“Easy Roommate becomes ROOMGO”

Jay B.
1/31/19

Be careful. They will change the name soon. They will continue scamming people under the new name. Always check first before you pay. Once you pay, they will ask more to put your list on top. Some of people on the list looking for room are probably in heaven or hell. They also changed my address on my ad. If you paid already, ask your bank to help you get your money back which I did.

... when you read the fine print. Why the ASA hasn't sanctioned them is beyond me. They claim not to be an Advertiser, but other than Advertising properties and taking money from both sides of the transaction, what do they actually do? Could someone please clarify?

Please refund my Premium Membership funds. You are scamming people into believing that this site can actually match individuals seeking a room with individuals offering places to live. What you do not disclose is that despite the fact that I, as a Premium Member, may contact any of the individuals offering rooms - what is not disclosed is that they, in return, cannot contact me back without becoming a Premium Member as well. You are stealing peoples money; but, even worse, YOU ARE STEALING PEOPLE'S TIME! It is time consuming looking for a place to live, and for individuals like me - living 3000 miles away from where I need to rent, you are wasting my time with this crap.

If being a dishonest vendor of services and stealing people's money in the process is the only way you can make money, well then you are a very sad person. I hope that this Christmas season brings you a ton load of Karma - because Karma is a raging b&*%$.

Hello Dena,

I apologize if your experience on the site did not satisfy you and I am glad to walk you through the process step by step.

At first, when you purchase a Premium Membership you sign up to our Premium (exclusive service) whereby you can contact and be contacted by any member, regardless whether they are also Premium or a free user (Basic).

As per your search location, the new search program allows each member to choose their ideal search city/area/neighborhood and change that as often as they want.

We were glad to speak to you over the phone and we'll write a follow-up email to ensure that everything is working in order henceforth.

Until then we wish you a successful conclusion to the year, a peaceful holiday and a healthy and prosperous start to 2017!

This site is beyond useless. Not one enquiry in a year and only 10 people who have viewed my advert dispite paid yearly subscription.

Double adverts from renters who maybe like other landlords signing up to check their adverts are ahowing.

This website is a complete waste of time and space
BE WARNED

I am so sorry to read that you were not successful renting your room through our site Paul.

I must explain that the Premium Membership is only a method which helps you with contacting your matches and it's completely optional.

Being proactive and having a complete profile ensure that you find a tenant or an accommodation with or without the Premium Membership. The profiles on the site are not bogus or fake, they are real people like you looking for flatshare, and the number of profiles on your results is not related to the Premium Membership or the functionalities on the site, it is related to the search criteria on your ad only.

We will be glad to discuss this further with you, kindly drop us en email at frank@easyroommate.com.

Cheers.

I have emailed them several times and they keep saying their website works but it doesn't. I keeps telling you to upgrade when you are already upgraded. None of the members on the list shows as they have premium membership. Only basic membership. No one's contact no. You can view. Half their links doesn't work correctly. Top if off I had a potential roommate email me from roommate long story short they sent a long email about the life story and how their dad past away a week ago and mother died 7yrs ago. Wanted to know how much to move in and how to transfer the money. I replied knowing this might be a scam by overstating the rent money and bond ie. $4000 bond and $4000 per month rent and she needs to transfer $8000. Then she replies back with worse sad stories how there's dispute with her Will etc and if she could give me a token if I transferred $15K and she will pay be back when she come to Australia.
Then I had another person saying they are interested when their profile states they are looking in Brisbane and I am living in Victoria. Things just doesn't add up with this site. I have already got the bank to investigate on them as I paid for their premium membership. PLEASE PLEASE do not waste your money.

Thank you for your feedback.

Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused and the difficulties you’ve experienced on our website!

The first issue you mentioned whereby you keep being prompted to upgrade even though you have paid already is solely a browser issue when utilizing Internet Explorer (due to an existing compatibility issue). Using alternative browsers such as Google Chrome or Firefox would allow you to use the website smoothly and get in touch with all your matches without any restrictions.

As for the phone numbers, as a Premium Member yourself you have the option to display your number on your ad for all the users to view or you can choose to hide this. This option is the same for all users and thus for the users who have chosen to display their phone number you will be able to view this but for the ones who have chosen to hide this you would have to first get in touch with them through the website’s messaging system. This is usually due to privacy/security purposes.

I am so sorry that you’ve been contacted by such a scammer on our website, we do have a Moderation Team in place that tries their best to ensure a safe environment for our users. However, as with all online platforms, there always is the risk of coming across such malicious users. This is why you have to be very careful and we have a whole section dedicated to this topic on our website: https://help.au.roomgo.net/category/350-safety-centre

Kindly get back to me with the Listing ID of such users to make sure that they are completely banned off our website. Also please get in touch with our Customer Services Team on contact-au@roomgo.net so that we can help you further with your search and rectify this situation for you.

Looking forward to hearing back from you soon!

TOTAL SCAM! Your "matches" aren't even looking to live in the same city as you, that is, if you even get past the bug that wont let your ad post (I tried the website with two accounts, one looking to rent, and one looking for a rental, YOU WILL NOT FIND EACH OTHER). Customer service is corrupt. They say that they are out to protect your privacy, but they wont delete your account and destroy your information after you tell them to. Need I say more? I easily could...

Thank you for your feedback.

I am sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience. I would like to ensure you that EasyRoommate is a classified website and it functions as a host for room ads and people searching for rooms. We do not take part in any financial arrangements between the landlords and the tenants.

In rare occasions, scammers tend to use our email format and name with a fake email address to impersonate EasyRoommate. This allows them to trick the users into placing payments that are not authorized by the website.

We do have a team of moderation team that checks the accounts on the website around the clock but unfortunately some of the slip through the moderation process. This is one of the reasons why we have the flag option on our website so that our users can report them if they notice any suspicious activities to our moderation team.

Roomgo is the least efficient accommodation service in the market. Their website is stuffed with pseudo flatmates who will never contact you because, contrary to the false information supplied below, flatmate ads are only checked when they are about to expire fortnightly. The website is so poorly designed that couples and even whole families are listed for SINGLE ROOMS & contrary to NZ law, neither same-sex nor disabled flatmates are identified. This is because the so-called 'matching' is done by price alone. Basically the site is a scam and you may consider contacting your ISP to get it blocked. But they charge a lot & their system involves a 'ratchet' feature where prices must constantly increase. They don't care, for they are only interested in $$$, not service. They offer nothing useful to potential flatmates & the lazy IT blokes who set it up will not modify the ridiculously complex website despite numerous complaints. Their management are only interested in tax-free $$ and their operations in NZ are basically illegal, with no compensation available to frustrated flatmates, as is required by law. They do not offer FULL BOARD where that is clearly expected. They are inflexible, inefficient and unreliable, with flatmate emails taking up to 21 hours to reach you. Avoid their false advertising!

Thank you for your feedback and apologies for any inconvenience or dissatisfaction that might have been caused when using our website!

Firstly, may I clarify that we are a genuine classified site and the users on our website are not bogus or fake, but real users just like you looking for a room/roommate. We’ve been operating in the flat-sharing service for over 16 years internationally and that alone speaks volumes towards our success in this business.

Also please note that we do have a Moderation Team in place that work around the clock checking and reviewing the new and existing ads on our website to ensure a safe environment for our users. In addition, ads that are completely inactive within a specific time frame are automatically de-activated by the system. Also, whenever a potential match sends you a message this is delivered instantaneously and a notification is also sent directly by email.

Furthermore, our system does not only match you to potential profiles based only on price, but also the location, preferred gender & age and also occupation status. Whilst we do understand your point of view as a customer please bear in mind that Roomgo is merely an online platform.

Even if our filters were up to your standards, nothing will ever replace a good old fashion conversation to determine who is the best person to live with. We regret that in this instance the service delivered by Roomgo did not meet your expectations, and hope that you'll eventually find your perfect roommate.

Wishing you all the best of luck in your search!

Thank you for your feedback.

I am deeply sorry to hear that you have been unable to access your account following your Premium Membership upgrade!

Firstly, I’d like to assure you that we are a genuine classified site that’s been operating in the flat-sharing business for more than 16 years and operating in more than 22 countries, we are most definitely not a scam.

Please bear in mind that we have a Moderation Team in place that approves and check the ads on our website, thus it might be that your account has been temporarily suspended to check some information with you. Otherwise, it could be that you are not entering your log-in details correctly.

Not to worry kindly get in touch with our Customer Services Team on contact@roomgo.co.uk and we would gladly assist you in accessing your account and restarting the Premium Membership for you accordingly.

Looking forward to hearing back from you and assisting you further.

The company responded to my review below incorrectly. They claim they are taking action but they still continue to list a landlord who regularly makes up lies, threatens, and robs tenants. We now know 10 people she has done this to.
We sent their contact info to Easy Roommate and they refuse to contact them or believe multiple stories.
In their response below they claim to be interested in contacting other tenants, but they are not. They are insinuating we are all lying and for some reason want to list a landlord who forces tenants out for no reason, scares them and takes their money
The police helped us to get half our money back but not all. We spent hours trying to get a police report but to officially get it, we would have to go to court for multiple days and then wait 3-4 weeks for the report
This site continues to list houses which are run by criminals. They know it and they continue to list.
Air bnb, Craiglist, Faceboon Groups, and local housing agencies all banned this landlord BUT EASY ROOMMATE has all the evidence and does nothing
Please be aware that if anything bad happens to you through houses they list, they wont help or support unless you have official police reports, which in many countries can be hard to obtain.

Thank you for your feedback Katy,

First and for most I'm sorry if you have been a victim of a scam and I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify Easyroommate's position regarding your concerns.
Indeed, unfortunately, in rare cases, scammers use our name and logo to contact and prey on Members and non-Members of the site. We are not an agency, we are a classified site and we will never text or email you to book a viewing, organize a key delivery or collect a rent and deposit payment.

The only people representing our firm are our customer support team, and they can only contact or be contacted using the contact options available on this page: https://easyroommate-us.helpscoutdocs.com/article/283-the-customer-service-team

Any other email addresses are just fake and belong to fraudsters who claim to be part of Easyroommate. To bring awareness to our users and help them stay safe, we have dedicated a whole section on our website FAQS to scams and safety and we also send safety tips via email to all of our users where we clearly advise them not to wire money and not to make any financial agreements with anyone they haven't met in person.

We are extremely sorry you had to go through this unfortunate experience as part of Easyroommate and if you can contact us at victoria@easyroommate.com we'd be glad to help you further.

Thanks again for your feedback.

Thank you for your feedback, Francis.

It is very important for us to keep our members satisfied and we deeply regret to hear that you are unsatisfied with our Premium membership. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, Francis.

Please let me clarify this for you: the Premium membership is not mandatory. It is an extra feature that enables you to communicate with all the members and gives your ad better visibility on the website. It does not guarantee you will find a room/ rent your room, but it does help you speed up your search process.

Francis, we would like to improve your experience with us. Please contact us at team@roomgo.co.uk and our team would be more than happy to help you.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

We work very hard to make your experience on our website enjoyable and we are terribly sorry to hear that we have not been able to meet your expectations. Please accept our deepest apologies for the inconvenience.

Indeed, we do offer a paid membership for members who want to speed up their search process and have unlimited contact with all their matching members. However, this feature is 100% optional and definitely not mandatory.

Everyone is more than welcome to use our website without paying for a premium membership. It is free to create an account, search for roommates, post an ad, and contact Premium Members.

We would be more than happy to assist you further and see how we can help you make the most of our website, Egle. Please feel free to contact us on team@roomgo.co.uk and our team would be happy to help.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

I was contacted yesterday (11/2/17) by someone working with easyroommate.com offering to show me a studio apartment in an upscale area of Chicago for a monthly rent far below what I thought would be a market rate for the area, which immediately made me a little suspicious, but otherwise he seemed OK. He told me that all I would need to do to hold the apartment would be to transfer the $500 security deposit to a Bank of America account, but I told him that I would not be able to do so until the following Monday or Tuesday, which he did not say one way or another would be a problem. We made arrangements to meet there this afternoon. I e-mailed him again early this morning to ask again if the delay would be a problem, and a few minutes later I received an a-mail from a *******@easyroommate.com informing me that I would need to make the transfer to a Bank of America account owned someone with an African name within six hours or the booking would be canceled. She also told me that the person who contacted me was a "verified landlord' with their service, even though their site clearly says that they do not represent or maintain a registry of landlords, "verified" or otherwise. The requirement that the payment be made before even seeing the apartment and signing the rental agreement made me even more suspicious. An Internet search for information on the site revealed that it is notorious as a source of rental scams, and it became very clear to me at that time that the contact I had received was fraudulent. I could not imagine a legitimate rental offer would require making any payments until the prospective tenant had seen the apartment and a rental agreement had been executed. I declined to pursue the rental any further.

SCAM
When I signed in I had to pay $24.90 for 30 days Premium membership in order to contact members, otherwise you will NOT be able to connect with other members. Once you
Pay there is just a few people to contact. When I wanted to log in today my account was
Deactivated and for NO REASON
As I read in Website Visitor & User Agreements once the member is deactivated they DO NOT REFUN YOU. So I HAVE SENT them emails and absolutely NO ONE REPLIED and there is NOT a costumer services phone number where to callTotally SCAM!

I have used easy room mate several times but never had a tenant from them. Just for curiosity, i tried them again along with another site spareroom that i use. I re-activated an old ad but never upgraded. As soon as i reactivated, i kept getting alerts for messages and so on. You had to pay to reply to messages. So just to try it, i paid up. None of the messengers replied. Throughout the months paid subscription, i had hardly any messages. Those i did have, were not of interest to me. My months subscription finished yesterday and since it expired, i have had loads of interest from potential tenants. This is not the first time either. I have had a gut feeling of this since i first used them years ago. I also think that the bulk of the adverts are false, to make you cough up the money
£29.99 is throwing your money away. There is not enough detail on the adverts to let you know about the persons looking for accommodation.
The site is not user friendly either. It does not tell you whether you have already contacted someone. Can be very annoying looking through messages to see if you have already contacted someone.
I use spareroom.com. It does exactly what i have stated above. I think that spareroom has more to offer and a simple messaging system. I have had 100% success with spareroom. It has a simple search facility where you pick out your prefences in your search. A full description of that person and also tells you that you have already contacted that person.
I am particular with my tenants and will only accept those who fit my preferences. You do get the odd person who tells lies in their profiles but you soon weed them out.
An honest opinion is dont bother with easy room mate.

Hi Gerry

Thank you for your email.

I'm sorry if you still haven't had any results yet Gerry.

Let me reassure you that Easyroommate is a classified site that has existed for years. We are headquartered in london and are operating in more than 20 countries all over Europe, America and Asia.

As a classified site our Members are in control of their search, we are a matching platform, so you post your ad and we match you with profiles looking in your area within your rent price range. Your room ad has generated more than 200 profiles that are live and active on the site, because to make sure the content on the site is fresh and up to date we have an automated system in place which automatically deactivates ads on inactive account - in other words - If someone does not log in within 15 days their ads get deactivated automatically.

All of our customers control and manage their accounts independently. When you do not hear back from someone it could mean that your recipient has not read your message or could simply mean that they are not interested. This is why we advice our Members to be proactive on their search and contact new profiles on daily basis to be able to find a tenant.

You are in control of your search, to promote your ad and contact the room seekers about it. You haven't contacted any members on the site for about 3 weeks now, and this is not going to help you with your search at all. Your ad is not the only one advertised on the site, and if the other landlords are being proactive on their search they have better chances finding a roommate than you do.

The Premium Membership is not related to the results on the site. It helps you have unlimited access to contact and be contacted by the Members on the site, and you are in total control of that.

My best advice to you is to get on your Search page on a regular basis to browse through your matches and contact members whose profiles you are interested in.

Thanks again for contacting us.

Kind regards,

Sophie

I am indebted to the people who have bothered to report EASYROOMATES.COM for the abject scam that it is. I thank them for NOT being indebted to this thieving hustle of a website. The way I came to find out about these reprobates is this: I was looking to find a room to rent in the St Louis area and I started on Craigslist. I saw an ad that looked promising. I decided to contact supposed landlord/homeowner. Ad was for room with usual amenities and plausible rent. The catch was that it was offering a "private entrance" which ostensibly made it an apartment, but for shared/roomate prices. This was the hook. Everything else was average, showing that they know not to set the bait for Too Good To Be True. I immediately got a response stating that the room was still available, all I would need to do, was sign up for EASYROOMATES.COM. Because I'm hip to the way Craigslist scammers work, mostly attempting to drive website traffic, I knew it was probably B. S, but because I took the time to search about the legitimacy of this site only to find innumerable complaints, that were from people who have lost a great deal more than i have (I've just wasted my time, not my money or identity), I have saved myself from being hustled by these con-artists. Dear *******@easyroomates.com or should I just say VICTORIA (seriously, you thieves can't at least invest in additional names? She's the only member of your support staff? Seriously, every response from ER.com is from a VICTORIA) please don't bother to profusely apologize about the unfortunate misunderstanding, you are wasting your breath. Or maybe I should encourage you to respond, so you waste time, money and show the rest of us to what lengths you'll go to continue this rip-off?

I am so sorry to hear about your experience and that you are dissatisfied with EasyRoommate!

Whilst I do appreciate you taking the time in providing your feedback I would like to take advantage of this situation to clarify better for you our website and who we really are as there seems to be a complete misunderstanding. EasyRoommate is not a scam but on the contrary, a genuine classified site that has been operating in the flat-sharing business for over 16 years and presents in more than 26 countries around the world, making us the biggest house sharing community in the world.

As far as the experience you had on Craigslist, I'd like to clarify that we do not do such practices at all as we find it completely unacceptable and it is definitely not someone from Easyroommate who tried to redirect you to advertising on our website. I can assure you that we do not need to create fake profiles to persuade users from other platforms to use us as we have been running a legit business successfully for years. We do not take part in these practices at all and it goes against our policies.

Unfortunately, these are malicious users tricking innocent users and trying to scam them through numerous platforms, but this is a complete fraud which unfortunately impacts negatively on Easyroommate. You were in reality contacted by this scammer on another website not by us and please note that the only people representing our firm are us - the customer services team- and our email is victoria@easyroommate.com.

This leads me to the next point, Victoria is only the mailbox name, however, we did have a former colleague by the name of Victoria who used to take care of our English mailboxes, and the company granted her the honor to name the mailbox as Victoria. This is just like we have Karine for the French mailbox, Antonio for Spanish inbox, Frank in the Uk etc. However, these now remain only email addresses names and we have other Customer Services Agents working for EasyRoommate respectively.

Finally, I'd like to highlight that similar to all businesses out there, we will not appeal to everyone. Scrolling through our reviews you will see people who are very happy with their experience with us and you will also surely see people who are not happy because they were not successful in finding what they are looking for.

Going forward and since you are looking for a room in St Louis, please note that we currently have 25 rooms available in this area and you can have a look at these by accessing the link below:
https://www.easyroommate.com/missouri/st-louis-roommate

In order to help you with this hardship and actually help you find what you are looking for we would be glad to offer you a Commercial Gesture such as a Free Premium Membership on our website and invite you to advertise with us so that you can see for yourself that we are a legit website and we are here to help people find their perfect room/roommate.

I hope this helps to clarify better our business to you and you can find our contact details on our website from here:

Apologies once again for any inconvenience caused and I do wish you the best of luck in the future.
