Match.com has been sued by a man who says the online dating
agency wrote him romantic emails and even sent him on a sham date
with an attractive employee to encourage him to renew his
subscription, according to Reuters.
California-resident Matthew Evans filed the suit in a Los
Angeles District Court, and believes the actions represent a
pattern of behaviour by the US company. His lawsuit is seeking
class action status.
Match.com denied that the firm pays staff to go on dates with
subscribers or send them bogus emails.
In a separate lawsuit, Yahoo! is accused of posting fictitious
profiles of singles to its rival dating service.
