My Social Calendar

I bought a membership for lifetime The calendar of the social group has been empty One or two people show up to the events
I paid $via credit card

Like every other thing there is this concept works great as long as you make sure to use itI have found that the staff at MSC really does know what they're doing in terms of community engagementsI have received replies back to my emails for event suggestions as late (or as early) as 3:30amThey want to make sure you receive the full benefit of what they offerThe events are really uniqueDo not expect to be attending things that you can simply find on Groupon all of the timeLast year I tried a Fire Eating Workshop as well as a Stunt ClassThose are two things I would have never set up for myself being a busy professionalThere are other events for the less adventurous tooI have connected with a bunch of folks for networking purposes and their claims that members are single and stay open to dating have proven true in my case, so I would therefore recommend My Social Calendar to friends an colleagues

The company broke the terms of the contract when I moved and no longer could use their services and will not reply to refund my money
Per the terms of the contract with HGEG LLC doing business as My Social Calendar, I have right to cancel my membership if my principle residence is miles from the Originating Center to which My Social Calendar has transferred my membershipI must provide proof of movement with documentsI moved from Boston, MA to Columbus, Ohio and provided necessary change of address proof to the companyDespite contacting my representative and the billing department multiple times by email (because there is no working phone number listed on the website, and the number in the contract leads to a telemarketing service) I have not received ANY attempt to resolve my issue and issue a refundBefore my move, I also put my account on hold, which was permissible via the contract for monthsI want credited back my funds from my hold period through the end of the

I joined My Social Calendar on 12/29/and paid $I never experienced what they promised and I want a refund
When I joined this organization I was told that they had hundreds of members and many were in my age group of early 30'sWhen I attended my first four events, barely a dozen members showed up and none were in my age groupThe youngest members were in their mid 40's and most were in their 50'sWhen you promise something that you cannot possibly provide, you are committing fraudNow when I ask for my refund they say that the contract makes no provision for a refund based on these conditionsBut they lied to me about what they were capable of offeringI stopped going after the fourth event because I felt so emotionally and physically out of place

My Social Calendar would not let me cancel my membership 12/29/They are now trying to send to collections and have me buy out contract
My Social Calendar would not let me buy out of my contract December after requesting to either buy out or cancel my membershipI have the same credit card I signed up withI got one notification e-mail, 12/20/that states MSC tried to charge my credit card (which they have not) for ~$800, which is untrue, the membership was $for yearsThey said I can now buy out of the contract for $(which is ironic) otherwise they are sending me to collectionsI have never received any warnings from this businessI believe they are a scam and fraud and do not have consumer rights in mind

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: The organization's website (http://mysocialcalendar.com/locations/) does not provide individual contact information for each of the business's locationThere are three toll-free numbers provided on the site, which cover all of the organization's locationsIf the different locations are independently owned, then why are there common toll-free numbers and no individual contact addresses/individuals provided on the organization's website? The main corporate office should have some oversight of the different locations.I have sent a separate email to the email address provided by the respondent and have also filed a separate complaint with the New Jersey Board of Consumer AffairsIf it is necessary for the Revdex.com to transfer the complaint to the Manhattan office, I ask that this be done

They closed the local chapter of My Social Calendar where I was a member without any noticeI want a refund of my membership dues
I renewed my annual membership to My Social Calendar ManhattanOn 11/6/17, they charged me $on my MasterCard for my duesMy new year started January 8, They closed the chapter at the end of AprilI only found out because I logged on to their website and it said the chapter was no longer activeThere is no contact information on their webs except for a phone number which is out of serviceEvery email I have sent to their employees has either bounced back as undeliverable or has gone unanswered, including to the owner Randy Gardner, ***@mysocialcalendar.comI reached out to other chapters but they don't have any informationI want a refund for the unused months, $

The services described to me when I signed up are not what was deliveredI feel the sales person misrepresented their servicesI want a refund
The person who sold me the membership said their was one of their "event planners" at each eventThis is not trueInstead their are other members who volunteer to run the eventThis is totally different then saying you have professional event planners running your events and a misrepresentation of their services Their events are also just members gathering together at public events which is totally different than saying their company plans events I could just walk into any of these public events and pay to get into them without joining a social service or paying a membership feeTheir so called volunteers who are at the events not event coordinators and do a very poor job of running the business For weeks I have been calling to complain about their services I get hung up on and get the run around from everyone I try to speak to

This place is a rip off and a scam and does not get back to you! The phone doesn't even work!
They sent me a "final" notice saying they were going to send me to collections for an amount that does not even make senseThey never sent me an email before this so I don't know how It is finalI tried calling and only get an answering machine and no one will get back to meI have been fighting with them since almost done one and they are ridiculous

I paid $for a three year membership in February and $for my son's membership in December As of April 2018, there have been no activities and I am not getting the services which I paid for

Dear Sir or Madam,
On September 14, I had a 45+ minute phone interview with Director of Communications Katy Flynn I was very excited to purchase a membership after our phone conversation, but my actual membership experience has turned out very poorlyI am writing to express my dissatisfaction with your service in hopes you can help remedy the situation

My personal account of my experience with this company has truly been nothing but positiveI joined in the Boston location in mid-August and was concerned about price vsvalue, as I am a single Dad with primary custodyUltimately I made the decision to join as an outlet to have something planned and organized for those rare days when I found myself with nothing to doLike many of us, I used to be extremely active, but between work (I manage a Hospital) and my son, life leaves little time for socializing or finding someone to date AKA "adult time." I know many are keen on social media and online dating nowadays, but I prefer to see how someone interacts in a social setting so this approach has been working wellI have attended several events, some small, some large, but I have to say that the staff I worked with made this experience worth every pennyI joined with Katy and there has not been one question left unanswered thusfarI would recommend to anyone joining to utilize the concierge service provided to the fullest by asking for personalized suggestions each month instead of picking at random Overall, A+

I cancelled my service the day I signed up (12/7/2016) and was promised a refund in to weeks
I signed up for My Social Calendar December 7th, I paid $by credit card over the phoneI decided I did not want to spend the money and had no time to participate in the servicesThe associate Jase promised me my money back in to weeksI have made several calls a week for the past month and have not heard back

My Social Calendar was a thorough and huge disappointment. The marketing was heavily misrepresented, especially by the radio, phone interview, and in person interview. I was led to believe that his group was more exclusive and for young professionals in the DC area; however, the people in this group has a wide range of ages, most of them being significantly older than me, and I have been harassed by men who are in their 60s. I am not ready to hang out with people in their 50s and 60s. In addition, I was also told that there are background checks done on members but I have learned that some members have previous jail time or are mentally unstable. These are not the young professionals I was hoping to meet. I was hoping to meet people my age or that shared similar interest, but I have been unsuccessful due to the above. Also, not many people show up to the events and they lock you into a CONTRACT. This should be a red flag to anyone.

The group is very highly priced and it also had a monthly charge. The pricing changed right after I joined to a significantly less amount. I tried to get feedback and refunded so that I could leave the group after only being a member for less than two months, but customer service is NONEXISTANT. it is nearly impossible to get in contact with anyone.

The events they choose are good but half seem to get canceled. Interesting concept but nowhere near worth cost investment. Hopefully this will help someone not make the same mistake. This is one of my biggest financial regrets. Do not join this group.

I am hoping to get a partial refund since I have only been to three or four events.

[redacted],The DC phone number is ###-###-#### and is a call center in Richmond VA which other locations use, my office is at [redacted], McLean VA. We meet all of our members in person! Did you go to the DC office for an interview? Please feel free to call the number and ask for manhattan and see for yourself. The Manhattan offices call center's number is ###-###-#### and there call center is in South Florida. We are 2 separate companies. I am sorry you are upset but Manhattan, Boston and South Florida are all owned by the same person and there phone number is all the same ###-###-####. I have no access to the Manhattan members or there calendar. The mysocialcalendar website is owned by a company called [redacted] and we all pay a fee to use the website. These are franchises do you understand?My personal phone number is ###-###-#### I have no problem explaining and trying to get you in touch with who you need but you are not a member in the DC club.Best Regards,Nanci G[redacted]
