Question:

It seems as if meetup organizers are making a lot of money collecting fees. for instance, one meetup i joined has nearly 200 members. dues to meetup.com for the year are about about $190. she charges $15/person/year. she collects almost $3000/year. no cost for meeting space. no paid guest speakers. no refreshments. meetings are once a month for 2 hours. just the idea that this is not talked about up front puts me off. is there a policy about this?

Answer:

The site costs organizers 180 a year for meetup. Likely she runs another website for dating I would guess, and that costs her more. And I have no doubt she has insurance costs and may operated as a an LLC.

The title does not say anything about counselling or legal advice. Check with law enforcement on legal status of such a person and if it is fraudulent to do so in Canada.

Question:

Scam? Scam?

Answer:

No, Meetup.com has been around for over a decade. It is not a normal business in any sense. The only thing you need to know is that the organizers have free reign to build whatever "group" they would like as long as it violates no laws in the territory, province or state it operates in. And all members must be over 18 years of age everywhere in the world.
