The service, Its Just Lunch, is a dating service that cost $1,500, and guarantees and individual 8 local dates.  The program taunts the fact that they take your hobbies, lifestyle, educational background, etc and connect you with a match that is well suited to your preferences and life.  The service was a disaster from day one.  Every date given to me was clearly just a pimp attempt.  None of the girls had similar interest than me.  Not a single one of my dates was local, and they were hardly in my region.

Date 1 location: 1 hour, 25 minutes away
Date 2 location: 2 hours, 20 minutes away
Date 3 location: 1 hour, 30 minutes away
Date 4 location: 1 hour, 30 minutes away
Date 5 location: 2 hours away
Date 6 location: 1 hour, 20 minutes away


The 6 dates that I was actually given were no closer than 1 hour away.  Notice I said SIX dates.  I was promised eight, but was only given six!  My director was pitiful the entire time, always breaking promises, etc.  On one occasion, my director even had me drive to Indianapolis (an hour and 25 minutes away) for a meeting and never showed up.  I managed to over look these problems and try to make the best of it.  The real problem has derived from the fact that they didnt give me all the dates that were promised, and no longer return my phone calls or other attempts to make contact.

I have asked the company for a refund because I have clearly been wronged.  They, like always, do not respond or make an attempt to satisfy me by providing me with the rest of my dates. I am in the process of pursuing legal action.  That is a LOT of money to waste on something like this.  It wasnt the best investment from day one (I acknowledge this) but if I were provided the things promised in the contact, I would be more apt to forget about my bad experience.

I will steer COMPLETELY CLEAR of this company.  If you're sold on using a dating service, opt for a simply online service such as Match or eHarmony.  Atleast with these companies, you can see your dates, ensure they will show up, and only spend a few bucks a month.

Skip Lunch: She is going to Court

AUTHOR: Wendy Wood - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, August 13, 2013

 Yesterday, Sunday August 11,  the NY Times Haggler did an editorial entitled "Skip Lunch: She's going to Court", suggest everyone read it, it is available online.

 I volunteer with a consumer advocacy group in San Francisco and we have had several IJL clients come forward with stories similar to the NY Times article.  Mostly women, all defrauded...some were able to charge back on their credit card the full amount of the service as they figured it out in enough time.

I have just written to the 60 minutes news team about IJL as it is just their type of story.  There are so many Rip Off reports on this group, it is difficult to read and replay to all of them.
