AmateurMatch.com Shows Very Early Signs of Abusive Behavior

We haven't even published a week's worth of data yet, and AmateurMatch.com is nearly at the top of the list of abusive use of e-mail. True, we had a feeling this might happen from independent research on the internet, but we wanted to give them a fair chance.

To date -- and just within the first week -- we've received huge numbers of solicitations from Women seeking . . whatever. None of them are in the area, and this is in response to an utterly blank profile. Why anyone would take time out of their day to e-mail someone who didn't say a lick about themself is beyond me.

That, and the fact the website uses what they call Online Cupids, which are really nothing more than paid employees (or people they sucked into their questionable business) with nothing but the target of reeling you in and stringing you along. It's such a bad practice that they actually have to admit they do it, but that doesn't make it Ok in the least. If there's a really good service at its core, then people will use it. If not, then things like Online Cupids should be a clear indicator that it doesn't work to begin with.
