Mate1.com is a scam: they put charges on accounts without authorization. They are not a legitimate personals service since those who contact the persons paying for the service are "affiliates" of mate1. In other words after paying the website you are contacted not by a person really interested in communicating and meeting people but by paid personnel of mate1. Plattsburgh New York

The website www.mate1.com is a scam. They do not provide a genuine personals service. They will also charge your credit card without your authorization. Further, Chase Bank and other banks will honor the "documentation" which Mate1 provides, so beware. Once the site has your card number, you have no control other than to stop the card and/or change banks.

Chase Bank honored their debits months AFTER I had stopped a card. This is a problem with internet scams. They can become very prosperous and as they grow, create a larger and larger threat. Always use a free site for personals. It's no more effective to use a
paid for site.
