Match.com Payment Scams, Fake Profiles, Closed Account, Internet
It's official! Match.com is in fact a total scam! I fell for the lure of signing up and subscribing. Of course, I was cautious and I've heard about many other dating scams, but nothing like this one. So The moment after subscribing, all of the features are fully unlocked. You are able to message other members, send winks, and add people. It was only after I subscribed and logged out that I realized that I had been Jacked. I entered my email address (The one I had used to sign up with) and the following message popped up
"We are unable to recognize the email address you entered. Please enter the email address you gave us when you signed up with Match.com."
Keep in mind, I've contacted them and sent them a copy of my billing statement and of course, they have neglected to respond back. Warn all of your friends who are considering this site. It is ALL FAKE!

Up until this day a lot of people receive e-mails from a certain company when they indeed are sent out by someone portarying to be that company. Some people don't really check what the e-mail address actually is in roder to verify who is sending it.
I have received numerous invitations to join Math.com but all of them are spam. I am not saying there aren't people on dating websites out for people to pray upon but I don't think Match.com should be blamed.
For the person whose account info was changed...how did that happen? did you give this person you were talking to your information?
If you're interested in internet dating with the technology offered nowadays it is always better to use a webcam that way you really know who you're talking with.

Why don't you just use Google, type in, "Match.com scams". There are SOOOO many complaints that you won't have the time to read them all! Do your research before you make comments that aren't true for everyone. Just because you got lucky doesn't mean we all do! You should know that from college, you do not write false statements that you can't back up, right? Have a great day, and I'm glad you are happy with your experience. :-)

Almost scammed on Match.com by a user

Yep, Match.com! I was also almost scammed, too! First, stay away from the younger ones. All they want to do is get you on yahoo's IM because there is no email trace. I did IM this person. I say person because you really don't know you you're chatting with. Anyway, her profile said she was from Philadelphia, PA, so I thought, OK, if she is a scammer, the US will go after her. I finally got her to say where she was from on the IM. Guess where. Ghana! So, I knew at that point it was a scam because through the entire chat, she always used lower case letters, you couldn't hardly understand her English (she spelled cheat as chet).
I finally said, I had to go, then looked up Ghana scams. Sure enough, I was right. Then, I tried to get back into my account, and Match.com let this person change my email address, password and username. I can't get back into my account. To top it all off, you have to call Match.com to ask for a refund, but they won't accept calls on Saturday....WTF? I've sent several emails to Match.com explaining the situation. Their responses were to clear my cookie cache.....lol and call them for a refund. The thing is, I've only been on there ONE day!!!!!
MY advice. Anyone overseas is a scammer because the government won't go after them. I tried to report another scammer from Russia on the FBI's IC3 unit, but they did nothing. If you send them money, you will never get it back!

Met my wife of ten happy years on match. Maybe your problem is a minor glitch and your impatience is getting the best of you.
