Since you normally post on design, I just want to say that the Jerusalem Post is hideous. I felt like I had been hit in the head when I went there. Someone needs to send them another letter letting them know it's okay not to put EVERYTHING IMAGINABLE on their main page.

There are quite a few shady individuals out there who create fake dating profile and dating ads so that they can drive signups to the site and get commission. There's a good post on this here: http://www.netmorality.com/editorials/fake-profiles-part-2-online-dating/ It's annoying as hell and I just wish there were better laws in place (or people to enforce existing laws) that could help prevent this B.S.

Although, not a problem I am likely to have unless the dating site wants to lose members. Scary stuff. Although, not a problem I am likely to have unless the dating site wants to lose members.

It seems that the people behind the Jewish dating sites jmatch, jlove, jdate have been creating a lot of fake profiles to bump up their sites. The original scam involved the sites searching social network sites for Jewish sounding names and pulling as much info and photos as possible. Other complainants have had as much luck as you did trying to remove the actual profile (although in most cases without the photos the profiles had no other connection to that person). Keep an eye on that profile and make sure your photos are not added back again. This has been an on going problem for a lot of people this year.
