I quickly used this site and found it about average / the money they wanted was too much in the end / I usually just used to give girls a virtual kiss and some girls used to write back

I joined the free section first the intention of upgrading membership later. After a couple of weeks I decided this site wasn't for me so I hid my profile from view pending cancellation. That is when I started to receive emails from match.com telling me that I have received emails and if I paid a joining fee I could read them. 6 emails in 2 weeks from beautiful 28-32 year old all over Australia. I received 15 winks from profiles that did not exist and 12 winks from places like Roto NSW. I looked at google maps and the only building at Roto is a railway siding. Of the profiles that did exist they were aged between 28-32, beautiful, single, looking for a man between 40-60 or 40-80, within 80km. I am 61 yo.

I joined this site and everyone that I have started a conversation with ends up being a scam. Talk for awhile online and then they want your email or want to msg through yahoo etc...go back into Match and guess what there profile has gone!!!!! I want my money back Match.com. I have sent two emails to them about two of the scam profiles and have not heard back. I gave it a rest for some months and went back on a few days ago and guess what it happened again another scam profile!! Does anyone know a phone number for Match. I am in Australia

Had several contact to female members(I'm male) first thing they wanted was my email address. Gave them my mobile number and received text messages from Malaysia and China. The site is crowded with profiles from [censored word removed]. Mostly hot only 1 picture, mostly portrait. Suddenly I couldn't log in anymore but had paid already for 3 month, almost 100 AUD. I should call the 1 800 number in the US to clear problems with my account. [censored word removed]. Shame on you match.com.

That they closed my account so I don't get in touch with [censored word removed] anymore.
If you fond new [censored word removed] and told them off, they left and a new beauty appeared with similar profile. They're lazy so the copy the profile.

I had two encounters with men from this site, both turned out to be scammers one working from Nigeria and one from UK I lost $3500 to first, nothing to second. Would never use a dating site again. I plead with any woman out there please be careful and avoid this site. I do have documentation to verify everything stated.

Nothing in place to check legitamitcy of members

I wrote a review here about a month ago and I falsely accused Match.com of taken an unauthorised amount out of my credit card account. I have asked to have that review retracted. Since that review I have met 2 gorgeous women through Match.com and another 2-3 are possible to meet as well. The key here is you need to be persistent and despite the odd scammer you don't get discouraged.
Rewarding for those who persist. Customer service.
Some scammers

Somehow I have two accounts under different passwords. Each time I go in I am sent to "sign up" page. I have sent many letters to sort problem out & cancel but to no avail. Received an A/c today. Most matches are from the Eastern States.The help phone number is not available. I would like to be re-embursed for this latest bill, but can't see it happening.

Very poor service, and expensive when one can't get in touch with your matches.

I had so much fun meeting new people safely. I was nervous at first but once I learned to trust my instincts I had a ball. I met lots of interesting men. Now my husband and I are approaching our fifth anniversary of meeting and our third wedding anniversary! He was the only man I sent a wink to and I was the only woman he received a wink from. I guess the dating experience really is a woman's world. We couldn't be happier. Thank you Match. Com!
Easy and fun

I visited the site for a giggle after being directed by an ad. aha, silly me as i didn't realise it was a sight that prayed on stupidy and vulnerability of sincere people trying to find another person to share their today with. No one knows the future as it only happens in the present. Presently i know it is a loser site and will probably remain so albeit profitable.
It wasted my time but occupied a few minutes of idleness

About 80% of the profiles are nigerian-style scammers after money. Most of them are totally obvious, some even duplicate the same wording for profile after profile. The so-called customer care people don't care, they don't even reply to messages, they just take your money. Run a mile from this!

I decided to give this dating site a go because I heard is really good in the US. But now that I've been on this website for nearly a week I realised it is not worth it. I already specified the type of guys I wanna date and they keep sending me people outside my criteria. I feel I have thrown my money into the garbish bin. Customer service is not that good either, I asked them a question and had to figure out how to solve the problem myself, I got a response 4 days later without an apology. This site really is terrible.

I was a member of match.com.au but after finding I spent most of my time dealing with people who only what money, and reporting them only to find them back on line with a new account I cancelled my membership. so you would think if I cancelled my membership my profile would not be there right? wrong! after cancelling my membership and not having been to the site for more then 6 months they just billed me for a new membership just out of the blue I was shocked to say the lest. when I say 6 months ago I cancelled my membership it was longer then that but hay they have still taken money out that they had no right to. I have had to get a new bank card.

I left the site I was no longer a member and they took money out of my bank

I had a browse on match last night and was astounded at the amount of great looking women from Ararmac QLD. This town has a population of 300 to 400 people spread over 1200 kilometres!!!!! There is no possible way it could have been. I sent an email to Match.com stating this. I got no response and alot of the single Ararmac girls are now MIA from the site. But if you google the towns you can see that it is a scam. For instance the amount of women in mining towns is greatly exaggerated, these towns are heavily male populated. Like I said google the towns population and region and you will soon see the imbalance. Hope this helps someone from getting scammed.

I joined match.com because I thought it was an old brand so it had to be good. I paid $110. But when I started communicating, soon I noticed that many of the members just disappeared. I honestly don't know why. I also received loads of fake messages, from women who were on the other side of the globe and urgently needed money!

I contacted them to cancel the membership but they did not answer so I called my bank and asked for a dispute. Only the bank managed to get my money back.

Very old system, their software has not been improved since 2004. Lots of scam and fake users. No customer service. Expensive
