Internet, real world, print, television, whatever... there is a legal responsilbity to have your product match (no pun intended) your promotion. The spam mails "73% of members get laid" misrepresent the product. Misleading or dishonest advertising is a crime, pretty much in every 1st world country in the world.
Building a dating site shell and stuffing thousands of bogus profiles into it to get started is misleading. There are plenty of discussions here about trading "profile lists" and whatnot, so you know there are tons of profiles out there that are either totally fake or the person in them has no clue that they are listed on other sites... and they probably have no real way to be contacted.
Fraud is fraud, and too many people around here think they can get away with anything because we are on the intraweb / world wide whatever. Sorry people, but sooner or later the scams will bite you in the ass.
When you cross the line into people's real lives.... reality sets in.
