Texas Attorney General Abbott Files Action to Halt Practices of Senior Dating Service in Beaumont Area
Restraining order and asset freeze names Matchmaker and Sagejax Inc.
HOUSTON - Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott obtained a temporary restraining order and asset freeze against a specialized dating service that targeted senior citizens, disabled Texans and veterans. According to the State's enforcement action, the defendants misled customers about the nature of the services and violated state debt collection laws.
The State's enforcement action names Javier Luna and several entities - including Matchmaker, Sagejax Inc. and Monterrey Financial Services Inc., a debt collector - as defendants. According to State investigators, the defendants made cold calls to select individuals in order to encourage them to join the fee-based dating service. During the prospective calls, potential customers were falsely told that "thousands" of individuals were included in the dating service's database. Further, the defendants falsely claimed to have the Better Business Bureau's endorsement.
