A Review of Match.comWrite your own review of Match.com! Reviewed By: Jim Location: Portland, OR Sex: Male Rating: ***** Date: May 14, 2008 Well, I kind of wish I would have read these "glowing" reviews before plunking down $100 to join Match for 6 months. I've been on the site for about 4 months and received a few winks, which I returned. Unfortunately, soon after my reply these women's profiles disappeared from the site. And, that leads me to my biggest issue with Match... removed profiles! It seems like the most appealing women appearing in my match-by-mails almost always have their profiles removed by the time I click on them. A couple of times, I've been early enough to actually get their profile. In fact, one last week was so appealing (interests and personality, not just looks) that it prompted me to join so I could have the best chance of communicating with her. Well, of course a few hours later, her profile was gone as well. So far, I've only "connected" with one woman, but as it turns out, she's actually living in Russia, not Oregon! Sure, she seems nice enough and the pics she sent are appealing. However, I'd say there's probably an 80-90% chance that it's a scam. I'm waiting for the inevitable "please send me $800 for a Visa so I can come visit you e-mail". Of course, her profile is also gone but she got me her yahoo address before it was removed from Match. Bottom line, I am very suspect of this site. Either they have really bad scam/fraud identifiers, or worse, they are creating some of these appealing profiles themselves in order to spur interest in becoming paid members. Either way, there customer service has been far from helpful. I just sent my 4th e-mail specifically asking what is going on with these disappeared profiles. I'm not holding my breath for an honest answer. |
