OPW -- June 15 -- I asked Match.com for a statement regarding the McGinn suit where Match is accused of 'defrauding customers who paid for the dating service by failing to disclose that it lumps together current subscribers and canceled members and displays them as the same.' The CEO of Match, Greg Blatt, states... "Match.com's continued success depends upon the success of our members in making online connections and turning them into meaningful relationships offline. The allegation that we would deceive our subscribers by encouraging them to connect with inactive members therefore makes no sense and is contradicted by our 14-year record and the hundreds of thousands of members who find someone special on Match.com every year. We understand that finding romance, offline or online, can at times be emotional and personal, and we wish Mr. McGinn well in his search. But his lawsuit is without merit, and we will defend it vigorously." |
