Horrible Experience with Match.com – Beware of Unjust Terminations and Zero Customer Service!

I would give Match.com zero stars if I could. I signed up for a paid membership, and within ONE WEEK, my account was abruptly terminated without any explanation whatsoever. No warnings, no no explanation—just suddenly locked out of my account. And to make matters worse, they charged me for the full subscription, but I can't even access my account to cancel it or request a refund!

It's impossible to reach anyone on the phone. I've tried contacting customer service multiple times, and it's like talking to a brick wall. They just take your money and disappear. How can a company that claims to care about its members treat paying customers like this?

Stay far away from Match.com unless you want to throw your money down the drain for absolutely nothing in return! Totally unprofessional and deceptive business practices. Save yourself the frustration and find another dating site that actually values its users.

Match.com used to be a pretty good site. But they are ridiculous now. I recently received 5 emails from 5 different people at Match. All in response to a question I had posed on Match.com They all responded and NO ONE helped. What a joke! All they care about is money. It's such a scam!

Recently they decided if you want to see more than 6 people on the search page you have to now pay to see the full list. It wasn't like that earlier this year. It wouldn't be so bad but their lowest price is $50 US and since I live in Canada it's about 60$, you're joking right? I have to pay 60$ just to see the entire list I was able to see earlier this year for free? It used to be a good dating site but now it's just garbage, at least every other site/app I tried they don't say "Oh you want to see the entire list? You have to pay"

Yet another dating site that scams its clients. I signed up and paid for a month at the Platinum level. $59.99.
Completed my profile, posted photos and did everything I was supposed to do. Didn't get a SINGLE reply. Messaged
A lot of women, was always respectful and decent in my messages. Not a single reply. Match would tell me "someone likes you!" or "someone looked at your profile!" or something like that. I would message that person and would hear nothing back. So I started getting suspicious and messaged a few women that supposedly looked at my profile and asked them if they did. They all said they did not!
I canceled my membership after that.
So, same as Ashley Madison, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY OR EFFORT!

Match gets you to subscribe by sending emails that you have several messages & likes -
When you subscribe, however, you get the message that the site is having technical difficulties or you get a page where the members are all blurred over - I was naive
Enough to contact their customer service chat, which would have been funny, had it not
been so frustrating & insulting! I have a brand new, up to date iPad, so the issue is not
On my end! NO REFUNDS, even though I subscribed 4 hrs. Ago - They're shameless -

March.com charged my credit card with their subscription without my concent. I had canceled the subscription back in June. And now is August. Do not use match.com do not give them your credit card number. There nothing good there only scammers and match. Com is the biggest of them

Like other sites - match never deletes old inactive accounts - esp of very nice looking people. They use those profiles to entice and get you to sign up - then you find out those people are not members any more, nor haven't been for a long time. - then- systematically - your acct develops an issue - not a real issue but freezes - your only option for help - online. And wait for days. And then they erase or mangle your info - you lose all your messages - your plans get cancelled - and there is no credit issued - for a problem they cannot detail.
SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM TO ME.
These days it's a challenge to find normal people - add in the site working against you.?
BUT - THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY SO EASILY. THEN NO ONE HOME.
IT'S TIME FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT - TO TEACH THEM A LESSON..

I paid 149$ for a membership. When I first accessed the account I saw they used a wealthy physician's account to scam little old ladies with fake likes. Some attractive members are only shown in the highlights and not in search so that you have to pay an additional 3$ a piece to contact them. Hiding those from routine searches is screwing them too.

I forgot my password. I've been trying to reset the password and contacted the help line. I get a message after putting in email and it doesn't proceed to the next step. This site is not official. I didn't pay but regretfully have pics that I want to delete to keep from being used by others. Not a viable site.

Any tricks or hacks to get faster help from Match customer service like maybe actually talk to someone?!
I paid the most expensive subscription and can't use any of the services by not being able to get past the phone and account verification screen. I put in several "customer care" trouble forms then waited days to get a response or have to verify myself by answering 5 questions then waited days for a response of it having to be sent to another department so now am guessing I will have to wait for no telling how many days again. Dang! I tried many phone numbers found online and no luck. A chat feature on Facebook didn't work either.

I am okay with Match, or any other dating app charging a fee to access advanced features to improve the user experience. What I object to is that the basic paid subscription does not offer any useful features versus an unpaid subscription. Besides selecting gender, age range and search radius, you get nothing else. This renders the app pretty useless since one wastes their time sorting through profiles that are of no interest to the user. Instead, Match wants you to sign up for the premier subscription to get access to helpful search criteria like use interests, education, preferences as far as smoking, drinking, etc. Just a money grab. Better off to use the unpaid subscription or better yet, choose a different dating app.

Too many scammers here with fake profiles. Especially there was an expert matched me with an ugly old man! With all conflicting interests! And then they asked me if I wanted to pay extra for the expert service! Wasted my time and money here! Do not recommend this app to anyone!

I used Match before lockdown for a few months and again in 2024. Customer service not only provides no help to customers to solve their problems, but also uses judgmental attitude to blame customers without providing legit reasons due to their "privacy policy". Definitely avoid this website.

Match.com requires a paid membership to gain accessibility to members and send messages. There are some recommendations they make based on your search parameters called Highlights. But, to respond to a Highlight you need to spend an additional $3.00. A six month membership is already $150. I'm a fully paid member who can't message the profiles they send me without incurring additional expense. NOTE: There is no level of customer service worth contacting. There is no help line to call. You can only use email. Email responses and "solutions" from their representatives come from a book of canned responses and in trying to resolve an issue, I received "help" from five different reps. Match.com is a scam. I'll never recommend it.

Lesson learned. I went back to Seek4Match
Which is a legit site, I used to have dates through them before the lockdown.
I have never felt more wronged than when dealing with Match. It is not a legit site. Obviously all women are being paid a commission, that's why all other forms of contact are blocked. No woman would talk on a free platform. They always make something up when it comes to a real meeting. Just avoid Match at all costs, you will do your wallet and your heart a big favor!

I've had success with this site in the past. I've recent renewed my membership and continue to be impressed. I would highly recommend this. And also urge you to stay clear of fake sites such as Ashley Madison and Pure and Elite Singles.

Found little on this to make me believe that there are many genuine people on here. Signed up and was bombarded by what looked like fake profiles. I have had a few friends who say they've managed to get a few hook ups from it, however not convinced.

I'm a fairly attractive 56-year-old woman who looks a good bit younger. I've messaged back and forth with about 10 guys, every last one of whom has turned out to be a scammer. In most cases, they initiated the messaging, but in some cases I did. I'm giving Match.com two stars because it might work for younger people, but people my age tend to have more money and are therefore good targets. Be very wary of anyone who calls you "my dear", doesn't ask you many questions besides "what do you love to do", asks you the same question twice, or plays on your compassion and tells you about some big bill they have to pay such as for their mother's hospital treatment. One scammer actually sent me the exact same paragraph twice, three days apart. They clearly had a bunch of messages ready to cut and paste. The whole experience has been expensive and extremely disheartening.

If ya looking for some dating site with many users this site will get the job done and you can meet bunch of people. Better than craigslist or most other dating sites I've used so far. IMHO only alternative to Match is Mingle2day. But that's about it, no other site comes close. Haters gonna hate, don't pay attention to all the guys complaining.

There is basically no site that has such a large selection of singles. Really, I am not crazy about Match and actually prefer Mingle2day and Tinder when I'm on business trips but you won't find a site that offers so many users. Don't know what everyone's complaining about, to be honest.

Nice set up and their team did a great job with the overall layout of the website but they will bleed you dry once you sign up and agree to automatic payments from your bank account. Some of the irregular payments from my account were very small and random but all together amounted to far more than the agreed figure for a 3 month membership.
Although people do find partners on the site and I've even had some success myself, I just don't have respect for a company that sneakily rinses my wallet out like a rabid demon.
If you sign up watch your back or more importantly watch your bank account!

They use to be okay. But today the majority of the attractive profiles are complete fakes. I did google reverse image searches and all were fakes. I suspect Match employees are behind the scheme along with foreign scam artists, however it will take a group like anonymous to expose them. Ashley Madison style, men are interacting with bots and employees most likely.

They're still not letting me see my matches n who's interested in me, I gotta give it to them. We're going to see what happens n I'll definitely keep everyone posted! Good er bad you'll hear about my exact experience with this company and how they go about caring about us
