There is no unsubscribe button from their massive amounts of email nor could I find a place on their website where I could sign in and change preferences. Please someone sue them

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

1) They don't tell you upfront that you have to PAY to receive potential roommate contact info

2) There is not button to unsubscribe from their dumb match emails (that all ask you to pay).

This site is complete and utter garbage, do not register!

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

There is no unsubscribe button, and I've sent them numerous emails requesting cancellation. But every day, more emails.

They may be a legitimate service, but I'll eat my own shoe before I give them any of my hard-earned bucks.

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

They will send you anyone, absolutely anyone, who is looking for a roommate in your geographical area, regardless of "compatibility". Their percentage ratings are garbage. And if you complain they tell you you're being "too picky".

Once they have your money they have zero motivation to actually help you find a compatible roommate. I never found anyone even remotely decent through this service.

I STRONGLY recommend NOT using this service!

Joined the site and it has been a total waste of time. They match you for 'free' with potential roommates who you then have to pay to communicate with, problem, there is no communication. I enquired about this and got the rudest email back, seemed to be composed by a delinquent 12 year old. I would recommend only to stay away from this site, they need to be reported as fakes.

I DON'T recommend RoomieMatch.com I was using it for a few days then decided to pay the $19.95 fee on a Friday afternoon. It took them THREE DAYS to send me my receipt. The whole time I was wondering if the charge worked or not. I was ready to do a charge dispute when they finally got to me on Monday afternoon. Aren't most people, whether they're employed or students, going to be using the weekends to do a lot of their roommate searches? Three days to get a receipt is ridiculous.

Then they had the nerve to LECTURE me in a long email, when I wanted to restrict the high volume of emails they were sending me by only getting profiles of roommates in my age range (over 50). Sorry, but this is someone I'll be living with. I have a right to want them to be someone I can relate to, not someone young enough to be a grandchild. After the lecture, they ignored my wishes and have been sending me all the profiles anyway.

STAY AWAY FROM ROOMIEMATCH!

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

These idiots will not stop sending me matches even after I've asked them numerous to cease and desist. None of the "matches" they have sent were even close to a match geographically or otherwise. It hasn't cost anything but my time, but I don't like that to be wasted any more than my money.

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.

I can't tell if the people behind Roomiematch.com are just a bit eccentric, or actual rip-off merchants, but either way, they made me incredibly wary about handing over my credit card details to them.

Even if you ignore the 90s style web design, dated stock photos and shall we say 'unique' way the site works, ("no you can't search for other users. Its much more efficient if we email you matches one by one. Honestly, its just better this way. Trust us.") theres still something that feels a little 'off' about the site. There are pages and pages of advice telling you to be wary of scammers, how you just can't trust people on other sites, and how their way is the only way you can avoid getting ripped off. It all feels like they're protesting a little bit too much.

"But hey, maybe their heart's in the right place," I thought, and I was getting a lot of matches, so I thought I'd upgrade and see if any of them were worth contacting. One look at their payment page put me off that. For a start, the title at the top of the online payment screen says 'clone of... (Read the full review)

These guys gave me some seemingly great matches. After I paid to get their contact info, I found ALL OF THEM said they already found places and were trying to get out of the database for a few months. After contacting their customer service, they said it was the users' way of "Netiquette", and they were trying to spare my feelings, but my profile was "EXTREMELY restrictive". The customer service not only was helpless, they were also incredibly rude and made it seem like I was a bad person, EVEN THOUGH the matches they gave me were all at least 85% match or higher. Essentially, this came off as an obvious scam. They took my money and ran, and told me it was my fault for having a bad profile.

In summary, I would not recommend Roomie Match to a friend.
