Hi everyone! As a former many year paying subscriber on Match.com I am forced to the conclusion Match.com may well be a 'Fraud' more than anyone is aware of or can even imagine!

I've read many times about the 'Fraud' of 'Fake Winks' the 'Fraud' of 'Fake Emails' the 'Fraud' of 'Fake Profiles' the 'Fraud' of leaving on deleted profiles the 'Fraud' of charging after people cancel the 'Fraud' of not honoring '6 Months Free' the 'Fraud' of 'Fake Wink' 'Fake Email' notifications to entice members to become paying subscribers and the 'Fraud' goes on and on... but I believe the 'Fraud' goes much deeper! I'd like to share a woman's post who said it well:

"This online company that matches dates fraudulently keeps customers by not allowing the other party to receive emails. This keeps profiles online forever teasing them with interested people you can never get an email to. I had the experience of knowing a potential date's real address and we noticed that when we sent emails thru the site they didn't reach either one of us. I then had a few interested people email me and I sent emails back to them and they never responded mysteriously making me think they changed their minds. Well how many times can this happen until you realize you're being scammed? This is fraud in the worst way, to falsely represent a meeting opportunity and keep people from actually contacting each other. This company should be OUT OF BUSINESS for FRAUD. They don't care if you meet someone, they just want to make sure you stay online with their company and stay interested with the emails you can never respond to so they keep their money flowing."

I had 50 pages of 'Who's Viewed Me' and not one was interested in writing a nice gentleman? And some had been 'Active' for years!

Being a 'White' male I listed my preference as 'White' female. For years black ladies sent polite emails. I didn't respond to the black ladies but did email one who told of her problems with Match. We emailed several times and she was very polite. A year ago I deleted my 'About My Date' section to 'No Answer' including 'Ethnicity'. That could be interpreted I might be open to a black lady. How many black ladies sent polite emails last year? None! Match.com should be 'We're making sure you NEVER get a MATCH! .CON'

I know a nice looking polite man in his 20's who tried Match with zero results. Yet, a man in his 20's has a recent post here saying he receives nice emails and gone on dates in 2 WEEKS and gives 'advice' for men 'struggling' on Match. I found his profile and NO... it is NOT his 'Username' his 'Headline' what he wrote or his photographs. I've read men's profiles to see what they wrote and there's many better men's profiles out there. So to answer a man's question: Does Match put members in 'different categories' to NOT succeed or receive emails the answer must be YES!

Match is like a Shooting Gallery at a Carnival. They have 4 rifles on the table all altered and even a champion target shooter can't hit the side of a barn if he gets the worst one! But every now and then they pull out the unaltered rifle and someone wins a stuffed animal toy and you hear: "Look here folks! Another winner! Step right up and win a prize!" It's a carnival and part of the fun is how they have things rigged against you and how big a loser you can be for one night. But when a decent man or woman with their heart set on having someone to love and for whatever reason is depending on Match and their hopes and dreams are crushed it's not funny!

As a woman wrote "This isn't a dating site, this is a dating prevention site." I wondered if women received my emails and from the strange responses I received if my emails had been altered. I believe some 'Winks' and emails are sent by Match through a person's profile to a member who is then blocked from replying to the senders profile. Think about it! I've heard there's a couple guys in a back room making up women's ads with demands no man can meet AND sending emails through women's Fake AND Real profiles.

Ladies! Warning! If one day a man who is fuming mad is setting your car on fire and you've never even seen him before he might be a member of Match who received emails through YOUR profile you didn't send! As a man said "Match women's emails give new meaning to the word Rude" I know a man whose dog died while he was on Match for hours being insulted. Another man same scenario while his neighbor had a heart attack. They're NOT happy! For women with a photograph, location etc how hard is it for a man to track one down? Someone needed to say it! Even I as a very nice man grew more uncomfortable on Match. As someone wrote it's like Match is trying to start a war between men and women... read posts on the Web!

I feel sorry for women who tell about their bad experience on Match and the wrong men who receive real emails. Some women met those men who scammed, abused, stalked and some of the stories on the Web are truly tragic leaving lifetime trauma to endure! Unlike emails I received some women who post comments here sound like nice sincere ladies who express themselves well. Where were those ladies on Match? I spent thousands of hours on Match and sent hundreds of polite emails and was very flexible on age, distance etc. I just wanted to get in contact with a nice lady but never could... or I wasn't allowed to by Match! When these nice ladies read my (or other decent men's) ad expressing fine personal character of a sincerely searching, single, available gentleman who would love to have a lady to cherish I'm sure they would want to write and meet. Why didn't any of them email? Maybe they did! But I never received their email! Truly sad and truly Fraud! Match took my money, played me for a fool and stole years of precious time from me! Now I know why God made Hell. Obviously this isn't a Match 'Fraud' Web post! For all the victims and future victims of Match.com Fraud PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! Thanks:)
