‘Tis the season to sue the stockings off the online dating industry. I received this from a law firm which is looking to start a class action lawsuit against Singlesnet.
We have received complaints from people who sign up for free and list their profile. After signing up, the clients receive e-mails indicating that they have received a message from another member. In order to respond to the message the client has to sign up for the premium service. Turns out that the “message” the client received was never really a message but instead was simply an “automatic match” that Singlesnet set up. The way it is set up is very deceiving.
Other clients have complained that after signing up they receive excessive “flirts” and “messages” from other members. However, when the client contacts the member the member states that they never initiated the contact. Our client suspects the messages were sent from singlesnet to keep them interested in the service. I have seen this same complaint in many places on the Internet.
We are interested in speaking with as many people as possible to determine whether our client’s situations are simply isolated incidents or are part of a bigger problem.
I’ll be keeping a close eye on this one. The complaint is common, but I bet their is fine print in the terms of service that allows Singlesnet to send flirts and messages from non-humans.
