Mate1 Enterprises e-mails after service cancellation

On 11/20/09 I accepted a 3 day trial offer for the Mate1.com dating service. On 11/21/09 (10:56 PM) via E-mail I cancelled this offer. It is Thursday (11/26/09) and I'm still receiving E-mail from this company attempting to lure me into viewing replies knowing if I do this than thay may be able to charge me $49.95 per month for any reply. I no longer want E-mails or any other particpation in this service knowing it is probably going to rip-off myself or any other participant whom chooses to use it. Your assistance and comfirmation to resolve this issue will be deeply appreciated. Sincerely, Bill Kelly.

Cannot get messages sent to me because of supposed tech. difficulties. Going on for 2 days now. Online ambassadors seem to be playing games, for what I do not know. I will be cancelling my service shortly and better not have problems with that as others are having. Seems to be nothing but a scam to get your credit card # and do monthly billing for bull service. Will be talking to legal council if this grap continues

Huh I can check my messages just fine so I know its not the site itself. What are you using? I know mobile devices don't work all that well cause its not a site made for mobiles. Maybe try it on a different browser? IE9 the newest one has problems with some sites. Never had any problems with my billing there either. Good luck - their CS staff has always helped me with just a quick call or chat.

Mate1 Enterprises customer service

Dear mate1.com

I hope someone from your company actually gets forwarded this!

I am writing to complain about your customer service and I assume that the same incompetent people who answer the phones also respond to my emails so this may just get deleted.

Here is my issue.
First of all, getting on your site ages ago was clearly stupid. Had I not filled out some basic info including my email perhaps all of this annoyance could have been avoided. However, I did. As a result, your company has been luring me in with offers of beautiful girls and emails waiting to be read and trial offers.
After enough emails I got curious enough to go look at what you offer (so your harrassment DID work up to this point). I couldn't figure out what the site offered or how the billing worked, all I could see was a trial for $2.
So, I searched the site for a phone number - and nothing. So I did some google searching (the same method used to find this address) and finally found the 1-888 number.
I assumed that calling about how to pay a company is what they want you to do and the REASON they have a customer service line in the first place... perhaps this was another of my mistakes.
The girl who answered "Sabrina" seemed annoyed by my even calling her. I asked about prices and if I could pay in a method other than credit card (bank draft, pay pal). She told me that EVERYONE uses a credit card on the site and that if I wanted to
pay using a different method I would have to "email a special request to the billing office". This is bizarre to me! If I WANT to GIVE YOU MONEY you can't give me payment methods by phone? You make me jump through hoops?
I asked this "Sabrina" if she could just tell me prices and methods by phone and she seemed to snap. Her voice raised and she told me that she didn't want to repeat herself and that information is only available by email. When I tried to find out why she couldn't just email it to me then, she yelled at me to STOP INTERRUPTING HER BECAUSE SHE IS GOING TO FINISH HER SENTENCES!
I was then told that she had to take other calls from PAYING members! How ironic is that? The phone line is for paying members but someone wanting to join is ### outta luck?

... I hung up.

I am not writing this to get something for free from your site (after this experience I want NOTHING to do with you!).
I am also not trying to get anyone fired. However, I am a business man myself and the experience I had with your customer service has left me so upset I feel MORALLY obligated to let you know.
Do you farm out your customer service calls to children in other countries and angry housewives? How on earth do you even have a functioning business with income when your staff treats your customers like dirt?
I secretly hope that maybe this was this employees last call before quitting or a once in a lifetime fluke of a rude call.

In conclusion, don't reply to me. I have enough mate1 emails to print out and wallpaper my house with!
And don't fire anyone on my account. Perhaps though, DO train your staff? SCREEN your staff? These people may be contract minimum wage workers but they represent your company!

Sincerely,

Man with Money that could have been yours.

anytime you email or try to chat the responses are generic and the spelling is wrong. Everytime I chatted The person was from Ghanna and they were there helping a sick relative. I would ask questions about them on their profile and they would answer wrong. the person AlWAYS wanted my Phone number Email wanted to skype and wanted money from me even. I reported this many times and Mate never took any action to correct this? I am being charged over 119.00 for basically nothing but a scam and fake profiles! The BBB need to know about them. Jerry

Mate1 Enterprises being billed from this company for no reason.

I signed up a few days ago for the $1.95 trial membership. I decided against the full service and I thought my membership would just expire. Instead they upgraded my membership without my authorization and I just found a $49.95 charge on my bank account. I don't want this service and I want my money back. If I missed something on the fine print that is fine, but I signed up for this just a few days ago and they upgraded my membership today it looks like. I just want my money back and to have nothing to do with the service. I haven't even logged in since the first day I tried it. I did find this on the Q & A part of the site that you don't have to log in for:

"◦How do I become a full member?
Any time you try to access a feature that is only accessible to full members, you will be provided an appropriate link to upgrade your membership. You can also click here to become a full member."

In other words it appears they upgraded my account without my authorization instead of letting it expire. I am calling them in the morning and I expect a $49.95 refund.

Yes, this site, Mate1 is a cheating site. They charged you more money such as USD 49 without any authorizations after the trial membership. Which the trial only cost USD 1.95 and they had already planed to rip off people for the second charge- USD 49 which is obviously fraud. People should reveal them and join together and file a lawsuit to this company and/or its relative websites.

Mate1 Enterprises mate1.com online dating fraud

Mate1.com is the worst kind of fraud. I am a single guy, I own two international businesses and I am a savvy web professionals. I have tried several online dating services and Mate1.com is the most blatant dating fraud I've come across. The MINUTE I registered, I received emails from two attractive young women, stating: "I would like to correspond with you. Please check out my profile and let me know if you are interested." The interesting thing is I hadn't even filled out my profile or added a photo at that time, so they could hardly have been able to say they liked it.

I found this suspicious and did some research online. I discovered scores of detailed complaints and scam alerts. Mate1 apparently hires "online ambassadors" to write to new members, pretending they want to correspond. They entice you to join up and then -- of course -- you never hear from them again. Luckily, I only did the thee-day trial for $1.95 and then canceled after reading so many complaints online. Of course, right after I canceled my membership, I received another email from an attractive woman in Thailand with EXACTLY the same message: "I would like to correspond with you. Please check out my profile and let me know if you are interested."

Do NOT join this service. It is a rip off and a major scam. I hope Mate1 gets investigated by the authorities for fraud. And Fling.com is almost as bad. Many of the profiles on that site are fake.

If you want to try a good online dating service, use Match.com or OkCupid.com. Match is a pay service featuring real profiles; Cupid is free and great fun.

Site appears to be a 100% SCAM, run by garden-variety spammers/online criminals. In addition to all of the details mentioned above about fraudulent means used to attract customers (fake profiles/obviously fake messages, etc), they are also shameless/blatant spammers: within a day of registering a new domain name, they registered an account with the EMail address of the domain's admin contact & started spamming it - falsely claiming that I had signed up for it. So at BEST, they're buying lists of EMail addresses intended for spamming - or at worst, they're harvesting the addresses themselves. Even in the best-case, they're clearly making no attempt whatsoever to validate to validate signup requests/EMail addresses, which was totally inexcusable in 2008 - let alone in 2018.

Oh, and calling them "criminals" is not hypberbole: by failed to obtain explicit consent from an address owner before sending them commercial advertisements to that address, they are violating this country's federal anti-spam laws. In other words: they are committing a crime, which makes them criminals.

Yes @Frank, I completely agree with you. No dating site is genuine. I saw many dating websites and mate1.com is one of them. A lots of new dating sites created by people on daily basis. Day before yesterday I came across new website i.e https://sugar.date/ but it doesn't mean that one can start complaining about sites when they are not ready for online dating or surprises.

I don't know how on earth they got my credit card number, but they've been repeatedly billing me on a monthly basis for about $50 each time. I never signed up for any 'service' of theirs and have no idea who these people are. I ended up having to cancel my credit card account and I will be contesting the charges with the credit card company. Unbelievably, this is the second time this sort of thing has happened to me, but with a totally different card/credit card company. I'm not irresponsible with my cards and they've never been physically out of my hands. What the hell?

Gentlemen. The secret is to Get a prepaid credit card at the grocer for 25 dollars or whatever. Then fill up the gas tank with 20 bucks, and then with you 5 remaning dollars sign up for the 1.99 for a few days. If they try charge you for additional billing to bad for them. I think there are real profiles on that site but you have to search for them, 99% of the all the chat requests are prob call center workers lol i dunno.

this website is a joke the biggest scam that I've ever came across in my life all of these gorgeous womens photos that they are sending to you are not even the people that you are texting the reason they don't want to talk to you on the phone is because that is not them in the photo they're probably just some obese ugly big fat that are just trying to drain your account every one of them that I spoke with either lives or claims they live in Nigeria or some other foreign country and they want you to send the money to help them get back to the United States what a lie don't fall for it and I hope you're not stupid enough to give them your account number... I had this one girl telling me when I asked her why can't I talk to you if she said Oh I can only text you ... then she wanted me to send her a new phone and pay for her monthly bill I was laughing my ### off and finally blocked her... and last but not least the funniest part is when they all say oh baby i love you I miss you how funny is that you haven't even met this person in there saying baby i love you I miss you it's just hilarious...

Is signed up for the free trial after they bombarded my inbox with emails telling me that I had mesaages from people till I saw one that said your messages are about to be deleted. So I looked and it said you can have a free trial for three days. So I subscribed for three days And all the messages were from them telling me that they had sent me matches and proper unflattering ones as well like one person had and don't get me wrong but he was massively obese with his eyes closed and the cameracamera pointing up at his face. Catch my drift. Point is read the small print it is not a free trial they don't want you to read the small print cos it means their company is gonna get your details and charge you if you don't understand it properly I lilie most people have to do a whole days graft for £40. They are thieves that will not refund you your money and in fact if you do want a refund you have to make sure it is postmarked no more than three days after they have stole your money and that you haven't used the service at all.

Mate1 Enterprises scam

I have join on february 3 2009 in mate1.com for supposebly 1.97 for 3 days and joined for 49 dollars after online ambassaors took me for a ride making me believe that I was an interesting man so to make me join the (party )
I have been on mate1.com to date and or to meet but its always seems that the ladys are available they are either in another country examples on their profile they live either in us but athey admit that they are in another country
but when they get back to you they say they are either stuck in Egypt or Ghana or Australia, they are trying to make me believe that they are interested in me and their photos are too professionally models or some nude shots from up their waist suggesting alot of wanting you for sexual activities or they are open for a lot love wanting you to believe that they want you for husband or espouse .Some of these woman take 2 advertisement with the same pictures other names and want me to go to my email and get to see their part of their body for a fee through credit card
I will let them know that I want to stop and cancel my admission for the next month by sending them a letter orand email if they do answer my call or letter I will let visa know my actual position and for stopping the next payment

We certainly understand your concern about certain Mate1 profiles.

If another member on the site is trying to obtain your email address, promote another business on our site, solicit you or ask you for money, that member needs to be reported immediately so that we may remove them off the site for violating our Terms & Conditions.

We do our very best to prevent people from misrepresenting themselves in their descriptions as well. However, because we have millions of profiles on our site, with thousands more being created on a daily basis, from time to time you will encounter a profile which is not honestly representing that member's true status, age, location, etc. For that and other reasons, we have provided a "Report a Problem" link at the bottom of a member's profile. If you suspect someone of being flagrantly dishonest about something important in their profile/photos/description, or of otherwise violating our Terms of Service, please report that to us so we can investigate further as needed.

Please get in touch with our Mate1 Customer Support team regarding any issues you are experiencing, or any technical difficulties you have encountered and we'll be happy to try and resolve them with you. That's what we're here for!

For your convenience, refer to our site’s Help/Contact Us page, which contains most of our contact options, as well as easy answers to your questions.

Cancellation can be done online quickly when you are in the "My Settings" portion of your profile - simply click on "My Profile", then click Subscription Status (you will be prompted to verify your password for security reasons) and then follow the prompted steps to cancel. Alternatively you can always call our 7-day-a-week toll-free phone support([protected], or [protected] if you are outside North America), or use our round-the-clock email support – support@mate1.com, as well as a live chat support feature available during normal business hours to cancel your subscription. After doing so your membership will be terminated at the end of the current billing cycle and you will not be re-billed again. You may re-activate your membership at any time.

Please get in touch with our Customer Support team regarding any issues you are experiencing, or any technical difficulties you have encountered and we'll be happy to try and resolve them with you. That's what we're here for!

Hi All!

I agree except it is happening to women too! I had recently sign up with Mate 1. Before long (less than 24 hrs) there were overwhelming amts of messages! I thought I'd met a wonderful man from the US, with an accent not US...Within 7 days, He says he is 'going to spend the rest of our lives together, he's in love etc. An 'instant tell her' love affair...kind...lol ! It is so easy to get 'sucked' up by these parasites looking for everything from cell phones, cash etc. I have reported it several times, he still is on line at this site ladies...such a 'sweetman two, two two! They have done absolutely nothing to help all the victims and potential victims of these tragedies!

Regards,
Not that Stund!

Deactivating new mail notifications doesn't. Canceling all email subscriptions doesn't. Change email address to bogus address doesn't work either. They keep sending reactivation messages after you've cancelled and after you have deleted your profile. Complaints to technical support and other mate1.com contacts have been fruitless. Don't believe all the anonymous posts. mate1.com is crap and a never-ending nightmare.

Went to cancel the 3 day trial on the 2nd day only to find out there is no option link to do this on there site and I would have to send them a letter signed and user name on it and they would have to receive this letter with in 72 hours from starting the trial...

Mate1 Enterprises fraudulent and unethical business practices

I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING MATE1.COM AT ALL

THEY SCAM YOU TO JOIN AND PAY AND TO KEEP YOU PAYING EACH MONTH WITH FRAUDULENT MESSAGES FROM ONLINE AMBASSADORS

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF AMBASSADOR? 'an ambassador of good will'

What is MATE1.COM 's defitionition of their Online Ambassador? To hire women all accross the United States or World and provide them an exciting 'work at home' career opportunity where they will spend a few hours a week to lie, cheat, steal, scam, mislead, and fraudulently send messages to members of the Mate1 site who join during the 3 day trial, and make them think they are getting dozens of messages from other girls who are interested in them, but these trial members cannot communicate and respond to these messages unless they pay the $49.95 membership fee. And when you do reply to all these online ambassadors messages, you never hear back from them. They just all send you messages to profit, and get you to pay.

Also, if you are an existing customer and member of MATE1.COM, and your membership expires, you will notice that you will start getting dozens of emails from girls who like you and want to communicate with you, and when you pay, you again never hear from them again. These are the Online Ambassadors that are paid employees of Mate1.com to email you and get you to pay again making you think girls are interested in you.

MATE1.COM IS A COMPLETE FRAUD AND SCAM

I have been a member (paying member) for 8 months now, paying 49.95 x 8 months and so far I have lost a total of $400.

But I cannot even count how many hours I spent on Mate1 the last 8 months, probably some 100 hours total.

Recently, I decided to not use MATE1.COM for a month after my membership expired, but when i went back to the site just 5 days ago, I noticed I had 23 new messages. So stupid me I pull out my credit card and pay the 49.95 fee so i can see my messages and reply to them.

When I look at most of the messages, I see very beautiful women, and I can tell they are all fake, because why would a beautiful woman be on a dating website like Mate1? IT NEVER HAPPENS! They would never need or think of using a dating website, because they would not have a problem finding a date where they live. So i know most of the girls are fake.

Another problem, alot of girls that do want to chat online using MATE1.COM, about 95% of them want you to join their WEBCAM site and enter your credit card info. And they send you a link to a website that is NOT secure, and when I research the website they take you to, it is a website that is registered and owned by a company and hosted by a company in Malaysia or another foreign company, so the only purpose of the site is to steal your credit card info.

Does Mate1 do anything about it? No! They will not easily delete users because they need the membership fees to make a huge profit.

I looked at Mate1 on Google, and they have alot of negative complaints about them.

I researched MATE1.COM on the Better Business Bureau website, and they have a rating of F as well as having some 23 complaints on them at /link removed/ site

Mate1 Enterprises Hacker impersonation

I have nothing to report against this site. My computer is compromised. It is either technical difficulties or it is because the person that has hacked my system is so obsessive and controlling, she is controlling everything I do. I could not get a hold of their service because what was happening, and what was not happening. My profile is gone, she knows everything..., my email address, she can see everything and everywhere I go. So could you please get a hold of them for me regarding this aggravation & source of frustration & irritation? I'm at my wit's end. Please tell them, that I DON'T WANT THEM TO MAIL ME MY PASSWORD? I CAN GIVE THAT TO MY ALTERNATE EMAIL ADDRESS, WHICH IS A FRIEND, OR i WILL JUST WRITE IT DOWN UNTIL I KNOW IT BY HEART! Thank you regarding this issue. Remember, I cannot get a hold of them. I had many friends on that site, and I have nothing bad to say about it.

Thank you very much & Best Regards.

Mate1 Enterprises my inbox of emails got sent out over the web

I was attaching my picture to one of my emails. and I pressed the attach button and then my picture. It was supposed to go to the email I was writing but instead every email I have ever received went out over the internet. And I cannot reach them or find them to stop this problem. I had never been in one of those rooms before and only fell into that one by mistake, I did not realize it was one of those kind of rooms. I thought it was just another chat room. Yes I felt stupid, but it was too late. Now all my emails are out there and I don't know how to get them back? Or to stop them?

You've made an error of judgement, just front it out and tell everyone you've been hit by a bug that is computerised and alters what you said .

Tell them you've heard they do this to try and intimidate you for a future blackmail ... but don't loose site of the fact that the web and the governments allow this to go on, where are the fraud squad

What you're describe seems highly unlikely. The mechanisms for sending a message on Mate1, the one you would have been using to attach a photo, have no way to send email over the Internet. Sending a message on Mate1 can trigger a notification to be sent out over the Internet, but the server that sends the notifications doesn't know the contents of the messages its sending notifications about.

Its also very easy to contact us. We have a "help/contact us" link on the bottom every page of the website. I don't see how anyone could miss it.

In short there's no way this happened.

Mate1.com placed a $49.95 unauthorized charge on my credit card after I canceled the $1.95 three (3) day "trial" membership. Called to remove the charge. Some "MIKE" at Mate1.com said I was minutes late canceling the trial period (which I was not as I canceled the second day). Refused to get supervisor (probably no supervisors there). Rouge company that will rip you off!
