Prideroommates.com Is An Advertising Scam! Deceptive advertising lying about the number of roommates and will spam you forever Internet

This is in response to a post by Mark from Dallas.

Dear Mark,

I'm sorry that you were unable to find a roommate through our service but I can assure you and everyone else that PrideRoommates is most certainly not a scam. We have been serving the gay community since 2003. Please allow me to address each of your points:

You began your complaint by stating that beacause you received only one response from a member who told you they were not interested then no one on the site was looking for roommates. I'm sorry but PrideRoommates cannot control if members choose not to respond to you or respond that they are not interested. Thousands of gay members have found roommates through our service for over 4 years.

To confirm that we do indeed have active members in the Dallas, Texas area which I assume is your location, I checked our database and as of September 23, 2007 at 6pm, there are 62 members looking for rooms and 26 members listing their apartments/rooms who have logged in within the last 30 days.

I have not had one complaint from any of them.

You then state in your post that we must be sending out emails from fake members who were looking at your profile. This is absolutely not true. The
only time you receive emails from PrideRoommates are when real-time actions take place such as when a member views your profile, emails you, sends you an
instant message, adds you as a favorite or takes notes about you. This is in order to alert you that someone might be interested in your room or you as a
roommate. You can easily opt-out of any of these by logging in and clicking 'email notification' and then simply unchecking them. This notice is actually displayed in every email you receive. Here is an example:

If you received poor customer service than I apologize for that but we normally get high marks in that area from our other members.

You mentioned that you paid for 3 months. Our membership is a monthly subscription which can be cancelled anytime. Therefore, I'm not clear on why
you continued your membership for 3 months if you were not satisfied or suspected a scam.

Most importantly, you mentioned in your post that we need to protect each other in this community. I completely agree and I find it very disappointing that you would attack a resource for the community like PrideRoommates and accuse us of being a scam. My mother and her partner are gay so that comment is
especially hurtful.

In any case, since I cannot contact you through this forum and don't know who you are, you can contact me personally at partners@prideroommates.com. Please
put Attn: Adam - PrideRoommates in your subject line. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,

Adam
