Mate1.com totally sucks !

I'm pissed. Don't get me wrong -- I knew the site was suspicious and quite possibly just preying on my Single status. But like a lot of things on the internet, it's tempting not to at least try. Well, let me tell you, I'm sure glad I used a one-time e-mail address when registering !

It was pretty clear from the start. Each day one or two e-mails would come in from (or on behalf of) supposed women that seemed to arrive from totally random parts of the country. But the catch ? I hadn't said a single thing about myself. No profile. No picture. Nothing about myself, except for maybe the mandatory things Mate1.com collects . . . age, location, et cetera.

So, I knew something was up. I mean, there can't possibly be a couple of women each day dying to talk to some totally random and unknown guy. And because of that degree of skepticism, I just left the account alone, that is until one day . . .

After awhile, just thinking of the fact someone was wasting their time trying to scam me wasn't enough anymore. I decided to cancel the account . . .

Then, all of a sudden, a couple of weeks later an absolute TORRENT, and did I say T-O-R-R-E-N-T, of e-mail starts arriving. Well, here's the catch (as well as the guiding purpose behind this blog and website), I got you, Mate1.com ! You see, now that you either started spamming me yourself, don't care to protect people's e-mail address (or went the extra mile and just wimped out by selling my e-mail address to someone), I'm now going to track you.

Mate1.com, don't confuse this with animosity toward you or your site. That's not the point. The point is plain and simple -- I used a very unique e-mail address when I registered with your website, and it was used that one and only time. What am I doing now ? Quite simple, I'm just reporting how much SPAM is coming into that particular e-mail address and sharing that with the world so that others can make an informed decision on whether or not to sign-up with your website. How about that ?
