[After] I had been a member for a few weeks, I suddenly met my current boyfriend through non-eHarmony means, and by the second or third date, I cancelled my eHarmony membership.
But Neil Clark Warren never seemed to quite get the message! … This morning I got an email with the subject, “eHarmony: Nudge.” It appears that someone named Michael in Hoboken [in New Jersey] was still able to see me on the site, and wanted to remind me to renew my full membership so that he could talk to me. ONE YEAR AND SIX MONTHS AFTER I TERMINATED MY MEMBERSHIP. Don’t they automatically boot out your profile after that? … When I first quit my membership, was he rubbing his hands together and laughing, “You’ll be back! There’s no way this’ll last! You’re helpless without me! HELPLESS! You need me to find you a good Jesus-loving boy in New Jersey!”
One of the comments in the article, from Jamie, had this insight:
What you have to do is write something really offensive and sexually reprehensible on your profile. They have little eHarmony bots whose job it is to make sure that everyone is clean and straight. They’ll send you an email telling you to change your profile or else they won’t send you any more matches. And voila.
It worked for me, at least.
What’s YOUR experience with eHarmony spam?
