MAtch.com sued for fake profiles and emails!
 
not sure if it was posted, but I think this is huge since I know for 100% sure all the "Adult" dating sites do it. They are being sued for sending fake member emails, creating fake profiles, and even for sending employees on fake dates!

Quote:

Match.com, a unit of IAC/Interactive, is accused in a federal lawsuit of goading members into renewing their subscriptions through bogus romantic e-mails sent out by company employees. In some instances, the suit contends, people on the Match payroll even went on sham dates with subscribers as a marketing ploy.

"This is a grossly fraudulent practice that Match.com is engaged in," said H. Scott Leviant, a lawyer at Los Angeles law firm Arias, Ozzello & Gignac, which brought the suit.
Match "promotes the policies of integrity to protect members, and yet they themselves, we allege, are misleading their entire customer base," he said.


The company said it does not comment on pending litigation. But Match spokeswoman Kristin Kelly said the company "absolutely does not" employ people to go on dates with subscribers or to send members misleading e-mails professing romantic interest. The company has about 15 million members worldwide and 250 employees, she said.

yeah, but that's for their GEO banners and landing pages only I believe. or did they add it recently to the actual profile pages inside the members area?

chowda 11-20-2005 02:12 PM

How else would they get the site off the ground to begin with.

With all of them claiming so many million members, it is amazing how we still can get a join.

that wouldn't be the point, the point would be these places all hire people to do it, most bigger ones do it in house. if they can prove they do it themselves, they are fucked.

your idea of they can't help if users post fake ones would be their only defense.

but then again, it doesn't cover their asses on sending out automated scripted fake member to member emails showing interest that are fake. I'm sure that can be proven pretty easily.

It's not by company employees but by bots ;)

pornguy 11-20-2005 03:10 PM

Wht do you expect. If you used the stats of the number of female members that they say they have looking for dates, then 1 out of every 5 women is online looking for a date.

I have actually caught a large dating site stealing pictures from my site (which is an amateur site) and making profiles with them. We have been able to locate over 100 profiles used with our pictures. Still deciding how to handle it.

Pleasurepays 11-20-2005 03:21 PM

bummer for sexsearch

not sure if that was ment towrds me or just in general, but if it was to me then No, it is not sexsearch I am refering to.

Pleasurepays 11-20-2005 03:34 PM

no, i was looking at their site and created a free BS profile just to see the rest of it and how they upsell... next thing i know i am getting e-mails every day... everyday from hot chicks who are interested in me... even though the profile said "test text just looking around...." and there was no pic and the profile was obviously not real.

warlock5 11-20-2005 03:37 PM

I believe everything except sending employees on fake dates. I mean, seriously, does anyone believe that? These sites have nice profit margins, but its not like users are dropping a grand a month like a russian bride site.

yeah, did the same at amateurmatch, AFF and sexsearch and I was the most popular guy ever, super hot chicks coming out of the woodwork, too bad I didn't plug in a CC# to respond to them :disgust

adultchica 11-20-2005 08:52 PM

I am pretty sure there are trolls and scammers on the dating sites but they are probably random people not employees.

IF they are company employees.........damn that's shady as hell.

I still doubt any company would put their employees on dates or fake profiles. I mean, really, wouldn't that dumb as fuck on their part? I just don't see it as plausible.

create a profile on sex search with text like "hi, i am mentally retarded and live with my parents. i live in the garage and like snakes and spiders. my dream is to own a pig farm in iceland"

upload no pic.

see how many e-mails you get of people who really really really really really want to meet you. everyday.

you seem to be new to the interweb.

I totally need one of those. It would be almost as good as having a clone.

adultchica 11-20-2005 09:00 PM

No, I'm happily married and hence have no need to join dating sites, pleasurepays.

adultchica 11-20-2005 09:04 PM

And no, I'm not even going to join one to "test it out"

If their employees are creating fake profile...then that is on them. They will pay for it in the end. I'll believe it when I see the proof. If it's true...then good for the members and shame on the date sites...if it's not true...then they can go fuck themselves.

With as much money as they make I'd be really surprised if they didn't. I think they need to contact Gene and move that part of the operation to the Philippines from now on though. :1orglaugh

sumphatpimp 11-20-2005 09:59 PM

ain't nothing new really, that sort of scam has been going on long before the internet ever happened.
classified adds in newspapers, magazines etc, etc.
I find it very funny though that when the scam is adopted for the internet it somehow is reborn with new life as if it never existed.
LOL!
same shit, different day.

The very basics of converting free members into paid ones is having that free member get emails from hot girls showing interest that he can't read till he coughs up a CC#

LOL, that's pretty much what I did, amazing how many hot girls love mostly blank profiles of 65 year old fat men :1orglaugh
