According to this article on BrandWeek True.com has caught over 25,000 sex offenders and felons who have tried to registered. I've always wondered how many people their system has caught. I was never able to find a number about this on True's web site. I've always liked this feature of True and it is a first good step in having a safer online dating environment. I am surprised that the other major dating services have never offered something similar.

As discussed in our forum topic here, True.com has for a while now, been auto generating winks for their members. When signing up for True you can disable this feature but it is enabled by default. The selection box is located near the Terms of Service check box on True's sign up page.

Is this a good idea? Does it help get people interacting on the site or is it a ploy to just get non-paying members to sign up? I personally don't like it, and it definitely should not be enabled by default. This "feature" probably costs True more in bad press than it provides with new paying members.

What is Fraudnet Technology you ask, it is a patent-pending solution to provide a safer online dating environment for Perfectmatch.com members. It has several goals, from increase detection of fraudulent credit cards to identify suspicious online behavior. These behaviors include such dating scams as people pretending to foster a relationship to lure singles into sending them money, providing credit card information and/or other personal data. Perfectmatch.com is always looking to protect it's members from dating online scams that have run rampent on other dating services.

This is definitely a step in the right direction for dating sites in general. While I haven't heard of any complaints against Perfectmatch.com regarding scam artists you can never be too careful online. Fraudnet and Perfectmatch.com have just inked this deal so it's not in use yet but we expect it to go live within 6 months.

A few days late but some of you may have noticed that PerfectMatch.com has started advertising in the land of television. They now join the ranks of eHarmony and Match.com with national TV commercials and is now directly competing with them. The first commercial for 2007 is a narrative explaining how PerfectMatch matching system works. It actually is very informative and I am sure will help boost PerfectMatch's already surging member numbers.
