FTC SUES MATCH GROUP FOR FAKE LOVE INTEREST ADS《科技生活資訊》雜誌：聯邦貿易委員會起訴MATCH集團的虛假戀愛廣告The Federal Trade Commission is suing Match Group for allegedly using fake love interest ads to trick consumers into paying for a subscription to dating site Match.com.
美國聯邦貿易委員會(Federal Trade Commission)正在起訴Match集團，指控使用虛假的戀愛廣告，誘使消費者付費訂閱約會網站Match.com。The site lets people create profiles for free but you need to pay for a subscription to respond to messages. Match sent emails to non-subscribers telling them they had received a response on the site. But the FTC said Wednesday Match sent millions of emails about notices that came from accounts already flagged as likely fake. Match did prevent subscribers from getting email from suspected fake accounts, the FTC says.該網站允許人們免費創建個人資料，但你需要付費訂閱才能給喜歡你的人回覆信息。Match網站向非訂閱用戶發送電子郵件，告訴他們網站上有回覆。但聯邦貿易委員會周三表示， Match發送了數百萬封這樣的電子郵件，回復的內容都是來自那些已經被標記為可能是虛假的帳戶。聯邦貿易委員會表示，Match在阻止用戶從可疑的虛假帳戶收到電子郵件上，的確做了一些努力。
Prices for subscriptions vary depending on length, from $20-plus to $30-plus a month depending on the length of time you subscribe for. There are also a variety of add-ons you can buy, too.該網站訂閱的價格根據時間長短而有所不同，從每月20多美元到30多美元不等，取決於你訂閱的時間長短。你也可以買到各種各樣的附加功能。The FTC said hundreds of thousands of people subscribed to Match.com after receiving communications from fake profiles.聯邦貿易委員會表示，成千上萬的人在收到虛假信息後，訂閱了Match.com。
The FTC is also alleging that Match didn’t adequately disclose the requirements that consumers needed to get Match’s offer of free six-month subscription if they did not 「meet someone special.」 And that it didn’t provide simple enough subscription cancellation practices.聯邦貿易委員會還指控說，Match沒有充分告知消費者獲得Match六個月免費訂閱服務的要求，前提是他們沒有「遇到特別的人」。而且它沒有提供足夠簡單的取消訂閱的方式。Match Group said it blocks 96% of bots and fake accounts within a day and that fraud isn’t good for business. It said in a statement that the FTC’s claims are 「outrageous,」 and it plans to 「vigorously」 defend itself in court.Match集團說，該公司在一天之內屏蔽了96%的機器人和虛假帳戶，這種欺詐其實對企業來說也不利。該公司在一份聲明中表示，聯邦貿易委員會的指控「令人無法容忍」，並計劃在法庭上「積極」為自己辯護。
