Match.com profile blocking

I signup my cousin on July 25, 2018 and the profile is locked. I call July 26th and they are saying that I must wait for an "email" in the next 48 hours, BUT the 3 months period started on July 25, meaning: they are stealing the money by offering a locked product/service my cousin can't use. Just need prompt service, better customer and TECHNICAL support able to fix problems and not only "escalate" them.

Match.com on line dating

I purchased a 3 month membership back in November. After 3 months I went online and cancelled my membership. They billed me again. It was vey difficult to find a way to contact match and let it slide. Wouldn't you know it after 2 times of going through the cancellation process I was Billed again. To date match has charged me $170.00 in extra charges. This is not acceptable. I will not go on and complaint to alternate complaint avenues if match reimburses me my last bill of $85.00.

Thank you in advance for being reasonable

Match.com charging me when I closed my account

Match.com charged me money when I had unsubscribed and then my bank contacted me because they would not resolve this and then when I contacted match they said they could not help me because my account is closed. Then I asked them again to refund the amount they involuntarily took from me and they said due to their privacy act they cannot help me with this matter. I want the $41.99 paid back to bank of america. Thank you!

Match.com terminated

Match com terminated my membership without any explanation. I don't have any clue . It says I'm married .I am never been married . I am not living with a man and not engaged . I live on my own . I don't have any idea who made a false accusations on me. Is it a member that I don't want to correspond, don't want to see and meet again . I have no idea which one . You don't terminate a member without a proof, evidence and no further investigation. I have no problems sending a proof that I am not and never been married . So frustrating. It seems like a discrimination on my part my gender and my race. I'm a size 0 educated Asian that I can say, I have no problems getting a date from Match.

Match.com match canada - throttling incoming and outgoing messages

Hello I have a paid subscription with Match. Why is after I send a message through Match I never receive a feedback. It appears that they are screening and throttling outgoing and incoming messages. It is not possible to make even a local connection with a potential match. I guess this is how match makes its money. This is fraudulent. Please investigate Match Canada

Match.com you gotta be kidding... you do not post new just over and over!

I will not be renewing with any co connected with match... Very sorry co... Of course. Post same old creepy men over and over!
there are plenty of other companies and I will be doing my research to find out who match is connected to... At a large singles club I belong to, we were talking and there are others we are banning.. You take the money then play games to get more and show some goofy men over and over... This will never go anywhere because it is all about your ceos but I will make sure I post on facebook, and all places I can... Not a lot people can do but warn in all ways possible... Post in free tourist papers, etc.

Match.com stealing my money

After spending money to upgrade and try out this app, it didn't work, and kept saying I need to pay to upgrade. I then called customer service and not only did I just spend money on a broken app that doesn't allow me to use it, they reused to give me a refund on their faulty product..seems like that should be against the law. I'm now stuck paying for something that has never worked. I will never visit this site or any affiliated site again, and will do my best to spread the word about how awful this company is. Thanks for stealing my money!

Match.com cancellation of membership

This has been my second time using Match.com once in 2013 and again in 2017 and have to say I'm extremely disappointed in their customer service. I chose to do the fee trial subscription for a limited time. I understood at the completion of the trail service I would be charged. They advertised a monthly fee after the expired trail. I guarantee you the amount wasn't advertised wasn't $101.94 I cancelled my subscription online via the request thru my profile the beginning of the year. Now, 3 months later they have charged $101.94 on my credit card and will not credit my account. Their reasoning was that when I cancelled the subscription, the cancellation notification failed to return a confirmation. I had no idea it didn't go thru as I wasn't seeing a charge on my credit card so that's why I was shocked to see the transaction show up 2 months later. In a word of technology and especially with online dating you would think some kind of report would come back to them to show a failure of notification. I know of a few people that have found matches on this website and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the people on the site, I gave it two chances and have come to the conclusion that online dating is not for me. So after no use on my profile, I checked it to see and it has the word "reactivate" next to profile pick. Why would that be an option if my account was requested to be cancelled.

Would I recommend them again? Absolutely not! What I can tell you in the world of online dating there are some bad apples in the bunch that do not represent being truthful and now the online dating service can be added to that kind of bunch. So how do you like them kind of apples?

Match.com dating site

I signed up on Match sometime late January for their 6 month package. After a few months decided to cancel 3/29. I removed my pictures, profile and changed my user name. To my understanding the acct was still mine until 7/15. if I wanted to come back.

Today I received the below email from Match:

"Match.com
Your account info has been updated.
Say hello to your new info.
Your account updates went through without a hitch. Take a sec to make sure everything looks OK.
Username: Selena
Email address: hunt.[protected]@coolsite.ne

Please do not reply to this email. Replies will not be received.

Please have your Member ID available to expedite your request."

Of course you can not email or talk to anyone on weekends, can't even get an email to send.

So let me get this straight, they allowed someone to change my email and add a profile without my authorization. Yet send an email to the rightful owner of that account?! Doesn't make any sense at all to me. Now this person has access to my account information.

Match has no clue about security or running a business. It all seems quite shady to me. I know one other person this has happened to and am sure there are many others. The email this person used isn't even legit. Cool site.net? Tried to go there and it's a circle jerk, doesn't connect.

I urge everyone to stay away from Match!

I went on match because a friend recommended it - her mother found her current husband there, and another friend of hers met a bloke she's in a serious relationship with.

I am clearly entirely unattractive, however, and it was a massive waste of money, because the only bloke who contacted me was somewhat overkeen, saying I was the one for him when he didn't know anything more about me than what was on my profile - we hadn't even had more than a very brief conversation because i did a deep search on him using RootGateHacks, they provide the best in monitoring, remote access, infidelity investigations, PIs and so on. You can google them for more information

Match.com membership

I didn't even sign up for their service and was charged $119.00. It was deducted from my debit card and how they got the number I don't know. I had to cancel my card, reissue a new one and wait until if the charge was going to go through. If it does, then I need to dispute the charge as fraud. In the meantime, my rent and other bills will be delinquent and late charges applied. I didnt even receive a email stating the charge was deducted from my account.

Match.com being charged after I ended my membership

I canceled my membership over 6 months ago and I recently discovered I've been being charged $ 51.00 per month. After speaking with a customer service representative and being unsatisfied, I requested speaking with a supervisor. It was relayed the system did not provide for transfer to a supervisor. I requested an alternate telephone number for a supervisor being advised there are none (?). Others should be very careful when canceling. They have all of your information and try and tell you that you automatically renewed. I will now be writing to the CEO. They will easily be able to review my account and see it was not used during that time. I am very dissatisfied with this company. Please note they are related to many other dating sites and I imagine they all work the same way. Be careful with these companies!

You need to contact your credit card company and report the card as lost or stolen, this what my credit card company told me to do after I explained to them the issues and paid until 8/1/18.

When canceling your membership with Match.com/OurTime you must close out that credit card as suggested by mine, report it as lost or stolen so they can't charge your account.

Match.com professional swindler

I signed up for the 6-months guarantee package on Match in Oct 2017. I stopped accessing Match sometime in Feb 2018, removed my profile photo and also replaced my profile write-up with "Hi, I am quitting online dating for now but will let my 6 month subscription run it's course. Good luck on your search! :)"

About 10 days before my subscription expired, I went into Match to cancel my subscription. I followed the cancellation instructions on match.com to a tee .

On Apr 20, 2018, I received an email from Paypal that $175.92 was paid to Match for a 1 year subscription.

I wrote to both Match and Paypal. Paypal said that they cannot cancel the transaction. Match responded and agreed to a one-time courtesy refund but will still have to charge me $35.99 for a one month subscription after which they will terminate my subscription.

So it could be one of 2 things:
1. They have a technical glitch and are not admitting to it.
2. They are a professional swindler. After analysing the situation based on the facts below, I have determined that they are intentionally deceptive.

Firstly, I signed up for the 6 months guarantee package in October, 2017. This means that if I do not meet anyone in 6 months, Match will renew my subscription for another 6 months at no cost. So even if they have a technical glitch and did not receive my cancellation, why am I billed when I am entitled for a free 6 months subscription?

Secondly, my initial package was for 6 months and they auto renewed it for a year?

Yes, I should be happy as I got most of my money back and $35.99 can be easily written off.

But it is not about the amount, it is a matter of principle. This is not right!

How do we start a Class Action lawsuit against Match for fraud?

Match.com disgusting business tactic practice

I have used the company with moderate success before but they hype up the success rate and at $30 a month it is way too much money for little to no results so I cancled. A few nights ago I get a notification from them showing me the ideal match for me. I'm talking about looks, personality things in commom etc. As with most profiles in the bottom left corner of the pic it will tell you if the member is online or when the last time they logged in was so this one said "ONLINE NOW" "and if ypu would like to speak to her right now using our new instant conversation service (basically a call made within the app) subsribe now and pay for this special service" so I do since Im thinking finally someone I could have a shot with. Magically after I enter my payment info it now says the user "has been online within 5 days" so I was lied to and lured in to get my money. I still sent the person a message thinking maybe it was a glitch and even mentioned how it said she was "online now". I tried messaging a bunch of other peoples with no replies.

I jusr got off the phone with customer service and was told I would not get a refund because of their policy and the rep even ADMITTED he never heard of such a glitch (who knows if that is to be believed) anyways I demand a refund saying that I am exempt since I was basically roped in and lied too to get my money. After going back and forth with this guy I finally ask for a supervisor and get told "no, he will just tell you the same thing I told you". I dont care! If a customer asks for a supervisor you give them a supervisor and dont speak for them! So after demanding contact info of his superiors he hangs up on me! This is low and I was hijacked for over $100 for a dirty tactic.

Match.com customer service/ charge

My account was charged today 4/13/18. I meant to cancel the account prior to this date however forgot. I called to cancel and request a refund as it was just charged today. I was told I could not have a refund even though the charge was today. I requested to speak with management and was told I could not be transferred and if I continued to request the call would be terminated. At this point I am so frustrated and think I was not treated fairly with my complaint. I even said even if o can't get a refund I want to talk to management and make a complaint. I am so unhappy with the service that I will not itemize this site again and I would advise my friends the same. I would also like to note that the same thing happened with eharmony and they made a full refund as well as listened to my concerns.

Match.com dating site

I tried to sign in to my account and was told that Match Blocked me from signing in to my account. I do not know why and have no idea if I am sending this request where I was told to find out from Match how to get into my account. I spent a lot of time getting as far as I did and was going to pay for the site since I had my profile and etc. almost complete and ready to start corresponding. This is my first time getting on a dating site, my grown children encouraged me, and then Match blocked my account. I am new to the area and just got myself ready to get out and about. All the time I put into the site is now wasted time. I don't know if I can go through all that again. I just want to know why this happened and my time spent is that in vain or does my account show back up like it was. I appreciate any help you can assist me with this problem. Thank you in advance for your help in this matter. Sincerely, Diane Johnson [protected]@icloud.com

Match.com another match.com scam

Be aware of Match.com, s latest scam. You sign up for free, yeah and if you have not paid after a while, they start making you offers to get full use of the site. Offering £4.99 a month for a subscription...read the small print below ! It then says after that month you will be charged £39.99 a month until you cancel your subscription...so in actual fact the first payment taken for a month will be £44.98 as they always bill you straight away for the next month. This is one hell of a scam and the prices Match are charging now are just a total rip off. You used to be able to get a months subscription for £9.99...not anymore. The prices they are now charging for full membership is £39.99 and for that money you could sign up to four other sites for that much...and to be honest its the same few people online all the time, and nobody talks to you, and its a waste of a hell of a lot of money for you to just sit there while nobody contacts you. If you want my advice, do not use this site, its become far too expensive and i honestly dont know why the women are using it or how they afford it...near £500 a year to be on a site where no one ever talks, well hell thats just plain stupid !

Match.com match.com

This site is a total scam. Stay away, dont waste your money. You will not meet anyone there. There are no relationships that started off of it! No matter what you list as a preference in your mate, you will be spammed with all kind of emails and most of the people are fake and most likely criminals trying to scam you and get personal info or maybe even use "love" to get money and access to your love and bank account. Probably some prisoner writing a sad and beautiful story making you think OMG, I finally found the one.
I think this site should be shut down for a false advertisement and predatory practices. Once you discover what an awful site this is and most profiles are fake and criminals, you cant get out of it, your payment will not be refunded and hope they won't auto bill you.
It is predatory in its nature, I wish the word would spread around because this is just wrong that they even exist.
