I have had a subscription to Classmates.com for a number of years, off and on. Over the past two years, I’ve noticed troubling "visits" and "remembrances" to my "profile." Classmates.com uses these "visits" and "remembrances" to make the subscriber believe that folks from high school days are reaching out and wanting to connect. Names of these folks are not displayed unless the member’s subscription is up to date.
First…I have received "visits" from people who have never even gone to my high school!
Second…and more troubling…Classmates.com claims that folks from high school days "remember" the subscriber with various tags. In my case, I was listed as "Crush-Worthy" by another female classmate. When I asked her about this, she replied that she did visit my "Profile" but never submitted that "remembrance." In another case, I was described as "Kind" and "Athletic" by a fellow from my high school class…which I also believe to be untrue…based on my third issue.
This same fellow from high school has supposedly visited my "profile" 11 times since Jan. 1, 2017. Foolishly believing that he was, in fact, interested in my profile, after all these years, I began sending him emails. None have been read, and I’ve asked Classmates.com to delete them ASAP…now that I know that Classmates.com generated the visits. Even after complaining to Classmates.com about this, I received yet another visit from this same fellow on May 9, 2017…unbelievable!
I would like to shut this dishonest and unethical company down. I would like to file a claim against them in Small Claims court. I also plan to contact the Attorney General in Washington to see what legal actions can be taken against them. Any advice from you regarding further actions would be greatly appreciated.
