Match

PLEASE DO NOT JOIN THIS DATING SITE. I joined and paid by $77 plus, however after realizing that I was being asked constantly to update to read email responses, I realized I had been taken. I am a senior on a fixed income and the enrollment too ALL OF MY SAVINGS. After several requests for a refund, a 'manager' called me back. He was totally unsympathetic and had no compassion or understanding of my situation. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM my friends. Try a free site like PLENTY OF FISH. Namaste.

I joined in November time and, at first, it all seemed reasonably fun and decent for the money paid. I was getting a decent amount of 'views' and made contact with a couple of women who replied back. This suited me as I didn't want or expect women to be messaging me all over the place.

I arranged a date with one girl I spoke to and it went well but I don't think anything will be happening again. I got a couple of mobile numbers but nothing ever came of those either. This doesn't sound altogether negative; however, all of this happened within a month or so of first joining. Since then, it's been dead. Now, I don't bombard women with messages but I've not had ONE response for around two months. I know not everybody has full registration and can only view and respond to certain things but honestly, for the amount it costs not to have ANY communication back is just a bit of a joke.

As other people have said of themselves, I'm not a 64 year old bloke with no teeth and sever asthma. I'm mid-20's and fairly good looking and I'm on there as I work up to 60 hours a week so struggle to meet women,

It was good for the first month or so but the novelty soon wears off. Now I just go on there and it's pretty demoralising. Another thing that annoys me is that the only way I do get views is if I view them first! Where am I coming up on the searches? I'm pretty sure that people in their mid to late twenties must take up a higher percentage of the users than other age groups.

My review is similar to those below. I had not been using Match for months, and knew my subscription was expiring sometime in Dec. BUT I had heard from others disasters that I had to turn off auto-renew as to not get charged without my approval first. WELL, that is what I thought anyways! I STILL got charged $130+ even though I went on the site and officially cancelled the whole account THE SAME DAY! Then saw 2 days later that the charge still went through on my card. So i had to call, and they absolutely refused to refund, even though SAME DAY CANCELLATION! They have no real regard for their customers, it is just about the bottom line. I mean, I have NEVER used a site/ product or bought something that if returned the EXACT SAME DAY could not be refunded! Completely ridiculous! Terrible customer relations. Do not use, unless you like wasting money.

I was a member of the site, Match.com. On the 22nd of October, i made a payment and was happily using the site. On the 25th of October, I couldn't log in anymore and was advised to contact Customer Care.

Customer Care informed me that I have violated the Terms and Conditions listed on their website and due to the "nature of the violation", they would not communicate with me anymore. All without giving me an explanation and offering a refund. I have since sent emails to follow up to ensure that I get my refund back. Still awaiting their response.

I am outraged as I went through the Terms and Conditions and felt that I have not violated them in anyway. By refusing to provide me an explanation, I am considering that Match.com has terminated my account on an uninformed basis, denying me of my right to paid services. Prior to the termination, I even received emails that my updated profile and pictures were approved. I am especially enraged by their dismissive attitude.

No Matchs... NONE at all... once every 10 days... a guy from Newfoundland would pop up (I'm in NS). For you non-Canadians... 1000 miles for a coffee date?

I signed up for Match.com with their 6 month guarantee. After 6 months they kept charging my credit card. After calling them multiple times, they told me that I should have gone under my account settings & adjusted their default settings within a certain timeframe even though my status stated Guarantee. JUST CALL YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY TO REMOVE THE CHARGES, THEN TRY THE BUMBLE DATING SITE BECAUSE IT IS JUST AS GOOD IN MY OPINION, & IT IS FREE.

I convinced my friend to sign up with match.com 3 weeks ago. I paid for her subscription in an effort to get her started. Over the past 3 weeks we've sat down together to look through profiles etc. They are all fake profiles. They use the same language in the text, some are insulting and some just plain make your skin crawl. I helped her respond to the couple that seemed real, much to our surprise, once she responded, their profiles disappeared. I called match.com and asked for a refund (I had paid for a 6-month subscription). I spoke to a supervisor, Kevin F. (who refused to provide his last name), who apparently was only capable of repeating that match.com does not provide refunds. He didn't try to defend the site or apologize for our negative experience. He also claimed there was no one above him to speak to. I asked him why they don't stand behind their product or care about their customers and guess what he said... yes, he said "we do not offer refunds". There you go, save your money and do not join this site.

Match.com is a hub for scammers. Match.com is the reason I lost $1.2 million. They match me with a scammer named Frank Mason. Match.com did not give me any tips or warning of scam. I thought that since they are charging money they would screen their members. Match.com sent me tips and warnings after all my money was taken from me. They do not want to take any responsibility. I contacted them many times and no response. I contacted lawyers and no one would fight Match.com. I guess I am just a little person trying to fight big company for justice. My local law enforcement investigated my case they said that my money was sent somewhere in Ghana via Bitcoins. I am living paycheck to paycheck because of Match.com. I was put to mental institution because of depression, panic attack and tremors. I have experience driving on a freeway and just hitting the wall or a big tree to end my life. One lesson I learned -- avoid any online dating sites esp. Match.com. If I could give a rating of -*******, I would do so. Be careful. I do not want anyone to go thru what I am experiencing now.

IF ANYONE IS CONSIDERING GOING ON MATCH.COM, DON'T.
It is the worst company. I didn't want to renew my subscription and when the time was up it charged my card on file the full amount and I did not even realize till it was too late. I called and was told they don't give refunds. This is how they make money. I am certain I cancelled my subscription in time but was still charged. I have cancelled it again and will now contact my bank to make sure it doesn't happen again. I will never use this company again and make sure I let others know there are better sites then match.com

I joined Match.com for 3 months. It was not particularly satisfactory in terms of getting responses to my emails but I had 2 dates and there are some "real" people on there. However I decided not to renew and proactively went into the account a couple of weeks before payment was due and elected not to renew.

About a week prior to renewal I was signing in and had a window offering me Boost and Connect by email for Free etc., as a "gesture of loyalty". I checked the box to accept. It is hard to recall but the layout (according to customer service) had another check box that I needed to click on if I no longer wanted to renew.

The subscription did not end, I discovered another £60 had been taken from my credit card without any consultation and therefore overriding the instruction I had previously made to cancel. The customer service people respond with the same phrasing about how I didn't check the box and have so far refused to refund my money or send me a screen grab of the offending box so I can at least see what I did wrong.

I am going to initiate a case with the small claims court to get my money back.

Beware!

So, I have used this website a couple of times and the results are less than perfect. I am not particularly writing this review because of my own personal experience but rather to give a warning to people about Match.com's less than honest method of getting you to either sign up and or re-sign. I went for a six month subscription this last time mainly because of all the "messages and views" my profile was receiving. So I hit the ground running and tried it out. What you find is after you sign up all that goes away. In a good week I maybe communicated with one or two people if I was lucky. Towards the end of my subscription I decided this was it and I was not going to renew. What I find surprising is that after I let it go by some miracle woman are looking at me again and sending me messages all the time. Of course now I don't have the access to read these "messages". My point is Match.com is trolling me trying to trick me into re-submitting my subscription. I find this distasteful and regardless of what they might say they do this shady crap to get you to sign back up. So if you have signed up and let it go like myself and or are thinking of signing up to see why you are being checked out so much. Just beware its most likely them trolling your page trying to get you to join. I would recommend dating in the real world and not on these money making date sites.

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.
