This site that patterns itself after other social networking platforms contains several scam elements:

1. Profile Copying: Several profiles have been found on other sites like the impious anastasiadate. There is therefore that potential for profiles to either be bought, borrowed or even stolen from other sites. Therefore the site may not have "original" content!

2. Poor Scammer Filtration: Just because the site validates the user does not mean that the user is 100% genuine and it can mean that there still can be scammers on the site.

3. Poor Ethnic Diversity: This site is poor and pathetic when it comes to highlighting other ethnic groups in its advertising in a major way. It is indirectly saying that ethnic equality is lacking with "us" which it is. Now the site may choose to use the overused excuse that major users of the site belong to one ethnic group on the site and thus are the reasons for its off balanced one-ethnic advertisement highlightings but minor groups are just as important too as well and any site that lacks in its multiethnic tone in its advertising attempts we can therefore label it as being ethnically challenged and handicapped and ethnically scamming other groups!

This site has scam elements within it and written all over it. It is well worth watching and carefully observing and if scam elements are found to be comprehensively avoided and opposed!

I am a representative from Planet Love Match and hope to clear up some of the items to raise in your complaint. Planet Love Match aims to be a social dating site where our immersive communication tools help connections happen more naturally and organically.
Re: Profile Copying – It is true that we have a sister company that runs a Russian-focused dating site (which is still in business and not shut down). In an effort to test one of the 2, 500 niche options we planned on offering on Planet Love Match, we reached out them to let us test market this vertical. We didn’t buy or steal these. We just made it easy for any of the women on those other dating sites to be able to participate in Planet Love Match if they wanted to. Many users of Russian dating sites complain about inequality on those sites, so we wanted to try and ally some of their concerns on a truly equal site where they have options. Since then (this complaint was written at the height of this test), we have removed many of the profiles that weren’t used and continue to do so. Our focus isn’t in the Russian dating niche, but domestic (US) dating. We just haven’t rolled out our aggressive Marketing campaign yet.
Re: Scammer Filtration – If a member reports a possible scammer to us, we will investigate and remove them from our site.
Re: Ethnic Diversity – As I mentioned above, we test-marketed to the Russian dating niche, which is one of 2, 500 niche options we will be targeting. When this complaint was written, yes, the majority of active profiles were not very diverse. Since then, we have expanded that base and will continue to do so as we grow.
I would like to note that we have made email and chat free on Planet Love Match to get members more involved and make connections happen faster. We are committed to providing the best online dating experience possible in the safest environment. We appreciate any constructive feedback and will do our best to keep enhancing your experience.
