I signed up for Events and Adventures Chicago back in July. In August, my work schedule changed to nights and I have 4 group projects in my current semester at school. I have received no response to 3 emails from Karine about a downgrade. I understand I signed a contract, which is why Karine recommended a possible downgrade. Welp, I never heard back after that after following up multiple times. (August 22-September 26) If you ask me, this company is a scam. I cannot help my work/school schedule and there seems to be no decent customer service on E&A's end. I'm out thousands of dollars for nothing. The events I want to attend are either filled, or on days that I can't make it. I don't work an incredibly flexible job and I don't have the luxury of asking off as many days as I want. In addition, when I work events (which most of the events are during) I have no way of making them. Overall, I'm just so disappointed in this company. There are freezes with my account, which is fine, but after all of this, I don't even want to participate anymore. Your group outings (most of the time) are totally free events anyway and if I'm paying thousands of dollars for someone to schedule it, that is NOT what I was under the impression I was paying for. I have to pay all this money and still spend more money on each event. That's just so crazy to me. I am at my wit's end and absolutely furious at this point. You're taking money from people, advertising this flourishing company, and then not living up to what's discussed in the interview process. I was open to the downgrade early on, but that's not going to cut it at this point.

Hello All, Events and Adventures, this group has turned into a JOKE. I was a member, I had some fun, and when I had fun, THERE WAS PLENTY OF DRAMA..OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SUED THIS COMPANY..I HOPE TO GET SOME KIND OF FINANCIAL COMPENSATION..here's some of the messed up stuff that happened to me when I was a member of the drama group for singles 1. When I was at an event one night and signing in, I WAS NOT finished, the member host came over and RIPPED THE CLIPBOARD OUT OF MY HAND 2. At another event I was at, when I wanted to hanOIDHISd a DRAMA FREE person the ball a PAID EMPLOYEE OF THE COMPANY YELLED AT ME..I DON'T THINK SHE'S READY FOR THE BALL YET!!!!!! 3. A MEMBER HOST YELLED AT ME TWICE FOR NO GOOD REASON AT ALL 4. When I was giving a member a ride to and from an event...SHE YELLED AT ME TWICE IN MY CAR WHEN I WAS DRIVING TELLING ME WHAT I SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT BE DOING 5. When I was driving for an event, MANY PEOPLE IN MY CAR WERE TELLING ME WHICH WAY TO GO DRIVE ON A ROUTE 6. We were told that MANY OF THE EVENTS WOULD BE FREE OR COST ABOUT $20.00...THIS GROUP COST MONEY TO JOIN. when I looked at the events for one month most of the events on average COST FIFTY DOLLARS PER EVENT 7. Some people would get WAY TO COMPETITIVE DURING FUN SPORTING EVENTS 8. let us not forget THE INTERACTIONS I HAD WITH THE OWNER OF THIS COMPANY ALL VIA EMAIL AND THE WORST CAMPING TRIP WEEKEND EVER...LET US START WITH WORST CAMPING TRIP EVER HIGHLIGHTS. 8a. NOT ENOUGH FOOD FOR THE WEEKEND. come Monday morning...WE RAN OUT OF FOOD FOR BREAKFAST...NOT GOOD 8b. When I was in line for breakfast one morning I mentioned a couple times they will be bringing more Strawberries...THEN A MEMBER HOST YELLED AT ME...YOU ALREADY SAID THAT!!!!!! ON TOP OF THAT I TALKED TO HER LATER ON THAT DAY..AND GUESS WHAT, WHEN I ASKED IF SHE COULD APOLOGIZE TO ME SHE YELLED AT ME WHEN SHE APOLOGIZED..AND ON TOP OF THAT, SHE LIED TO ME AFTER YELLING AT ME WHEN SHE APOLOGIZED..I WAS TOTALLY UPSET..SHE AND I GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT..WHY?? SHE WAS NOT SINCERE WHEN SHE GAVE ME AN APOLOGY..AND LIED TO ME I just know this was the worst camping trip weekend EVER...on top of that..when I talked to A PAID EMPLOYEE ON STAFF.SHE WAS GONE WHEN THE GAL AND I ARGUED..SHE TOLD ME THAT PEOPLE WITNESSED AN ASSAULT..FROM ME...ANOTHER LIE!!!!!!! 8c. When we were in town after having walked from the campground..the people in our group were getting some ice cream..and when I told a gal that works there the gal behind it's her BIRTHDAY TODAY..THE GAL YELLED AT ME DUDE!!!!! Then when I got back to the campground and TALKED TO THIS SAME DRAMA GAL AGAIN..SHE YELLED AT ME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8d.
