Posted: 4/16/2006 7:38:32 PM | Same scenario on:
www.i-how.org International House of Women supposedly 10998 added this week; THAT has unchanged for months! Also, SAME photos in many different states for various women, "canned" response NO MATTER what you ask any profile woman, you get an irrelevant answer that sounds arbitrary and from a computer. Many profile have ONE line.
Most women's profiles have been on the site for years and never changes....one woman has a 4 month old and is married but she has had the same 4 month old child over a year now...a rip OFF. | |

Posted: 4/18/2006 4:33:33 PM | eharmony was the worse for me, apparently I am the perfect match for fat mexican chicks with 10 children. Because that is all they ever matched with me. I guess they figured out that I think Latin women are hot, but thats it!  | |

Posted: 4/20/2006 11:47:22 PM | | Every single one of these sites should be heavily penalized. The tactics described are nothing short of cons but the con artists have a nice little terms of use banner they think will make these tactics legal. If they are sending winks, flirts, and emails saying people are interested in you who are neither interested in you nor real members they are conning you into paying for membership. This definitely should be on 20/20, and to think I was preparing to try out a paying membership to a couple of them. | |

Posted: 4/21/2006 10:42:57 PM | | True has been sending me many winks all of sudden in the past few weeks. I am wondering if these guys are even real. I have written back to them or sent the free conversations but haven't gotten any replies. I have also been getting some winks from guys who are divorced with kids, even though I blocked that category from even viewing my profile!! I think they are faker majakers. | |

Posted: 4/23/2006 4:30:40 PM | Thanks a lot I have tried and tried to unsubscribe from true and hadn't figured it out and now you say I have to use the darned phone to unsubscribe. It did not take long to see their bogus winks and the fact I couldn't get off the site and I could just totally disassociate with them. There should be a law against them fraudulently using people forever from a temporary sign up. I did figure out I could remove all pictures so they could not use those for a drawing tactic. Maybe they should have the fraud suit against them!!!!!!!!  | |

Posted: 4/25/2006 1:01:42 PM | | Match.com not letting you send you personal e-mail is a major rip-off!! They know that many people are not comfortable giving out there home phone early. This means you are forced to remain a paying member so you can communicate with someone. Another money making tactic!! | |

Posted: 4/26/2006 2:23:09 PM | | I'm not surprised. I started the online dating thing in July of last year and there are still ads on Yahoo that were there when I started. And on other sites, I got the "bot" responses as well, just to get me to pay, or to keep me from leaving as my subscription expired. | |

Posted: 4/26/2006 8:30:18 PM | | Uh, Yahoo still allows you to read a paying member's email for free. So at least you know WHO sent it and WHAT they said. And they can send you alternate contact information if they have a couple brain cells rolling around in their head! Match, probably to allow them to generate fraudulent messages, does not allow you to even know WHO sent the message, much less WHAT they said! Kind of dumb; devalues the paying members' membership. It limits who THEY can contact. | |

Posted: 5/4/2006 12:11:30 AM | | Totally agree with you. I have just recently tried a "silver" upgrad to check this site out and it was a huge disappointment. None of the women’s profiles are genuine, all of the ones I checked were fabricated and copied from other sites, most likely from still pictures of webcams. Men on the other hand seem to believe the profiles are authentic. I never got a true/ensuing reply from a woman. Felt more like a bot message or something. What a scam, waste of time and money. | |

Posted: 5/6/2006 12:50:46 AM | Re: Hornymatches.com
Another naive victim here. People keep telling me that it.s tuff to get these people in court but there are steps that can be taken to shut these thieving sewer rats down.
Luckily I paid via Western Union so they won't be getting anything else from me but there are loads of people who paid by credit card who are getting skanked continuously.
I am about to go live with a web site to handle complaints about dating agency scams at:
http://www.dating-scam.co.uk so if anyone here has been a victim of dating agency scams or knows of anyone then please send them to my site to add their complaints and experiences.
I wish I had found this place first, It seems not everyone is out to rip us off.
Thank you in anticipation of your help, and good hunting  | |

Posted: 5/6/2006 2:22:45 AM | There are fakes, phonies, users/players , scammers and even married cheaters on just about any dating site, pay or free...I know I've encountered several, including one here on plentyoffish:He was a con artist of the emotional sort{ always evasive, and there were several other things he avoided consistently..} I'll know now to be suspicious of certain qualities, or lack thereof, from now on...{including some joker who changed my DOB here, but I changed it back...}

Posted: 5/7/2006 9:10:02 PM | Hmm... can't remember if I needed to renew Lavalife credits for this, but I did go on a date with this FOXY girl. She seemed to like me and even said she wanted to see me again, but I never heard from her again. She said she was supposedly an actress, so I just assumed she tried to let me down gently.
Beyond that, I have had good experences with Lavalife for the most part. They are a cheaper site cause they use credits rather than monthly subscriptions, and I have met lots of great girls off of there. | |

Posted: 5/30/2006 6:59:38 PM | I'm sure True sends out false winks also...
I get winks that come to my EMail account, and winks that get caught in my spam filter that are coming from what looks like (to an amateur) a slightly different domain.
I've replied to winks that never came from the person in question. It's also odd to me that True will 'recommend' you meet 'lilmisssparkles' and if you run their compatibility check, it says 'you are NOT compatible' ... yet their software recommended her?
I didnt investigate yahoo much, and truthfully dont remember much about Match...I only subscribed for two months on a 'nuy one get one' trial.
So far I like this Phishing location waaaay better. Nobody is charging us for the privelege of saying no or being told no.
Thanx y'all | |

Posted: 6/10/2006 6:56:45 AM |  Never pay for a dating site...most are scammin' and spammin'... ...if just putting your profile up on them and leaving it on their sites the free way doesn't attract any attention???...try a different site... There are a lot out there,including this site!!!... This is one of, if not the most respectable ones out there...and other than a select few members missing the odd 'fin'...lmao...the majority of the members are a great bunch of people!!!  | |

| Has anyone else had this issue with TRUE.com?
Posted: 6/12/2006 7:46:32 PM | I have experinced the same CRAP on TRUE.COM had one date who pretty much used me for my money in which I tend to spend hoping to make it a good night, but some don't respect it at all lol.
I called to cancel and it took for ever to get a answer.
Said I wanted to cancel then got offered a free month he hawww lol.
So stupid me took it but will make sure I cancel before the end date.
Any dating site that won't let you cancel online there is something
not right LOL. | |

Posted: 6/16/2006 2:58:54 AM | Funny, I was going to post a new thread on this before seeing this one, but due to the POF's draconian forum rules and regs I thought I'd be banned for spamming if I included a URL or even a site name.
Match will give you your money back if you are or were a customer and complain. They gave me my money back a couple of YEARS after I'd been a member when I complained about fraud and unethical practices. I bet Matchmaker does the same. Try it.
I started a thread on 3 other dating sites, GE, EH and AFF, 2 of which are advertised on the home page of this site, POF, in another branch and had people cast votes that I was spamming. | |

Posted: 6/16/2006 3:08:37 AM | | The irony and hypocrisy of true.com is they bill themselves as being honest and screening out criminals and married, the try to make a law to force all dating sites to run background checks and ALL their ads are of 20 yr old beautiful bikini models! Unreal! | |
