Dear [redacted],
Thank you for your email. I'm sorry for any inconvenience you have experienced with your Zoosk subscription. Today we received your complaint from the Revdex.com so I have...

investigated your case and wanted to contact you directly.
I apologize for any confusion regarding Coins purchases on your profile. Our records show that you were provided with an option on July XX XXXX, via a splash page, asking if you would like to receive 50 free trial Coins by turning on Coins Auto Refill. Which if the user chooses to opt in, the user will automatically be charged for a new set of 180 Zoosk Coins for £ 14.99 when the user's Coin balance drops below 20 Coins. If the user chooses to opt out, the Coins will not refill unless the user manually makes a purchase. The charges you are referring to are refills for these Coins.
If you are not sure if your Coins will automatically refill, these settings can be changed anytime. From a computer, simply log in to www.zoosk.com and click your username menu at the top right of the page. Select "Settings" and then click "Coins". From this page, you can make adjustments to your Coins refill settings.
Per a conversation with a previous representative we have issued 6 Refunds of £ 14.99 each on Oct XX XXXX totaling £ 89.94. This was for Coins purchases that had taken place within 60 days of your the inquiry. Unfortunately we are unable to issue refunds for purchases over 60 days old. The major financial channels have provided a 60 day window for Merchants to perform any action. After this time period the Merchant's access to the transaction is either restricted or fully denied. We apologize for the inconvenience.
If you have any further questions, please refer to our Coins Help page: https://zoosk.zendesk.com/entries/XXXXXX
We apologize if there was any confusion regarding the Coin Auto-Refill feature.
Best regards,
[redacted] S.

Dear Mr. [redacted],
Thank you for your email. I'm sorry for any inconvenience you have experienced with your Zoosk subscription and any automatic renewals. Today we received your complaint...

from the Revdex.com so I have investigated your case and wanted to contact you directly.
Our records indicate that your subscription was purchased through your iTunes account, as an In-App purchase by using the Zoosk App for your iPhone or iPad. Unfortunately Apple has stipulated that all cancellations and billing inquiries need to be processed directly through their system. Apple also has not put a system in place for us to refund these types of unintended renewals.
We encourage you to contact iTunes, as a refund can only be issued by Apple.
If you wish to contact iTunes directly, Apple asks their customers to go through their menu system in order to resolve their issue. Please follow the link, which will take you to Apple's Customer Support page where you can send a support ticket directly to Apple:
https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
I hope this is helpful and please contact us if you have any other questions or need help with your Zoosk account. Thank you for your patience and we wish you all the best.

Dear [redacted].
Thank you for your email. I'm sorry for any inconvenience you have experienced with your Zoosk subscription. Today we received your complaint from the Revdex.com...

so I have investigated your case and wanted to contact you directly.
Unfortunately at this time we are unable to locate a Zoosk account using the email address you provided: [redacted]@gmail.com.
We look forward to assisting you, but we would need more information. Do you happen to have additional email addresses you may have used to create your Zoosk account? For example, if you added the Zoosk Application on Facebook, we would be able to look it up with the email associated with your Facebook account.
It would be helpful if you can share any additional information that will enable us to find your Zoosk account, such as a phone number if you validated with your mobile number or the number with which you signed up for SMS alerts.

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2014/03/10) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
This company is claiming to have no record of billing me. They are also claiming that thew were Adirondack fees agreed to, although the only amount I authorized to be billed was $24.99. The fact that this company has no record of who they're billing or the amounts the authorization was for is unacceptable. I deleted/deactivated my account with them Upon finding the erroneous amount of $54.99 billed to my bank account. No customer records (despite proving account details and offering bank statements), hidden fees, false advertisement, inability to provide prompt, friendly and helpful customer service - completely unacceptable (the customer is always right - customer service 101). I'm beyond livid worn the service I'm receiving from "[redacted]", I'm being fed canned answers and brushed away like an insect. I still cannot get through via telephone and am having to email with a passion who could care less about his job and the people he is supposed to be helping.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2014/03/13) */
The email address provided by the consumer does not match any accounts currently in our system. This may be because a different email address was used, or because the account was completely deleted, as was described by the consumer.
An opportunity was given to the consumer to provide additional information such as alternate email addresses or payment information in order to search our transaction history. The consumer chose not to provide any additional details.
In general a new subscription purchased on Zoosk will include a one time activation fee of $24.99, which is in addition to the regular fee for the time period chosen. This activation fee is clearly displayed at time of purchase before the purchase is completed by the customer. Gathering from the notes the consumer left in this complaint and our general pricing structure, most likely a 1 month subscription was purchased at $29.95. With the additional activation fee of $24.99 this would have come to a grand total of $54.94.
We regret that the fee structure, as it was displayed at the time of purchase, was not clear to the customer, but unfortunately are not able to assist any further without the necessary information provided.
Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 11, 2014/03/14) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I was never asked to provide bank information, I offered to provide bank transactions as proof of billing and "[redacted]" declined my request to forward that information. I was never advised of any "additional" fees at the time of sign up, there was no fine print and no neon sign, rather one fee shown of $24.99 for one month. I do not accept this as resolved as this company had not worked with me, has insulted me, has falsely advertised, baited ams switched. I have been making consumers in my area aware of their Bair ams switch tactic with regards to culling and am finding out I'm not the only one this company had scammed. I'm not satisfied and do not consider this revolved. The email address used was [redacted]@gmail.com. The last four digits of the credit card used are 3615, the user name was themissmoxie. The fact this company is only partially keeping record of their business transactions is disturbing - especially since everyone knows this day and age nothing is ever permanently deleted.

Dear [redacted],
Thank you for your email. I'm sorry for any inconvenience you have experienced with your Zoosk subscription. Today we received your complaint from the Revdex.com so I...

have investigated your case and wanted to contact you directly.
Our records indicate that you purchased a 1-month Subscription on Sep XX XXXX . The purchase you are referring is the renewal of that Subscription. I apologize for any confusion concerning the renewal of your Subscription. All Zoosk Subscriptions paid for with a credit or debit card automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle. However, our records indicate that your Subscription has been canceled successfully.
Zoosk's renewal policy is outlined during the purchase process. The renewal terms that appear on the purchase page are available here: http://www.zoosk.com/autorenewterms. They are also available in the Terms of Service http://www.zoosk.com/tos and the Help section https://zoosk.zendesk.com
We realize you are not satisfied with your purchase, so we have canceled your Subscription and requested a refund of $ 8.09 for the renewal of that Subscription. The refund will be issued directly to the credit card or account you used to make the purchase. Please allow 5-10 business days for the refund to process.
Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention. I do hope we were able to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

[redacted]@tcu.edu or [redacted]@gmail.com have been used to identify the account that client is under. However, no account is found under both email addresses so the client is confused as to how he is able to be billed for an account with no email address. Lack of a working telephone system within the "Zoosk" building that brings the client to an actual human being would be helpful.

Our records indicate that you have full access to Subscriber benefits and have been in communication with other members.
We understand you would like to know more about how Connections work on Zoosk.
Connections are a way to keep track of who you chat with on Zoosk and to see if they are online at the same time as you. You may make a connection by sending a message to someone and getting their reply. You can also simply click the "Add+" button.
If the person you reached out to accepts the Chat Request and you are both Subscribers, you will both be able to chat with each other on the Zoosk website, Zoosk Messenger, and your mobile device. Free Members will only have access to select introductory messages and will have limited messaging.
I understand you are inquiring about our SmartPick feature.
Your Zoosk profile has many features that increase your ability to contact other Zooskers. One of these features is the Zoosk SmartPick feature which evaluates compatibility between Zoosk members. SmartPick is smart and learns from your "yes" and "no" votes to make better match recommendations in the future. Answering the SmartPick Survey will also improve your match results.
Here's how it works:
1. Review the profile that was selected for you based upon your profile description as soon as you can, as they are time-sensitive.
2. Decide if you're interested and vote "yes" or "no."
3. Your vote stays private unless you both vote "yes," in which case you'll get the good news by email as well as a message in your Zoosk inbox.
4. SmartPick is adaptive. Please review your matches and vote every day, as SmartPick learns about your preferences over time to find your best match.

Please note that if you are having trouble connecting to Zoosk Messenger this could be the result of a firewall or security software which may prevent the program from connecting properly. If you decide to come back to Zoosk and would like further assistance in this matter please feel free to contact via our support line. Users in the United States and Canada may contact us by phone using our toll free number: 1-888-We-Zoosk (X-XXX-XXX-XXXX) during our live phone support hours from 8am-5pm Monday through Friday, Pacific Time.

We are happy to have had you as a Zoosk Subscriber. Our records reflect that you purchased a Subscription on Jul XX XXXX . Along with your Subscription cost, there was a one-time Activation Fee that was included in the total purchase price. As a courtesy to you, we are refunding the Activation Fee in the amount of $ 24.99 .
The refund is issued directly to the credit card or account used to make the purchase. After a refund is issued, it may take 5-10 business days to post to an account. The time will vary depending on the original payment method, the currency used to make the purchase, and your country of residence.

As you have requested, your Zoosk profile has been Deactivated. Your profile is no longer visible in the search field and you will no longer be contacted on your Zoosk account as it is no longer active. To ensure that the account is not reactivated, please refrain from opening any Zoosk Notifications emails that you may receive over the next 48 hours. Performing certain actions on the content within these emails can possibly reactivate your account.
Upon deactivation:
- Your profile and your photo will no longer be visible to Members
- Members can no longer reply to your prior flirts
- You will no longer have access to messages in your account
- You will lose all of your Zoosk Connections
- You will no longer have access to any Coins purchased

Thank you for your email. I'm sorry for any inconvenience you have experienced with your Zoosk subscription. Today we received your complaint from the Revdex.com so I...

have investigated your case and wanted to contact you directly.
I'm sorry that your recent experience on Zoosk didn't entirely meet your expectations. We realize that dating can be tricky. So at Zoosk our goal is to make things as fun and easy as possible. We are always working to maintain a community in which users feel comfortable to date their way, whether they want to browse, flirt, or find a soul mate. If you think there is something we can improve upon in order to provide you with a better experience in the future, please feel free to let us know.
Our records indicate that you purchased a 6-Month Subscription on Feb XX XXXX, then cancelled the renewal of your Subscription on Mar X XXXX, you then requested a full cancellation and Deactivation on Mar XX XXXX when you still had time left on your Subscription. After this time you then reactivated your profile and again requested a Deactivation of your profile on May XX XXXX. Once a profile is Deactivated, this profile is removed from Zoosk personals and no longer visible to other members.
The following happens upon Deactivation:
- Your profile and your photo will no longer be visible to Members
- Members can no longer reply to your prior flirts
- You will no longer have access to messages in your account
- You will lose all of your Zoosk Connections
- You will no longer have access to any Coins purchased
I apologize for any confusion concerning your profile information. Zoosk is not affiliated with any other Dating Services and as such would not provide any information to these other services. If you have a profile with a different Dating service I would recommend contacting them to inquire as to how this information was obtained and how to go about removing this information as again we are not affiliated with any other Dating services.
Unfortunately you have disputed these charges with PayPal and as such our ability to issue a refund is removed pending PayPal's investigation. At this point it then becomes the decision of PayPal as to whether a refund is to be issued or not. Although I am unable to issue a refund, I would be happy to reactivate your profile and provide you with the Subscription time that you have lost during your Deactivation. If you would like to accept this offer please respond tot his email and let me know.
Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention. I do hope we were able to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

PayPal has turned this dispute over to Discover Card, so they are no longer disputing this. Discover Card has contacted Zoosk and denied refund. I want Zoosk to refund the money to my Discover Card. It seems very odd that pictures I submitted to Zoosk have showed up on match.com. I have not been able to contact match.com to ask how they acquired my information.

Hello XXXXXXXXXXX,
I'm sorry for any inconvenience you have experienced with the unauthorized charges associated with your Discover card. Today we received your complaint from the Better...

Business Bureau so I have investigated your case and wanted to contact you directly.
The Zoosk Customer Service team will be happy to investigate any fraudulent charges to your credit card that you may have incurred. However, in order to investigate these charges, we would need to locate the account using the first 6 and last 4 digits of the credit card involved. Once we locate the account, we're able to confirm unauthorized activity and block the account to prevent further access to it. We will also be able to refund any transactions associated with the credit card on file within the normal 60 day refund window available to online merchants.
For your safety, however, Zoosk cannot divulge information about the account that used the credit card (for example: we're unable to release the email address, registered location, or any other personal contact information on file within the account). This type of information required a legal subpoena to obtain. In these cases, we are happy to work with any law enforcement agency investigating your case.
While Zoosk is typically able to investigate and refund fraudulent charges to your credit card, we're unfortunately unable to refund an amount we did not charge you for directly (for example: monetary compensation for inconvenience and interest paid to your credit card).
To discuss these charges further, please feel free to contact our Customer Service team.

Dear [redacted],
Thank you for your email. I'm sorry for any inconvenience you have experienced with your Zoosk subscription. Today we received your complaint from the Revdex.com so I...

have investigated your case and wanted to contact you directly.
Please note that the email address provided in this complaint([redacted]) is not the email address connected with your profile([redacted]), which may have resulted in an issue with any previous attempts to cancel. I was however in this case able to locate your profile with the phone number that was provided in your complaint to the Revdex.com.
We realize you are not satisfied with your purchase, so we have canceled your Subscription and requested two refunds of $ 29.95 . The refund will be issued directly to the credit card or account you used to make the purchase. Please allow 5-10 business days for the refund to process.
We appreciate the fact that you were a Subscriber, however, we are unable to issue refunds for purchases over 60 days old. The major financial channels have provided a 60 day window for Merchants to perform any action. After this time period the Merchant's access to the transaction is either restricted or fully denied. We apologize for the inconvenience.
I apologize for any confusion concerning the renewal of your Subscription. All Zoosk Subscriptions paid for with a credit or debit card automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle. However, our records indicate that your Subscription has been canceled successfully.
Zoosk's renewal policy is outlined during the purchase process. The renewal terms that appear on the purchase page are available here: http://www.zoosk.com/autorenewterms. They are also available in the Terms of Service http://www.zoosk.com/tos and the Help section https://zoosk.zendesk.com

Dear [redacted],
Thank you for your email. I'm sorry for any inconvenience you have experienced with your Zoosk subscription. Today we received your complaint from the Revdex.com so I have...

investigated your case and wanted to contact you directly.
We realize you are not satisfied with your purchase, so we have canceled your Subscription and requested a refund of $ 44.94. The refund will be issued directly to the credit card or account you used to make the purchase. Please allow 5-10 business days for the refund to process.
The Carousel is an optional fun game designed to allow users to see the photo and age of other Zooskers and allows them to decide whether they would like to meet you. If you are looking through possible future matches on Carousel, and you are interested, selecting "yes" or "maybe" will send the other member a notification stating that you would like to meet them and ask them if they would like to meet you as well. If you are not interested in meeting a particular Zoosker, simply choose "no" and move to the next person.
When you select "yes" and the other member also selects "yes", this creates a Mutual Match. Once either of you would like to view the profile, the Carousel will ask you or the other Zoosker to pay the allotted number of Zoosk Coins to unlock the other Zoosker's profile. Upon unlocking a Mutual Match, you will have access to that Zoosker's profile and you can begin chatting with the user. Once the profile is unlocked, you will not be asked to pay again to see their profile.
I apologize for any confusion however, Zoosk does not create fake profiles. We have a team devoted to locating and removing fake profiles to create a fun and safe environment to meet, date, and potentially find a soul mate. I hope this answers your concern, please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention. I do hope we were able to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I appreciate your reply however it does not address my original complaint: When I wrote you, I did not originally ask for cancelation - I asked if I could stop the recurring charge (as I didn't want to be billed again) but still use the site until the month expired. Instead you canceled my account completely and I lost access. In the course of a few hours someone apparently reactivated my account and I was able to use the service again.
My chief concern is that I do not want to be billed again and only use the service for the one month period.
Thanks,
[redacted]

To clarify the situation, our records show you requested a refund in your Revdex.com Complaint which supersedes any email complaints issued otherwise. As we were issuing a refund for the Service we then Cancel the Subscription.
However after receiving an email request from you stating that wanted to continue to use the service we then extended an additional courtesy and reactivated your Subscription as well as issuing the refund.
Thank you again for bringing this matter to our attention. I do hope we were able to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

Our Zoosk blog has a cool post explaining different types of photos that may be removed from the site (including examples). Here is where you can find examples and explanations: http://blog.zoosk.com/2012/05/17/making-the-most-of-your-online-dating-profile-p...⇄ /> We have established profile photo guidelines in order to maintain high standards for safety and quality.
