      I have used Match in the past and had no issues. I decided to sign up again, so I created my profile and paid for 6 months. The next day I could not sign in and reset password did not send an email. I contact support and they told me I had been banned. I asked them several times what I had done so that I could defend myself and they refused to answer. I had barely set up my profile and hadn't interacted with anyone. Now they're just stealing my money. I will never use them or any of their other sites again.

      I have used Match multiple times over the years and it used to be a great platform to meet people. Unfortunately, it has completely gone downhill. I recently paid for a 3-month subscription, but the features I signed up for are not what Match actually granted me access to. I even sent their customer support a photo of the subscription feature list proving the discrepancy. Instead of fixing the issue, they sent me multiple emails giving me a complete runaround. Once this company has your money, they refuse to rectify their mistakes. It is incredibly disappointing because I used to like this site. Save your money. I will absolutely not be returning once my current subscription runs out!

      Match, and most online dating, used to be great, but now they all are horrible. Match is the worst, they are 100% aware of "FAKE" profiles, but they don't care. ZERO customer service, a big waste of time, I encourage you to waste theirs. Pay the minimum amount with a credit card, then dispute the charge as soon as you get a FAKE profile match. It costs them money to respond to the dispute, and it's free for you. I am optimistic that one day, an honest online dating site/app will exist for a small fee.

      I was on Match.com for about 2 weeks and wanted to share a picture with someone I was talking to. I posted a picture that I had taken of a sunset. Match reviewed it and then posted it. The next time I went to log in, I could not. I was told that my account was blocked and I was banned. I contacted customer service, which can only be reached through email. No phone. No online chat. I asked why I was blocked and they responded that they reviewed my account and that my account would not be reinstated.

      I filed an appeal explaining that I had just posted a picture of a sunset that I took and that it was not a stock photo or AI generated and I did not know that was against their rules. Their response was that my account had been reviewed and the ban would remain. There was nothing left that I could do. The responses were terse and rude. Worse experience I have ever had with customer service. So I was banned just because I posted a picture, which I had no idea would lead to such a result with no offer of a refund even though I had a 3 month subscription. I would never recommend this service to anyone. Any other dating site has to be more reasonable.

      I paid the money through Google Pay which is what they only accept and they could not verify my phone number which I have for 15 years. I contact them and said I want my money back because I cannot use services due to our verification on your end not working allowing me access. Match responded and said, "It's not our issue and you have to deal with Google Pay." I file with Google Pay and of course they refuse to credit back money. It is like they are a monopoly here and you have no recourse and will pay for a service you can't log into or use. If you use a service like this whatever you do use your credit card. Because if not you will be screwed exactly like me!

      I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Match.com. I paid $9.95 expecting to receive access to the features that were presented to me, including being able to view and respond to messages. Instead, I was still blocked from seeing messages and using the service as expected. The way Match.com presents its memberships and benefits is extremely confusing and feels misleading. The pricing and features are not clearly explained, and it appears users are encouraged to pay only to discover that they still do not have the access they thought they were purchasing.

      I would not recommend Match.com to anyone. The experience has been frustrating, disappointing, and a waste of money. A dating site should make it easy for people to communicate, not constantly restrict access and push users toward paying more. I am requesting that my $9.95 charge be reviewed and refunded because I did not receive the service I paid for. I would tell everybody to never do business with this site.

      After a year+ of being single, I decided to give online dating one last try. I hadn’t tried Match in years, so thought I’d give it a try. I signed up less than a month ago… and I cancelled my subscription today. Absolutely horrible experience. Aside from the fact that the “dating pool” is tainted, this app makes the experience 10x worse. I have never encountered so many obviously fake/chatbot profiles, as I did on Match. All very similar looking men with ridiculous pics- photoshopped over the pyramids, etc.

      Not to mention, although I paid for the platinum subscription, my set preferences were completely ignored. I was inundated with “likes” from people outside my age range and geographic radius. It made wading through the people tedious and time consuming- just to find people with interest in my actual area! Want to change that, so people who don’t meet your set preferences can’t find you? Oh, that’s an additional $10 a month. It’s such a money-making scam. I also would delete people who had “liked” me only to have them recurrently pop back into my “likes”. Lastly, the app would show me as “active” during times of the night I was sleeping. How do I know? I had people messaging me asking why I was up so late. And yes, I diligently closed the app when not in use. The worst part?? I still have to pay for 2 more months although I cancelled this garbage, scam subscription. I want a refund!!!

      I feel like It’s a shady dating website. My personal experiences felt like they didn’t like that I dislike the people that I thought they were not my matches, then they blocked my account without any explanations, even though I had followed all of their website policies. I feel like there was no freedom of my own rights to choose who I like. I filled out an appeal form, they told me they couldn’t find my account and then refunded me for the fee that I paid for my 6 month membership fee. The worst dating website experience.

      I started an inquiry this afternoon about Match and found it to be nothing I wanted to be involved in. They claim I cannot cancel anything after starting off with the service, where they explicitly stated I could retract at any time. I never signed up for an app, a subscription, or authorized any such. I highly recommend staying away from Match. I do not know how to delete, and they conveniently have no customer service dept able to support my request. I am taking them to the Better Business Bureau ASAP.

      Bait and switch tactics. No such thing as a "free" account, although their website states you have the option and gives the exact parameters you "receive". When I contacted them to ask, they just continually said I was wrong and had to buy to get any use of the service. Constantly being taken down with no explanation why. Days lost to get working again. Ignore distance parameters and does not let you put in match preferences, and you get responses from anything under the sun. It just feels dirty after a few times of using it.

      I have been using Match now for a while. Here is what I think. There are many scammers on the site. I agree now with other reviews after I have seen for myself. There are absolutely no doubts in my mind it's true. The fake female profiles are used to initiate the scam set up. They want you send them your cell number and then move you off the site for further private communication. Some profiles are real. Most will never answer your interest in them because the list is too long unless you pay more for a Super like!! Upgrade to diamond for better luck?

      Most dating apps require or offer the opportunity to "Verify" yourself. That means that after creating your profile, you then take a selfie scan that proves that you are the same person as in the posted pictures. On Tinder? I only trusted verified profiles. I know that some people don't trust facial scans, so if someone seems interesting, I give them a chance. Match.com doesn't even have the option of facial verification. Just your phone #. This site is almost entirely fake scam profiles. I have been catfished in every possible way. I will get off this app as soon as my 3 month trial runs out.

I reached out to customer service which there is no number so you can talk to anyone, so you’re going back-and-forth with emails which I did. Two days later I got an email saying that I needed to request an appeal due to banned, I had no reason to be banned. I responded back letting them know that I did nothing wrong. I didn’t really communicate with anyone, only to be told two days later that someone named Tyrone did some fraudulent and because I said hello, which is all I did I was banned.

      I have done two appeals only to receive a response, telling me what they’ve already told me about this Tyrone person. It has been a week now and I still am not able to log on even after sending messages over to customer service. From my perspective, Match is not a good site because you're banned for whatever reason and then you’re not notified as to why, I constantly reached out to them. But they do not hesitate to take your money from your account and it’s hard to get your refund back due to customer service. So I would say customer service real bad and they aggressively take your money even if you’re not enjoying the site and even if you have not been able to log into the site.
