I also read where "True" was having some legal problems due to messaging clients as though they were potential matches when in reality, they were actually employed by the True staff. I'd say it's tough enough for legitimate subscribers to find ANYONE suitable for dating via any of these dating sites without having phony e-mails of interest being sent from the respective dating sites' staff. To actually go on a date thinking that it's a real client when it's actually an employee of the site is an extreme that is hard for me to imagine. At what point were they going to come clean about who they really were? After the guy wants to see this person on a regular basis? Talk about a mess. Worse than when "Miss Cleo" was sued. Geez...

Wow, kind of makes me wonder if I've ever gotten a fake email or "wink!" :)

I have heard before that some people suspected that this kind of thing was going on on online dating sites.

They are for-profit, money-making business ventures. As far as I know, online dating sites are completely unregulated, meaning there's no one stopping them from sending out fake emails, winks, or posting fake profiles. They use smarmy tactics to make money (supposedly!), and they finally got called on it.

I wonder what will happen in the case.

I've never had any problems with Match and Yahoo....everything always seemed legit to me, but TRUE is a Huge scam. I will only get about 1-2 winks for days and then be bombarded with winks within an hour time frame.....then nothing or 1 or 2 ever day or so. It is so pitifully obvious that they are scamming
