Match allegedly sent scammers to non-paying users to sell memberships

Bradford describes the lawsuit-stage allegation that Match sent romance-scammer profiles to users who hadn't paid, dangling a message from a good-looking 'profile' to push subscriptions, while shielding paying members. She calls it 'genius in its evilness.'

“let me send the scammers to the people who have not yet converted to membership and tell them they have a message waiting from a very good-looking profile because they're a scammer. Right. And then so you get hundreds of thousands of subscriptions sold through basically a sales force full of scammers, right, that you're using to— I mean, it's almost like genius in its evilness.”
