The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Maureen Tara Nelson during an onsite inspection held by a third-party verification company with no biases towards MTN Matchmaking.

MTN Matchmaking is a matchmaking service that is dedicated to helping people find a healthy and lasting relationship. Maureen Tara Nelson stated the following about her company, "We have a very thorough screening process we are not for everyone. And I can’t accept everyone because if I did I would be like the other companies that have been out there that have all gone out of business for doing the wrong thing. My model is to do a criminal felony background check in every state on all of my clients. Then as the owner, they come to me and meet with me personally and I give them a free consultation because I need to make sure that I think I can help them. The screening process when I meet with them I make sure that everyone is a nice decent, quality, positive person, emotionally stable. I am an executive level certified matchmaker and there are only a few of us in the country."

Leads for MTN Matchmaking are primarily obtained through television appearances on NBC, CBS, HBO, and A&E. Additionally, they advertise through print, commercials, and social media. Ms. Nelson proceeded to explain the sales and services process for her clients, "What a client can expect is a free consultation where I go through the screening process with them. Then they come in and I have to get to know their personality to the point that I am matching them with 3 parts of compatibility. This is my own private method I do it by hand I don't do it by a computer algorithm. On the interview, they will know about the screening process and how I do the matching by 3 parts of compatibility. They also have homework to do before they come in they have to think about what their 5 best qualities are. Then they have to think of what the 5 must haves are for the man or woman. They are also asked to wear something nice because if they like the program I will take their photo. So, I meet with them for an hour but the longest interview I have had was 4 hours because sometimes. I do a tiny personality test at my home office. Everyone leaves here with a packet that goes over all the information of what we go over here. They get a welcome letter, they get a letter on what to expect as a client and the most important thing is a list of do’s and don't s in dating. Then once they tell me Yes I love the program then we go over the different program. I have 5 programs for them to choose from ranging in price from $995 up to a celebrity program as well. If a person is celebrity lives here on Long Island my prices are $6500 which may seem like a lot to a person who is an accountant let's say but they won't pay that unless they are a celebrity. And then I go into how it works. If a person is compatible in 3 ways as well as having the 5 must-haves they will get an email on Tuesday evenings with the person's photo and a little bio about them and their only job is to say yes or no."



CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION – MTN MATCHMAKING

MTN Matchmaking was asked to describe a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Ms. Nelson explained that there are no guarantees in the matchmaking world. She additionally stated, "I will always do my best I will match you appropriately and make sure they have your 5 must haves but there are things I do not have control over. I do not have control over if a woman or man say yes to each other. I don't have control over if you go out on a date with a man and you are very nasty to the wait staff. Those are on you and those are the ones that complain. I bring them back to the point of what it was like to date without Maureen? So with people, there are times that they come in and they are unhappy. If they tell me about it soon I can fix it but there are some people that they came in acting positively and they were not. I can’t help people like that. If they are patient, open-minded, and positive I can help them."

When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Ms. Nelson expressed that the comments made were false and didn't align with her business model. Ms. Nelson stated the follow to assure future and current clients, "I am an executive level certified matchmaker and there are only a few of us in the country and that is through the Institute of Matchmaking. Then they will see every year we win Dan’s papers which is primarily Suffolk county here on Long Island for best dating service. What they factor in is Match.com and every kind of dating service out there. These awards are people that vote in. I am up against Tinder and all those swipe apps. For Nassau and Suffolk county combined there is the biggest award for every business owner. I think there are 3000 categories of businesses. What they do is they pick the top 3 that people vote in for. Every year I have come in the top 3. We were just notified this year that we came in first place. We are super excited because that is huge! I have citations from controllers on long island...the politicians...the county clerks. They can't be bought off and these are people in the community that have said hey there is a matchmaker here on Long Island who goes above and beyond for her clients and has given me awards. I have an A+ rating with the BBB. I am also a certified wedding officiant."

MTN Matchmaking is proud to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. Ms. Nelson stated the following, "I am honored because I couldn’t love what I do more. I am very blessed with what I do and with your program, you are giving me a chance to speak from my heart about what I do for my clients. Those few in owning my business for 12 years is a great record in the scheme of things but it is still too many for me. I work hard to make my clients happy and successful because our clients are family to us. I think that you are going to be able to be my voice and say we know this person and she only have love in her heart. I know that every day I do everything that I can do for my clients. So I don't know of anything more I could do for my clients. I love what I do. I hope that I am honored that you have this so that you can help me spread that positivity.

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maureen Tara Nelson mtnmatchmaking@aol.com, mtnelson@optonline.net, mtnmatchmaking@aol.com Melville, New York

When I first joined this service I was told that there were over a thousand active members, in which, most of them were women.  I sat in Maureen's office for over an hour dicussing what I was looking for, Petite, athletic, and average, plus what I am looking for in a woman.  I also made it clear that she should be no taller than 5 feet 5 inches and not be a smoke and no more than a social drinker.  The rest was just like any other guy, I love to do just about anything. 

My background is from an affluent family.  I am well educated. My salary is over 150,000 a year, I am well traveled, and I am at a good weight and am a decent looking guy.  What I lack is height at 5'7".  Maureen assured me that that is not what the women are looking for (I know the truth).  I trusted her and gave a thousand dollars. I was so excited to finding the right woman.  Then reality came. Weeks and then Months- nothing.  Even after I called several times and sent several emails. I was told, I was told there is no match for me. Next, I was given a choice that absolutely did not match what we discussed, her being a heavy smoker, living close to 2 1/2 hours of driving time, and was 5' 9"s. 

The second choice also was not what we discussed in my profile with you. The third choice, which was a normal average woman, I fealt great that finally I can say yes, even though she lived 40 miles away from me, then never heard from her again, which when I called I found out she said no.  I was never sent a formal email or response. So with over a thousand members, you can't find me one choice and the first two were just thrown in as a filler, because like I said, they were not what we discussed in my profile.  Now I am angry, and also feel bad trying to find someone nice.

I am requested  my money back and part ways. She said no-way.I feel that Maureen took my money and told me what I wanted to hear in order for me to become a member.  I am sure I am right about this- A thousand members and really, not one possibe choice when I am a new member~ Last she claims that sometimes I will receive three choices in one day because there are soooooooooooo many similar women? It doesn't make sense. It's Christmas, and not one legit date.  I have pics and and a lot of email correspondance and excuses for anyone to see if they email me at (((redacted))) .

#3 Consumer Comment

Same Situation

AUTHOR: hockeyplayer - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, February 02, 2013

I paid $1500 back in Feb of 2012, I was told there were so many matches for me, well its now Feb 2013 and I have been on 3 dates only in a year.  Maybe one of them is what I was looking for in my profile, they just send me random girls who have nothing in common with me or nothing what I am looking for.  My last date was back in April of 2012 and I have maybe received 12 matches  sent to me since then and I have said yes to most of them, only saying no to like 3 girls but I have not had a date since April.  So obviously they are all saying no to me, I am not a hideous looking person. 

The thing I lack is height I am 5'5 but like the other post said she said that wouldn't be a problem. I was also told I would receive a few choices a weekend.  I to asked for my money back, but they divert that question.   But still in  40 weeks and over 1200 clients I only get about 12 matches.  Something is wrong.   They think this is negativity and they don't like negativity saying this is why no girls want to date you, but they say no before they even speak to me so how would they know if I am a negative person or not.  I think I have a right to be annoyed after spending that much money on a service that basically lies to its clients.

#2 REBUTTAL Owner of company

Personal rebuttal to all reports

AUTHOR: Maureen - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, October 25, 2012

For anyone who may be reading the reports filed on my company I want everyone to know that any and all reports that you have seen on my company "Maureen Tara Nelson Private Matchmaking"  have been resolved.  I believe in making my clients happy, and I will do everything possible to make my clients happy as quickly as possible,so there is never an issue that I will not resolve.  I have been successfully matchmaking for over 12 years with over 1,000 success stories.  My clients are like family, and as in families there are emotional ties that go along with this.  Because emotions are involved as you can see there are a few people that did write about a negative experience they have had.  You can see by thier quick reaction of taking back the complaint that I have always addressed these issues and always put my clients needs first.  My clients know I will do everything in my power to make them successful and that is why I have 1,000 success stories.  If you come into my office you will read hundreds of letter from my successful clients.  I have worked with thousands of clients over the past 12 years.  Can I make every single person successful?  I try my very best.  Thank you, Maureen Tara Nelson
