a model is suing Match dot com after she alleges bad
200 fake profiles were created using her image she is a Miami model by the name
yuliana abuelos there she is right there's a pretty girl
she is a pretty girl she's joining other unnamed people
in a 1.5 billion dollars a class action settlement lousy or
hurdle left hip is from her right shoulder
but I couldn't do that at any point in my life
ever like your body I will abide dog bob is the only person I know consort
turn like that Bob can get her head like
one-way Bob conformer right angle looks very impressive
you just noticed what no one else has noticed at all about that picture
as a right now her shoulder to hip ratio would
I at what turns me on about women is the shoulder to hip ratio
good notably so like that's why about the 1644 Group inc.'s
I so what's up with that it won't be so you know obviously she's a beautiful
woman she's alleging that match dot com doesn't have any type of software that
would detect fake profile
and she alleges I don't know how she knows this information
she could totally be making it up but she says that there are over 200
profiles using her image in a course they're fake profiles and she thinks
that this is problematic because
people can be using these for catfishing schemes now for those of you who don't
know what that is
usually it'll be a very very beautiful woman on the profile but in reality it
some
crazy dude in the background %uh utilizing the profile
are used to it using online communication to
scam someone out of some sum of money so she gave us was an example the guy by
the name Bob
I'll sur celui he was a 17-year-old who thought that he was talking to these
beautiful woman
she was asking for money and he borrowed money from family members and gather all
the money had the savings account
and sent it to her obviously he got scammed
and his house went into foreclosure he was broke as a result
and he committed suicide so she's saying that she doesn't want your image to be
used in the schemes and that match stop Comp should be doing as much as possible
to ensure that these profiles are being created and so she wants what like up
seventy five thousand dollars something at
1.5 billion but I should know I should note that it is the class action lawsuit
okay I
yep well that makes a difference obviously most those damages the
theoretically would be
punitive damages right against bike but you to get
if you button not if it's a class action suit on
so we're initially because they've been a previous sued
that do what alleging much in the same thing
that thou that that that match had no obligation whatsoever
a to monitor the stuff they have no obligation to like
if they set up the site and people if people wanna live out their photo
so be it that's not match his job to make sure that everybody in there
profile telling the truth I I tend to
side with natural that in well II
its I don't agree with that so that lawsuit are you referring to was
relatively recent it happen in 2011 and there were it was another class action
lawsuit filed by Mac users they claim that many of the profiles on there were
fake
and that match should have definitely gone out of its way to make sure
that those fake profiles were created now this lawsuit
took place in Dallas and the dow's district court found that match dot com
was not required to police these accounts right
but I disagree I think that their are
programs there is software out there that can be easily find
people who have fraudulent accounts okay is it does that ruin the Nuggets
everything about think about something like YouTube right you to have software
they can hatch
anyone who uploads anything that has copyrighted material
okay think about that but so sophisticated so
I don't find it hard to believe that there is software out there they can do
the same thing
I mean if you have to 100 profiles are using the exact same images
then something is wrong there and and and her lawyer says that these phony
accounts are easily preventable with the right software
I don't you know I don't know that you're probably right they're coming
back strong did you read their quote
the real scam here is this %uh meritless lawsuit which is filled with outlandish
conspiracy theories in clumsy fabrication zulu a factual or legal
basis
we're confident that our legal system is as adept as we are in detecting scammers
and will dismiss this case
in short order there did you know home
so I don't know it's interesting case I mean I if the software
me the software were easy to put in and didn't cost a true as a lotta money than
you would imagine that would do it i mean it
matches a vested interest in people believing that what they're seeing is
what they're getting he will go on to match to be scanned it if they go on and
feel like this game after game at risk and that script potentially
crippling to match I would imagine that the marketplace
would dictate that match would do everything they can to make things of
that
I absolutely agree with you especially considering that match
is one of the web-sites that charges its users a fee every month
there's so many I aP's right now that are free
so many web sites that are free for dating and if match
is gonna put itself in that category whether you expect people to pay for it
that they should offer a superior product
if there are all these fake profiles on there it's not a superior product so
I don't think that they're handling the situation appropriately but that's just
me
but 1.5 billion too much yeah we'll see what happens about losses
