Great Expectations Dating Service Rip-off Redwood City California

I am writing on behalf of a friend. He tried this service a few years ago and paid them $2,500. He was unable to attend the photo session for personal reasons, and he was never able to use this service. They just took his money and he never got a refund. He asked me to check into it, and also to read the reviews of other people regarding this service. I did so, this morning and learned that all the reviews were scathing. Some of the people mentioned that there have been class action law suits against this company, in some states...and when I told him about this, he expressed an interest in finding out if there might be such a class action law suit against them, in the state of California. I am certain that if such a law suit exists, he would be interested in joining it. I am not sure if he would want to start one himself, if none already exist....but it is possible that he would. 

I asked him this morning, if they had been as high pressure with him..as was expressed in almost all of the reviews that I read. He said that they were just as high pressure with him. Apparently, this company is a huge scam.  And, if there is any way possible, he would like to get his $2,500 back. 

Is there any way you can help with the needed information? I would really appreciate you letting me know...one way or the other, at your very earliest convienience. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
