The
Five Factor Model aka Big Five normative test used by eHarmony and its
copycats, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model
to assess/measure personality of persons.
Now it is a HOAX, a FRAUD to use it (year 2018)
The same for eDarling and EliteSingles/SilverSingles sites!
eHarmony was copycatted in several countries like
the online dating sites EliteSingles in Canada, Australia, USA, UK, Chile, Mexico; eDarling in Spain, German, France, Russia;
also TeAmo in
Russia is another copycat of eHarmony;
esync (eSynchrony) in Singapore,
MiMediaManzana in Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Chile, etc.,
Marrily in India
and
LemonSwan in Germany and other countries.

Last
May 2016, I suggested USA FTC investigate several online dating sites
for misleading statements, false claims, overpromises.
Like Match, eHarmony, Zoosk, OkCupid, EliteSingles (Affinitas GmbH.) copycat of eHarmony, Tinder and others.

Online
Dating sites have very big databases, in the range of 20,000,000
(twenty million) profiles, so the Big Five model or the HEXACO model are
not enough for predictive purposes. That is why I suggest the 16PF5
test instead and another method to calculate similarity.
High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
Without
offering the NORMATIVE 16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16
personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to
innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.

ATLANTA — Seven Nigerians are facing charges after prosecutors say they targeted people on dating websites and swindled them out of more than USD 1.5 Million.
The U.S. attorney's office in Atlanta said in a news release Friday that the Nigerians created fake online dating profiles with photos of models or public figures. Prosecutors said they targeted people with financial assets, spending weeks or months courting them.

Terrifying Tinder scam catching out countless Australians
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2018/04/terrifying-tinder-scam-catching-out.html
Please
remember the case of Yuliana Avalos and Melissa Midwest former 2014
big lawsuit againts Match Group, third-party scammers in Africa or
wherever were creating fake profiles and catfishing with them.
IAC and Match Group were essentially aware of that situation and did nothing to stop it.
The USA Court ruled that IAC and Match Group were not responsible.
Attorney
Evan Spencer, said that despite the fact that anti-scammer technology
is available, Match Group failed to use such things as face-recognition software – which would have discovered that Yuliana Avalos's pictures
were being used hundreds of times.
Yuliana Avalos has argued in a
former 2014 big lawsuit against Match that photos of her were posted
without her permission on the site as part of a scam that drove a man to
commit suicide.
