Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

It isn't just a coincidence that until I bought my membership I was getting 2-3 emails a day, supposedly from women who wanted to chat or get to know me. Now that I have paid, I have not received even the 1st email, even though I replied to some of the ones I had received. I have been taken and I don't like it. They should have to refund my money!

This Service is for Amusement Purposes.

1. You understand and accept that our site, while built in the form of a personals service, is an entertainment service. All profiles are provided for the amusement and entertainment of our members and our users. You are not guaranteed that you will find a date, a companion, or an activity partner, or that you will meet any of our members in person.

2. Online CupidTM Communications: You understand, acknowledge, and agree that some of the user profiles posted on this site may be fictitious, and are associated with to our "Online CupidsTM", ("OC"). Our OC's work for the site in an effort to stimulate conversation with users, in order to encourage further and broader participation in all of our site's services, including the posting of additional information and/or pictures to the users' profiles. The OC's also serve to proactively monitor user activities and communications to ensure compliance with our Terms and Conditions. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that the information, text, and pictures contained in the OC's profiles do not pertain to any actual person, but are included for entertainment purposes only. Nothing contained in any OC profile is intended to describe or resemble any real person - living or dead. Any similarity between OC user profile descriptions and any person is purely coincidental. Please also note that a single OC may be associated with more than one (1) profile on our site.

You further understand, acknowledge, and agree that, from time-to-time, OC's may contact both free users and paid users via computer-generated Instant Messages or emails for purposes of encouraging further or broader participation in our site's services and/or to monitor user activity. These messages may be transmitted to multiple recipients at the same or similar time(s). Messages from OC's will contain the uniform designation "OC" to notify the user that a message has been received from an Online Cupid. In the event the user responds to an OC message, either via email or Instant Message, the user may receive one or more additional personal or form responses from the OC. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that no physical meeting will ever take place between you and our OC's, and that the exchange of messages between you and an OC is for entertainment purposes, as well as to encourage further or broader participation in our site's services and/or to monitor user activities. Notwithstanding the above, the user is not guaranteed a response to any message sent to an OC (or another user).

We reserve the right to utilize OC's in connection with other features of our site, either now existing, or to be developed in the future (E.g.: Hotlists, Friend Invites, etc.). You understand, acknowledge, and agree that any involvement or communication with OC's shall be subject to the conditions, limitations, and acknowledgements contained in this Section and elsewhere in this Agreement.

Nothing contained in this Section shall create any right to, or expectation of, interaction between users and OC's. Any question regarding OC participation on our site should be directed to our Customer Service Department.

3. You understand and accept that when you attempt to contact other users, these users may find amusement in your profile or communications. You understand and accept that no communications between you and other users is private, even if the Member profile to which you respond is created by us. You hereby release us and all other Members from any liability for invasion of privacy, defamation, false light, and related torts, in the event that your communications or profile are made public - even if they are made public for the sole purpose of amusing others at your expense.

TERMS & CONDITIONS/USER AGREEMENT

Effective Date: January 1st 2005
Last Modified: January 1st 2005

I. PRELIMINARY PROVISIONS

A. Party Definitions and Introductory Terms - The operative parties referred to in this user Agreement are defined as follows:

1. Deniro Marketing, LLC., is the publisher and operator of the following websites, and this Agreement applies to all of them equally:

www.datinggold.com
Hereinafter, Deniro Marketing, LLC. d/b/a any one of the above websites shall be referred to as "COMPANY". When first-person pronouns are used in this Policy, (us, we, our, ours, etc.) these provisions are referring to Deniro Marketing, LLC. d/b/a any one of the above sites, or as any other site that we may choose to publish in the future. Additionally, when the terms "The SITE" or "SITE" are used, these terms refer to any site published by us, unless a site is specifically exempt from this policy.

2. You, the User - As the user of this site, this policy will refer to the user as "you" or through any second-person pronouns, such as "yours, " etc. Hereinafter, the user of the site shall be referred to in applicable second-person pronouns. You certify that you are over 18 years of age.

3. User vs. Member - For the purposes of this Agreement, all Members are Users, but not all Users are Members. This Agreement applies to all Users whether they are members or not. You become a User by accessing this Site in any way. You need not become a Member of the Site to make this Agreement apply to You.

B. What this Agreement is - This Agreement is a legal contract between You and the Publisher. You should treat it as any other legal contract by reading its provisions carefully, as they will affect Your legal rights. By accessing the Site in any manner, You are affirmatively agreeing to be bound by all of the terms contained in this User Agreement. You may not pick and choose which terms apply to You. If You do not agree with all of the terms in this Agreement, You must cease all access and use of the Site and any other services provided by the Publisher.

C. Consideration - Consideration for Your acquiescence to all of the provisions in this Agreement has been provided to You in the form of allowing You to use Our Site and Our Services. You agree that such Consideration is both adequate, and that it is received upon your viewing or downloading any portion of any of the Publisher's website(s).

D. Electronic Signatures / Assent Required:

1. Nobody is authorized to access this Site unless they have signed this Agreement. Such signature does not need to be a physical signature, since this Agreement is intended to be governed by the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act). You manifest Your agreement to this User Agreement by taking any act demonstrating Your assent thereto. Most likely, You have clicked a button containing the words "I agree" or some similar syntax. You should understand that this has the same legal effect as You placing Your physical signature on any other legal contract. If You have not yet done so, You must immediately click here to electronically sign this Agreement.

2. If You fail to sign this Agreement, You understand that You are an unauthorized user of the Site, despite any payments made or subscriptions sold to You. No act or omission by the Publisher should be interpreted as a waiver of the requirement that You assent to this User Agreement. If You fail to do so, You are still bound by the terms of this Agreement by virtue of Your viewing the Site or using any portion of the Site or Publisher's services. However, if You fail to electronically sign this Agreement, You stipulate to and agree to pay the Publisher $250 each time You access the Site as liquidated damages for unauthorized access and use, and You agree to pay all of our costs and expenses, including Attorney's fees and costs, incurred in collecting this unauthorized access fee from You.

You acknowledge that you are aware of the community standards in your community, and You will only access the content on the Site if you believe that the content on the Site does not offend the community standards prevalent in Your community.

F. You agree not to use or access the Site if doing so would violate the laws of Your state, province, or country.

G. Revisions to this User Agreement:

1. From time to time, We may revise this Agreement. We reserve the right to do so, and You agree that We have this unilateral right. You agree that all modifications or changes to this Agreement are in force and enforceable immediately upon posting. Any updated or edited version supersedes any prior versions immediately upon posting, and the prior version is of no continuing legal effect unless the revised version specifically refers to the prior version and keeps the prior version or portions thereof in effect.

2. We agree that if we change anything in this Agreement, we will change the "last modified date" at the top of this Agreement so that it is immediately obvious that we have updated the Agreement. You agree to periodically re-visit this web page, and to use the "refresh" button on Your browser when doing so. You agree to note the date of the last revision to this Agreement. If the "last modified" date remains unchanged from the last time You reviewed this Agreement, then You may presume that nothing in the Agreement has been changed since the last time You read it. If the "last modified" date has changed, then You can be certain that something in the Agreement has been changed, and that you need to re-review it in order to determine how Your rights and responsibilities may have been affected by the revisions.

3. Waiver - if You fail to periodically review this Agreement to determine if any of the terms have changed, You assume all responsibility for your failure to do so and You agree that such failure amounts to Your affirmative waiver of Your right to review the amended terms. We are not responsible for Your neglect of Your legal rights.

Messages from OC's will contain the uniform designation "OC" to notify the user that a message has been received from an Online Cupid. In the event the user responds to an OC message, either via email or Instant Message, the user may receive one or more additional personal or form responses from the OC. You understand, acknowledge, and agree that no physical meeting will ever take place between you and our OC's, and that the exchange of messages between you and an OC is for entertainment purposes, as well as to encourage further or broader participation in our site's services and/or to monitor user activities. Notwithstanding the above, the user is not guaranteed a response to any message sent to an OC (or another user).

We reserve the right to utilize OC's in connection with other features of our site, either now existing, or to be developed in the future (E.g.: Hotlists, Friend Invites, etc.). You understand, acknowledge, and agree that any involvement or communication with OC's shall be subject to the conditions, limitations, and acknowledgements contained in this Section and elsewhere in this Agreement.

Nothing contained in this Section shall create any right to, or expectation of, interaction between users and OC's. Any question regarding OC participation on our site should be directed to our Customer Service Department.

It is your responsibility to properly investigate the background, personality, criminal history, financial condition, or any other relevant factor affecting your potential compatibility with any other member or user, prior to communicating with, or meeting such person. Most importantly, USE COMMON SENSE! Do not provide any personal information to individuals who can misuse that information to your detriment.

2. The above list is intended to be illustrative only, and not exhaustive of the types or categories of claims released by you. This release is intended by the parties to be interpreted broadly in favor of the SITE, and thus any ambiguity shall be interpreted in a manner providing release of the broadest claims. This release is intended to be a full release of claims, and the parties acknowledge the legally binding nature of this provision, and the nature of the rights given up in connection therewith.

IX. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:

A. In no event shall Publisher (or its licensors, agents, suppliers, resellers, service providers, or any other subscribers or suppliers) be liable to You, or any other third party for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including without limitation, damages for loss of profits, loss of information, business interruption, revenue, or goodwill, which may arise from any person's use, misuse, or inability to use the Site or any of the materials contained therein, even if Publisher has been advised of the probability of such damages. This is for any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether such liability is asserted on the basis of contract, tort or otherwise, even if Publisher has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

B. In no event shall Publisher's maximum total aggregate liability hereunder for direct damages exceed the total fees actually paid by You for use of a Site or Site for a period of no more than one (1) month from the accrual of the applicable cause or causes of action.

Then, the affected user may submit a counter-notification to the Designated Agent containing a statement made under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed because of misidentification of the material.

This is the most severe case of FRAUD I have ever seen. these people need to be sued and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law. People are recruited as employee's for the purpose of baiting paying members...They never do hook-up. This would stop the flow of money. The website should be shut-down and all monies returned to the victims.

Amateur Match is...no ifs ands or buts, a 100% rip-off site. Don't even think about becoming a paid member. All the mail you get when you sign up as a free member is 100% phony. If you are stupid enough to become a paid member, you will not receive another piece of mail - unless it's phony, of course.

I agree totally with everyone here that's complaining. Once you have joined, you start getting these emails from girls who act like they want to get together but then then they ask you to go to another website and guess what ? It's another " PAY " website. I actually think it's the people running this website doing the emails and that they're really aren't any real so called girls that want to get together. I joined this website in hopes of meeting someone special and to go out with and maybe even find that special someone but that has yet to happen. I just get directed to another PAY WEBSITE that you have to join and I'm not doing that SCAM.

Amateur Match is nothing but junk. I signed up and I get notices from people 30 years younger and the names of the cities are spelled way off, the descriptions are not even close to the pic. Some look 18 to 20 and the profile says 50. The city names are so screwed up it is a total fake. I have received emails and when I reply nothing has ever happened no matter who or how many times I replied. Avoid this site like the plague.

I agree I too was duped but made sure to have them cancel the recurring billing so that I don't pay more for this [censor] in a few months! When you join its on an auto-renewel basis...and it was a pain in the [censor] to have them cancel it...you have to contact the website! WTF? On a reputable dating site...there are options to turn off auto renewal without having to write customer service and then wait on a response. The pictures of the so called photo galleries are not even good quality, the vast majority are either badly out of focus and you just see a lot of blurry pixels in most cases. When you join you are also supposed to get free access to another website which has 16 squares that I guess are supposed to have videos? At least that's how they seem to be set up...but when you click on the play button...nothing...what a joke. If you do get a reply from anyone on the site, most likely it will be a scam from someone wanting you to send them money or some web cam girl looking for customers. I am extremely dissapointed with this website, and will NEVER use an unknown dating website ever again! AFF or Match (and a few others) or whatever, there are only a few big ones that stay around and that's because all of these [censor] sites Amateurmatch! If you do decide to use an online dating site, stick with a big, established, reputable and proven website! Online dating is defenitely not the time to deal with a small [censor] hole in the wall company! AND I would have gotten better features, value and more for a lower price if I had chosen one of the more established and/or successful dating websites!

You can cancel all you want, but you won't get a refund unless you get your bank or CC company to refund the charge somehow. If you paid with a money order, you gave them a gift in that amount...bon voyage su dinero!

called the pay site server, and they cancelled both sites immediatly, then got 2 notices from them ameteur match and date match (they seemd to be linked, saying they will refund all monies paid, of course will have to check my credit card statements to check, but have saved all the e, mails, and they are legal tender for a court case.so think perhaps they are now running scared.

Very much a scam. Not one single e-mail has been answered by women that initially approached me. No one should agree to these terms because there is no benefit to the consumer. They put it in there contract that most of the women are online cupid's and are there to make things interesting. I do not consider lying interesting, I think is cruel and unfair.

Scam all the way. Women are online cupids that don't care about who they write to. They get paid to write members as if they were interested in them. Then they never reply back. It is a shameful practice that should be disclosed in big bold letters but instead is tucked away in the contract (terms of service) to be easily overlooked. It is too bad companies are not required to put the facts where they are easy to find. Like warning labels on cigarette's, they should be required to disclose this information where they advertise.

Amateur Match is a con. They offer free messages but don't deliver. They advertise girls in Egypt, most of whom are not Egyptian.Place names are spelt wrong. Real Egyptian girls complain about getting no messages. Click on send message and offers for Platinum Membership come up. They do not accept most foreign credit cards. For more info see my blog at frommythumb. blog.co.uk.
I will expose these scammers as much as I can. They should not be advertising in foreign countries.
