Match.com Lawsuit Filed Against Match Group Inc

A suit filed against Match.com alleges that it failed to protect free users from scams. As part of a phishing scheme, it forced free users to purchase paid subscriptions to read communications from other members. Once the free members paid for their subscriptions, they learned the content of the messages and figured out who was on the other end of the communications. As many as 25% of Match users are victims of scams, fraudulent advertising, or extortion scams, according to the lawsuit.

Yuliana Avalos and Harrington were part-time models in the match.com lawsuit

In a recent court case, former porn princess Harrington, 31, and part-time model Yuliana Avalos were included as plaintiffs in the match.com lawsuit. Both claimed that their photographs and likenesses were being used without their consent for bogus dating profiles. The lawsuit also states that Harrington and Meltech, which owns the copyright to their images, were booted from the suit.

Although the dating website presumably offers a legitimate platform for American citizens across all fifty states, a significant number of profiles are fraudulent and posted by scammers and con artists. The profiles also contain illicit photos taken from modeling agencies and Facebook. The models’ pictures are also used on the site to lure men to the website. The models’ photos were used in “romance scams” – photos of men and women who have no intention of dating.

They were booted from the site after selling sexy pictures to Nigeria-based Internet scammers

The Department of Justice recently busted the Nigerian Romance Scam, which bilked victims of more than $46 million. It has been reported that many people wonder why they would send money to people they don’t know. The scammers have the answer: they use the images of their victims to lure people into a relationship. They threaten to expose their pornographic habits and extort money from victims.

Match Group will pay civil penalties, costs, and victim restitution

In a settlement reached in July, Match Group, Inc., will pay $2 million in civil penalties, costs, and victim restitution, and provide consumers with full transparency about auto-renewing subscriptions. The company also agreed to make certain changes to its business practices, including providing consumers with an email confirmation of transactions after making a payment and making it easy to cancel subscriptions. The agreement aims to prevent future occurrences of the alleged violations.

The settlement is the latest step in a lengthy legal battle. The Match Group has admitted that it violated California’s anti-sex harassment law and has agreed to pay civil penalties, costs, and victim restitution to victims. But this settlement does not mean the company is doing wrong. The company was also ordered to pay civil penalties, costs, and victim restitution, as well as pay victims’ legal fees.

It’s a “measure of last resort”

The Vice President named a task force made up of scientists to help him navigate the response to the Covid-19 virus. But top advisors disagree on lockdown measures. The former U.S. surgeon general disagrees. He says lockdowns are a “measure of last resort.”
