As a follow up to the ridiculous Cap’n Crunch case [summary: woman sued for being fraudulently mislead into believing her Cap'n Crunch with Crunch Berries contained real berries] another case has come up. This one maybe has a little more substance.

A New York man is suing Match.com (the popular match making site) claiming that Match.com’s practices lead to “humiliation and disapointment” for people who are rejected. The man claims that many of the profiles on match.com are actually inactive and therefore other users may spend time and emotion on these people who are no longer using their accounts. The lack of response is humiliating.

The fraud factor comes into play because Match.com posts profiles and pictures of singles who cannot respond to the people seeking dates because they aren’t actually using the site. Users pay anywhere from $19.99 to $39.99 per month to have access to other single’s profiles, and allegedly, only some of the profiles are real. Paying users are being misled says this NY man. Seems to me there might be something here.
