I didn't use it for a very long time because the selection pool was not good at all and I find out later that my account got hacked and my profile became some old man's profile trying to get women! So I cancelled the card in that account and turned off my auto-renew. They still got my new card information anyway (saying my financial institution provided them the new info (WTF, Capitalone?!) still charged my card and kept charging it even though I have disputed it. This site is greedy and evil and all they care about is money in their pockets. Stay very far away.

Review:
VERY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER... The site offers a smaller monthly rate to do more months. Not aloud a refund after wanting to canx the 1st month? They entice with a lessor monthly rate for more months, but cannot get a refund if the site is not for you and/or you find a match early. Why can't they revert the price back to the 1 month rate and refund my money for months not used? Here is a Hypothetical under their current policy. Let's say you pay for a two year rate and find a match early and want to canx. You are charged the two years for the match. Whereas if we go month-to-month on original rate. You end paying way less when you find a match or just want to quit. This is a bad business practice and needs to be reported the appropriate gov agency and write many many reviews telling folks not to use your site. And if they do please only go month to month because it will cost less in the long run. WATCH OUT...

This is a follow up review. Match is a scammers paradise. Still get lots of likes views favorites. From contacts with a picture of a pretty young woman. 20 minutes or so later. Their profile is gone. Then there is still the hits you get. Views likes favs. You look at the profile. It says not active in 3 weeks. How can someone view your profile. With out being active in the site. Match generated those responses. To try to make you think your getting some where. Then all the hits from none paying members. They have contact info there. Everyone is a scammer. I have been doing an experiment. 60+ in a row. Asked for an iTunes card. The amount of fake hits I get from scammers is slowing down. I must have turned most of them down. For give cash. It's always more active on the weekends. But this site is a scam. Run by scammers. DO NOT JOIN.

Match.com is a Scam. Match is owned by Match Group, Inc. Match Group, Inc. also owns Tinder, Plenty of Fish, and OKCupid. All of these sites are Scams. My experiences has been that 95% of all Male Profiles are real, but only about 50% - 60% of Female profiles are real. The remaining profiles are Scammers or possibly even bait accounts placed by Match Group, Inc., to fool clients into thinking there are more members than there actually are. This is especially true in larger urban areas, like my area of Southern California. My main complaint about Match.com specifically is that it is a paid, account type web site, as opposed to others I've listed. If I'm going to pay for Matches and to browse, I expect there to be a higher standard of authentic accounts. Most of the fake accounts are clearly, and obviously fake. A lot of accounts even have profile photos modified with text, stating that particular users are not real. This is confusing because everyone is required to have Match.com pre-approve and authenticate both their profiles and photos before they are posted. I think a good old fashioned Class Action Law Suite would be a great solution to cripple this scam.

I was hacked three times in one month at match.com. Match.com did not send me any notification that they were working on fixing the problem or even acknowledge that it was fixed or there was a problem. They close the phone line down at 6:00 so if you get hacked after that (I did). The hacker uses your account all night. I clicked the link that I did not ask for a password change but that didn't stop the hack from happening. I will not ever use Match.com again! I do not recommend this site either until they can prove they have fixed this problem!

I thought I would give Match.com a try last February. It was awful! I couldn't even be online to see if there was anyone I was interested in without getting swarmed by men from other states trying to IM me. I'm on a dating website, so I can meet real people I can date in person, NOT to chat with a bunch of men in other states who probably are not even who they say they are.

I also had the creepy feeling that MATCH itself was saying men "winked" at me, when they hadn't, because when I responded to some who supposedly "liked" my photos, they were non-responsive. It was an echo-chamber of falsehoods. I stopped going to the site in disgust. I thought I cancelled it -- maybe I didn't, but MATCH did nothing to alert me by email that they were renewing me for $139. By the time I say the charge on my credit card, they claimed that they didn't refund after 30 days. GOTCHA! An awful online dating experience AND robbery. I imagine they will keep my "Profile" up so others will think there are real people behind all those dead profiles. Ugh.

I WOULD STAY FOR AWAY FROM THIS SITE. They rip you off, charge you for extras that you aren't aware of and give no refunds, even when it is their mistake. I asked for a supervisor and was told they could not give me one. I was not happy with the service in any way and when I went in to cancel, it gave me a message basically telling me that I would lose my current access - another way they scam you for money. I'm sure most of the positive reviews on this site are being posted by their employees.

Do not sign up, Their main goal is to have users on their site to generate traffic so they can cash out with advertisers.
Here are some of the reason i do not recommend this site:
- No refund
- Automatically charges your credit card after you requested to cancel before your month is up ( would not refund your money)
- fake profiles
- if you download their app - they will constantly send you "likes" and "wink" from members and once you tab on it, their is no such members.
- If you send messages to "members" you will get back prob 1 out of 100 because most of the profiles are inactive members from the past. A very good friend's image showed up with a "like" and i know for a fact that she has not been using this site for years since she was marry and had three kids). The image was from ten years ago.

All they care is your money and once they get a hold of it they are not letting go.

I noticed several emails from men on match in a short period of time... 1 hour. Then realized someone was writing back to these guys pretending to be me. My profile was hacked just two weeks into signing up for a 3 month membership by someone i did not know. I hid my profile, apologized to the men who were contacted by the person who hacked into my account. I was mortified. I contacted match and was told they could not do anything for me and the emails that were sent from my acct were spam... WTF? And they refused to refund my money. Save your money. It's an awful site. The same guys are on pof and pof is free.

The concept of Match is great. But here's the problem: for the short time I was a paid member on the site, I sent messages to potential matches based on their profile. Very few ever responded. Now it could be that I'm a real dud, but I don't think that's it. Match maintains profiles on people like me who haven't been paid members for months or years. When active paid members attempt to contact me via email, the only way I can respond is to pay for a membership. Isn't this false advertising when people like me are not active members but Match is representing me as a paid, available match?
