I sat on the free trial for several days, considering whether I would join, during that time a got a message that I had one message I could answer for free. Attached to it was an email. I was so new to this, and excited to have taken this step. Anyways I paid for six months but upon the first day, this scammer had his hooks into me. Convinced me, that in order to work on a relationship, we should leave the site. For three weeks, loved bombed then, he said he wanted to send me something from over seas. He sure did, 148 long stemmed roses and a teady bear. Then 4 weeks, things started to get weird. He's asking me for 5000us. Now he's angry! I'm like I don't have that kind of money and a man that is able to send me that amount of flowers, doesn't need to be asking me for money. Then the extortion came, I was video you. I'm like so what. Not much of a video. But now I was scared. Had the police in the house, notified credit bureau, knew my identy meaning pictures have been stolen. Moneygram and western union notified. FDF Flowers, note they didn't return my call they promised. And then match... Fought with them at how they were putting members at risk with their site. Argued that they were aware that email was sent to me and that they should have notified me, I was at risk. Don't you think a flag would go up, joins one day and then the next gone. My life has been a mess for two months dealing with this ordeal. I was ready to love again and now I'm too afraid too. So much more to say, but you get the idea. It's not safe, from the young to the old, scammers are there and ready to bounce and match does nothing to protect you.
