Thank you for posting about this. The Peoplemeet sites always give problems at times. I believe someone posted on this site about how a woman in 2011 was scammed on SeniorPeopleMeet.com. It is a shame what they have done. There is one way to solve this and I can tell you how

Hi, my complaint is placed under 'Other' category as I did not find any other applicable category (such as Dating, Online Dating etc). Any suggestions regarding this?
Thank you

If you want me too I can post the article about a woman being scammed on SeniorPeopleMeet.com. In Fact let me post it right here
Article: The Huffington Post, Denver, November 10, 2011: Online Dating Scam Leaves Widow Esther Ortiz-Rodeghero Heartbroken, Foreclosed, Bankrupt
"A woman looking for love online instead lost her life savings after falling for an internet scammer on a seniors' dating site.
Esther Ortiz-Rodeghero of Castle Rock, Colorado, lost her husband in 2010 after he died of pancreatic cancer. After his passing, Ortiz-Rodeghero tells 7News, "I was grieving, and I was lonely, and I wanted someone to share my life with." She says a therapist advised her to go online to meet new people.
She soon discovered a dating website called SeniorPeopleMeet.com, where the 55-year-old financial analyst encountered "Wayne Jackson, " a man who presented himself as an Army major general who had lost his wife in a car accident. A picture of "Wayne" provided by Ortiz-Rodeghero depicts a handsome black-haired man in army fatigues, smiling at the camera.
According to ABC, the man claimed to be stationed in Iraq but would be retiring to the United States soon. The two emailed nearly every day. A month later, he requested she send him $800, claiming his bank account had been frozen and, due to his station in Iraq, wouldn't be able to sort it out with the bank in person.
Ortiz-Rodeghero says he showed her bank statements, and began asking for money on a more regular basis. She complied, thinking she'd helped "Wayne" start a business they would both one day run together, writes the NY Daily News. She emptied her personal savings, 401k, and her husband's life insurance, then proceeded to take out loans -- about $500, 000 in all.
When she sent "Wayne" money for a plane ticket and he never showed, Ortiz-Rodeghero understood she'd been scammed. In addition to her emotional losses, the Daily Mail reports she recently lost her job of 17 years, her house is in foreclosure, and she has declared bankruptcy.
SeniorPeopleMeet.com, the website where Ortiz-Rodeghero met "Wayne, " warns users to never send money to someone you meet online, especially by wire transfer.
The U.S. Army also has issued a warning about online dating profiles from persons claiming to be serving abroad."

I am glad to report that BlackPeopleMeet customer service are not bad after all.
The important thing is that they continued responding to my emails and finally emailed me the profile that was removed back.
Mistakes do occur and technical gliches can cause lots of difficulties but BlackPeopleMeet customer service proved to be genuinly serious in their resolve to assist customers.

What I thought to be increase in what they sited on the site turned out to be a Processing fee...which I admitt could not see it clearly at the time I joined.
So, BlackPeopleMeet did not overcharge me either.
