G214I’m sure most of our readers won’t deny to having at least given a try with
the online dating scene. As for online dating sites, there are many, but the biggest
and most popular of them all is Match.com. Well it looks like Match.com now has
their hands full, the law firm Arias, Ozzello &
Gignac is accusing Match.com "of goading members into
renewing their subscriptions through bogus romantic e-mails sent out by company
employees. In some instances, the suit contends, people on the Match payroll
even went on sham dates with subscribers as a marketing ploy." It used to be
that you’d be nervous about meeting someone offline because you’d fear that
they’d be an ax murderer… now you can also worry about whether or not their
being paid to be there. (Source: News.com)

    Their name should probably be changed to “watch the con”, from “match dot com”.

    Now Match is saying that they’ve gotten the employee to sign an avidavit that she was never and employee. Yeah right.

    Isn’t that too easy. If anybody brings up an allegation against a giant like Match that seriously damages its reputation, do you really believe that all Match would do would be to get the person to sign an avidavit? No way, it’d be more like suing the pants off that woman.

    The case of her signing an avidavit just means she’s been bribed with a few millions to keep here quiet. Scams will never end. Support the free sites: oasisoflove.com and end the greed.
