Match.com

We strive to present only profiles of real people who are on Match.com for the right reasons. All profiles submitted to Match.com go through an approval process, but we rely on users like you to improve the overall Match.com experience for everyone. Thank you.

If you receive an inappropriate email or see a profile that seems suspicious in any way, please notify us. You can do this from any profile page or from any email received. This information goes directly to and is reviewed by our Member Integrity Team.

Some situations require more information than others. If a profile just appears "fake" to you, no additional information may be necessary and you can simply Report a Concern. In these cases, if someone receives enough complaints and/or is found, after careful review, to have posted a fraudulent profile, they will be blocked from the site. More serious issues require detailed information so that we may determine if they require a more thorough investigation. If you feel this issue is very serious, we request you give us a Detailed Report, or Contact Us.

Unsure which report to submit? To help clarify, see the examples provided below.

• If anyone requests money
• If anyone tries to sell you merchandise or services*
• If someone tries to offer you a job or another “unique opportunity,” especially in another country
• If someone's profile text or emails claim they are not actually in the location their profiles states (e.g. they are really in Russia or Nigeria)
• If someone's profile just does not add up (e.g. the picture doesn't match the information)

When to submit a Detailed Report

• If a member sends you harassing or offensive emails
• If you know married people or minors who are using the service
• If you see inappropriate profiles or photos on the site, or if you receive inappropriate photos via email
• If a member behaves inappropriately after meeting in person
• If a member violates any other Match.com policy
