Ah Match... I used to support their backend long long ago. It is likely someone running a script to set up fake accounts using email addresses they acquired. That script probably has an error and re-used an email address. I would just block emails from their domain if you have the option I don't use gmail.
You may with to edit your comment to remove the headers all together as they are legit headers from Match.

- LinuxBender 2y agoDoes the process not verify email address ownership? It did not used to for the initial account creation and that is likely all they need. They create a fake profile and put links to some malicious site or other shenanigans that affect Match users. The scam does not actually involve you at all. They will not be able to have a paid account unless something changed but they likely do not need it. There are other things that could be going on but then I would be at risk of defaming people running the site and that's a much longer story. All I can legally say is that you should just block anything coming from them unless you plan on being one of their members. Now if on the other hand you see something from their company on your credit card statement, get your bank and the Federal government involved and not the state of Texas but I do not expect that to happen. Let the feds engage the state. I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. There is nothing more I can add to this.
