I had an eHaronmy account about a year ago. I canceled it and told them to remove my profile.

They acknowledged that they would remove my profile. A relationship I had started fell through because the woman I was seeing thought I was still trolling for dates because my profile still appeared to be active. I then reactivated the account and found they had left my profile active all that time, making mine a "ghost" account. There were scores of "matches" during that time.

Those women must have thought I was a snob for not replying to them. This appears to be how eHarmony inflates the number of accounts presented to users. Unwitting users like me are turned into shills in eHarmomy's fraudulent user-inflation scam.

I also found about 25% of accounts were "catfishers." See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catfishing for a description of that type of scam. I work for a federal agency and I've been trained to spot catfishers because they often exploit male federal employees by accusing them of sexual misconduct ("but if you give my Uncle Sasha some secrets, I'll forget about calling the police").

I found that many of the photos were "scraped" (copied) from commercial ads and magazine articles appearing on line. I confirmed that by copying the profile photo and running it through Google image search (images.google.com).

So if you use eHarmony, prepare to be scammed both by eHarmony and by its users.

Reason of review: Return, Exchange or Cancellation Policy.
