NEW YORK (AP) - A Manhattan judge is siding with two women who didn't get dates. The judge says the Internet dating service Great Expectations has to refund all their fees after dashing their expectations.
One woman was refunded the one-thousand dollars she paid for a six-month membership. The other gets the nearly $3,800 she paid for a 54-month deal.
The judge said "there was a massive overcharge by the dating service."
Great Expectations had claimed its operation was set up in a way so that the state's Dating Services Law did not apply to it. It plans to appeal the ruling.
