Suit claims Match.com set up fake dates | CNET News.com

Looks like someone’s in a bit of hot water and I don’t think it’s Match.com.

How can it possibly be cost effective for them to send employees on “fake” dates to keep a couple users? I could see going to the trouble of fabricating fake testimonials, success stories and happy faced customers, it’s called marketing these days. This sounds a lot like a scam to me and possibly a frivilous suit.

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.

  1. Their name should probably be changed to “watch the con”, “match dot com”.

    Now Match is saying that they’ve gotten the employee to sign an avidavit that she was never and employee. Yeah right.

    Isn’t that too easy. If anybody brings up an allegation against a giant like Match that seriously damages its reputation, do you really believe that all Match would do would be to get the person to sign an avidavit? No way, it’d be more like suing the pants off that woman.

    The case of her signing an avidavit just means she’s been bribed with a few millions to keep here quiet. Scams will never end. Support the free sites: oasisoflove.com and end the greed.
