Online Daters Sue Matchmaking Web Sites for Fraud

Posted by Zonk on from the bad-email dept.

BBCWatcher writes "According to Reuters, Match.com and Yahoo! are the subjects of separate class-action lawsuits from 'frustrated online daters.' Yahoo! Personals is accused of advertising fictitious profiles in order to make the service look more popular. In the Match.com case, 30-something professional Matthew Evans contends that Match.com sent a female employee as 'date bait,' hoping he'd tell others about the attractive women they could meet. 'The relationship went nowhere, according to his suit,' which claims Match.com violated the RICO Act."

    Yup, if you're from slashdot and you're hitting the singles websites then you need to stay away from the hot chicks and the babes with some social skills. Just stick to the ugly nerdy girls who live in their father's basements. Just like the chicks you find on slashdot. That is, in an alternate reality where chicks read slashdot.

    Now, I'm ready to be flamed by those who lack a sense of humor.

    You are socially inept.

    What you are describing is rude and shows bad manners.
