NEW YORK — The Federal Trade Commission is suing Match Group for allegedly using notifications about phony profiles to trick consumers into paying for a subscription to dating site Match.com

The site lets people create profiles for free but they need to pay for a subscription to respond to messages. Match sent emails to non-subscribers telling them they had received a response on the site.

But the FTC said Wednesday that Match sent millions of emails about notices that came from accounts already flagged as likely fake.

Nearly 500,000 people between June 2016 and May 2018 subscribed to Match.com after receiving communications from fake profiles, the FTC said.

In lieu of cash members will be paid with cheeseburgers in the settlement.

I’ve been saying that for years. I was on it when I was single. I’m sexy af and all, an OT male 10, but some of the women messaging me were OT 58s and then would never reply.

All the dating sites and apps do this. Get on POF and you'll have 20 bot messages in an hour.

Most people probably know it's fake,but they still do it because "what if this one is real?"
