| Class action against Yahoo Personals and Match.com for fraud
Posted: 6/29/2008 6:31:33 AM | Here is my experience with Date.com
If you become a Gold member with Date.com and you want to cancel your account...you cant. The Automated system will re-direct you request to a new page informing you " Failed to Delete Profile We are unable to delete your membership because you are still a paid member. In order to delete your membership, click here to contact customer support." This is a direct quote from Date.com's page.
Clicking on contact customer support link you are again re-directed to another page... Date.com Membership Department Avalanche, LLC 1521 Alton Road #626 Miami Beach, FL USA 33139 Please Note: Because of delays in the postal service, it can take 7-14 days until you are upgraded to Gold Membership status. To become a Gold Member immediately, we recommend you upgrade via credit card. Please Note: When sending membership payment by mail be sure to include (and please print clearly) your: * Username * Email address * Length of Membership
At this page you are given an option of either submitting a request to customer support or nothing. Once you have submitted a request an email will show up at the account you signed on with informing you that customer support will contact you in 24 hours. They are not open on the weekends! so the 24 hours contact by customer service is invalid.
Notice there is no phone numbers, I will address this further down this post
At the top right hand corner on the contact customer support, there is a very small link that says "To cancel your Gold Membership click here" Upon clicking this link you are re-directed to a page giving you all your sign-on information. Here you can cancel your account. But not deactivate it.
Phone numbers and other information found on the main page under http://www.bbbonline.org/cks.asp?id=105071913552 which is found on the bottom right corner. Clicking on this link you are re-directed to another page giving you this information. BBBOnLine Reliability Profile: Date.com Company/Organization Information: 1521 Alton Road #626 Miami beach, FL 33139 Phone: 305-938-4400 Fax: 305-535-0893 Email: Click here Description of Product & Services Offered: Internet Dating site for singles to find a match for a relationship Company Website(s) www.date.com Business Start Date: 1/1/2001 Bureau Join Date: 2/28/2005 Company Management: Meir Strahlberg (CEO) Customer Service Contact: Derek Cheung (Customer Service Team Lead) Phone: 877-224-3283 Email: Click here As a BBBOnLine Reliability Participant, this company is a member of the Better Business Bureau, and meets all BBB membership standards.

Now once a person has cancel their Gold account you still cannot deactivate your account because you still are a "We are unable to delete your membership because you are still a paid member. In order to delete your membership, click here to contact customer support." This company makes it extremely hard to cancel an account, I am going to complain the the Florida Attorney Generals office and so should you. The link to cancel should be located it a easy to find area such as settings area where one tries to deactivate their account. I for one will not use this site again. | |

Posted: 11/22/2008 11:27:40 AM | This just happened to me (11/20/08) so I figure I should say something so others can be aware of them-
I received an email (the email I signed up to POF with but since changed but my username is from that email addy) from someone who said they just moved to my area and were looking to get in touch with me. When I tried to reply it sent me an automated reply telling me to email the person through - freindship2make.com - she was pretty so I joined for free but then found out I would have to be a paid member in order to email someone - NOT!
This person said in her email she got my email from my "add on plentyoffish".
So maybe this site should be on a watch out for list | |

Posted: 1/27/2009 10:30:47 AM | | Same thing......I was a member of Match and was thinking about joining Yahoo, until I saw this thread....while I was with Match I would get a few emails here and there.....a few winks (mostly bogus ones)....after my three month was up and cancelled then all of a sudden I was getting emails (which were going to my work email) with winks.....amazingly during the time I was with Match I never got so much mail nor winks....I have come to the conclusion that Match (and probably Yahoo are fake)....I'm not saying that everyone on these suites are fake, because I was on there...but I think it's a money making machine....I'm glad that I found this thread because I had actually made a profile last night for Yahoo and was giving it a lookover.....it's really a shame that nice people (both men and women) can't seem to find their match as often as you would think they should on a pay site.....but then again....if we all were these sites would be out of bussiness....I hope I didn't ramble on to much here... | |

Posted: 5/3/2009 5:41:45 PM | Cool,
But they also need to go after True.com also. True is supposedly the #1 paid dating site online and they also send out fake winks also, so True should be sued also.
I despise True.com with a vengeance. I haven't been a member of their site in years but they make me sick espically Herb Vest (owner of True.com).
His site only became #1 because he uses ads that have women in very little clothing.

Posted: 7/25/2009 11:29:08 AM | I have nothing bad to say about Yahoo personals except that I never got any results, and most of those were from females in foreign countries.
My complaint is with a web site called Heart Detectives, now this site is one BIG scam. And so noted by many, many, testimonials which make Yahoo look OK. Heart Detectives also has a TV show called Cheaters. Suck you into finding out your mate is cheating and then onto Heart Detectives to find your true love, soul mate, bride etc.
Please don't even try this one. I have filled with the FBI as it is a Federal Crime to us the internet to scam monies etc.
Best bet if you see a nice looking friendly male or female in the super market, Target, Nordstrom's etc. go for, but do it in a nice friendly way.
IT WORKS.  | |
