I'm very sorry I ever signed up for this dating service! I was upset about an issue in my billing and I sent them an email telling them I was upset and they DELETED my account and threatened harassment against me!

I experience very POOR customer service and I rate this dating site to be an extreme negative.

When I sent an email explaining my displeasure at my account being deleted and no refund forthcoming from a consumer's perspective, I was sent a threatening email from Keith Fuerson which reads:

'From: 'Big Girls Galore'
Subject: RE: Request for Assistance
Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005

Any slander against our site is always met with legal action. I'd be careful if I were you! This company doesn't mess around when it comes to their good name and have already sued people for that and won a ton of cash because because of it.

My opinion - just go to another site. They're really strict here about harassment.

Sincerely,

Keith Fuerson

THIS is how they try to correct any problems! Threats of lawsuits & slanderous accusations!

I have said nothing illegal or slanderous. Merely shown my side. You are welcome to make up your own mind.

Harassing Member Tries to Take Advantage of Big Girls Galore and TangoWire

Yes, we deleted the member 'LovableCuss' because he was harassing another member. We do not allow this to happen to our members and don't think you would either!

When we delete a member, paying or not, we live by our word that we will NOT EVER refund their money. People like this are where most of the scams come from on the Internet.

By the way, his real name is NOT 'Ken'. Once again, he is lying. This is the typical stuff he was up to on our site. Women do not deserve a guy like this.

Also, our site will be formally filing a civil complaint against this man for not only abusing our site, but for also threatening and harassing one of our customers.

Wanna site which protects YOUR interest - go to TangoWire.com. That's what we're all about. Period.

TangoWire did the right thing!

I used to work for TangoWire and I will tell you they did the right thing. they are always out to protect good peoples and if they said this guy was messing with some lady -- believe it. Don't listen to this guy and his complaints. Ladies need a site like this and this guy Ken is just lying and he knows it.

Any site with powered by tangowire is good site. I know this... I used to work there and I am still a good member.

Also... I was a victum of another site where I was also harrassed by a guy like this Ken (if thats his real name anyway). When I got on tangowire network, that is when I was treated like a lady and that is where I met my new husband.

(sorry my English is so bad - I'm still learning)

Same thing happened to me

My profile fit within their rules, it had been on their system for months, I made a grammatical change, and suddenly it was, lewd and 'provocative'

This was a tangowire system called bbwsingles.

They did the same thing - deleted my account, stating I was harrasing a memeber.

I suggest to ANYONE a member of this system to cancel, and CHARGE BACK YOUR CREDIT CARD! Don't put up with this.

PS - I'm looking through these, and seeing this 'supposed employee' sticking up 'such a wonderfull company' hogwash, the wording is the exact same. The company is rude, only out to get your money.

Ken Fires Back

Indeed I used a pseudonym to file a RipOffReport about this company. I see nothing wrong with that at all. There is definitely a 'stigma' about dating sites and especially Internet Dating Sites! I'm wanting to protect my privacy. Not once did I hide my name from anyone on that site - in fact you had no problem with my real name on my credit card!!

There are people I personally know who visit RipOff Report but do not know that I have used Internet dating sites only because of the social stigma associated with it. And rather than try and explain WHY I use the Net to find someone compatible, I prefer to keep myself anonymous on this site. As a professional in sales I have to be low key on using alternative ways of meeting others.

Harass one of the members? C'mon Keith, tell the truth here! I had an issue with your company that was 'administrative' and had NOTHING to do with any of the female members on your site. I wrote your C/S dept a missive & I believe I used the expletive 'Bullsh*t' which is WHY you deleted my account! Because the next day I tried to sign in, my account had been deleted.

I only met ONE girl from your site and that was when I was a non-pay member. We found we were incompatible and left it at that. Had nothing mean or nasty to say to her. Lovely girl just not for me.

Funny though how I'm a member of several other dating sites and never had any issues with any of them! I've had business with YahooPersonals, Sexy Ads, Match, BBW4Romance, LargeFriends, LoveAccess, & even E-Harmony, etc., and NOT ONE of them ever had any issues with me. But YOU do!

And if memory serves me correctly, you guys deleted mail out of my box which is why I was bitching in the first place. Every girl I contacted on that site and thru that site, I was polite and a gentleman too. (It was under ten members that I sent emails too.) Saying otherwise is slanderous to me and a blatant lie.

You wanna threaten legal action? You had better be prepared to show ALL your records of all my emails that I sent thru your system! If you don't have any, then you better shut your mouth or else I may take further actions against YOU!!

Not the same experience

Firstly, let me state that I am NOT an employee, but rather I too am a member of the BBW Datefinder. I must commend the company for their aggressive and prompt actions in regards to another member who was harrassing me and then yet another who was from another country trying to swindle money from BBW members I was HAPPY to know that this member was DELETED! I hope that by doing this it would have saved any other unsuspecting woman the problems of dealing with a scam!! THANKS BBW DATEFINDER!

I have been impressed by the due care and attention that I have recieved by being both a paying and non paying member of this site. I have met some wonderful people and have yet to be disappointed by the administrative personnel when it comes to my account with the site!

Tango wire....Keep up the good work!

P.S. I will use my real name as I am confident in their services that are offered.

Never Heard of BBW Date Finder

Sorry but I have never been a member of 'BBW Date Finder' nor have heard of it until now.

Serious jabs should show facts, not mere rhetoric. Believe what you will, dear consumers, but trust that not all dating services are fair minded or honest. This has been MY experience as I have NEVER had any problems with any of the other dating services I've been on!

I have tried:

BBW4You
Adult Friend Finder
Collarme.com
Match.com
Love AOL
Yahoo Personals
E-Harmony.com
SexyAds

and of course, *ugh* Tango Wire's Big Girls Galore service (sic). Not ONE of them ever had a problem with me or my money. But as I said previously, I log a complaint with Tango Wire's Big Girls Galore about ADMINISTRATION NOT A MEMBER and they up and delete my account without any refund. Then when I complain about that, Keith implies that they will sue me!

Fair? I didn't think so! So gentlemen, spend your money wisely and try some of the other dating services before you get bound up in Tango Wire's Big Girls Galore!

Sincerely,

Thank You
