I received a letter in the mail supposely from Match.com, stating that they were giving free one month subscriptions to people who had subscribed to Match.com between the period of June and September. They made it sound like it was the result of a lawsuit about their billing policy. Basically, they say that if you did not cancel more than 2 days in advance, you would be charged for the next month. So for those of you who tried cancelling during that 2 day period, you are receiving this offer.
To participate in this offer, they instruct you to send an email to [email protected] with "Free One-Month Subscriptioin Offer #XXX" in the subject line where XXX is a personalized offer number assigned to the person receiving the notice. Also included in this email should be your full name, your complete address, telephone number, your username (optional) and your personalized offer number.
I emailed my information on June 25. A few days later, I called Match.com's customer service to see if my account was activated. I was concerned about whether my credit card was charged. The rep assured me that my credit card was not charged. She also said that the notice I received was from a different division or group of Match.com and I had to wait until further instructions from that group.
The more and more I think about this, the more I think it is a some kind of scam. The letter looks somewhat like a genuine class-action suit letter but instead from a lawyer, it's from Match.com with a Long Island address. Match.com Offer P.O. Box 9000 #6441, Merrick, NY 11566-9000. Another strange thing is that there is no phone number on the notice.
