enough to the fact that it isn’t a scam. But don’t just take our word for it. Do some research of your own in real life.

Are there eHarmony scammers?

Probably. In fact, sure. It’s the Internet and, again, anyone can create a site, tell you they represent eHarmony, and take your money. Always use trusted sites when making any financial transaction on the Internet so as to avoid not only an eHarmony scammer but any con artists.

But back to the original question, “Is eHarmony a scam?”

Our research finds it is not. However, be careful to ensure you are dealing with the site itself when you hand over your money so you are not swindled by someone pretending to be them.
