The Allied Network is a dating service company located in Toronto, Canada.
The CBC program Marketplace recently did a show focusing on this company and the sleazy way they do business.
The service is riddled with many secret loopholes designed to separate older lonely people from their money - and they gouge a lot of money from individuals - up to $30, 000 for a dating contract.
The basic trick is that older unattractive people who can afford it are charged hefty fees for a fixed number of dates. But younger attractive women and older successful men are offered the same service for hugely reduced rates - essentially for free.
In this way, they are able to arrange a few dates for some of the older unattractive people who then cannot complain they were robbed because they did get a few dates.
But the bottom line is that these miscreants just charge whatever the traffic will bear and they take advantage of older lonely people and give them the high-pressure sales pitch to get them to pony up a credit card and pay a huge amount of money. In many cases, the victims are left holding a huge credit card debt for years. Very often they can never pay it off.
The entire business is dispicable and the owners ought to be jailed for a long, long time.
