Criminal History and Marital Status Misrepresentation
A person who misrepresents his or her criminal history or marital status to TRUE for the purpose of gaining access to communications and membership privileges could be subject to civil and criminal penalties under United States federal and state law. In addition, fraud through misrepresentation may be a violation of terms of parole. TRUE pursues multiple remedies under law against criminals and married individuals who seek to prey upon our subscribers. (Translation: We take criminal and married predation personally. Those who misrepresent their criminal history or marital status to gain access to our subscribers will face all that we can legally do to protect our subscribers— even if it means making violators' lives miserable. Criminals and married people should go elsewhere — NOW.)
At TRUE, we take our members’ safety seriously. We don’t want felons or marrieds on our website, period. If you are a criminal or married, DO NOT use our website. Consider this to be fair warning: Our Member Safety team vigorously pursues individuals who misrepresent themselves on our website. We report violators to appropriate federal, state and local authorities, including parole boards. We also actively pursue prosecution of these offenders in other ways. For example, we recently filed a civil lawsuit against a convicted felon and Florida registered sex offender for misrepresenting his felony status when attempting to access TRUE’s members. This felon was prevented from communicating with TRUE’s members due to TRUE’s proactive policy that requires criminal background screenings on its communicating members in the U. S. – the only one of its kind among major online dating sites. TRUE is the only online dating company that has pursued civil prosecution of an individual for misrepresenting himself online. TRUE’s first lawsuit was filed in November 2005 and was resolved by agreement, the terms of which required the sex offender to: (1) cancel his existing memberships and refrain from using TRUE.com and other companies in the online dating and relationship industry; (2) complete a community service obligation; and (3) pay damages to TRUE.
We can't guarantee that criminals can't get on our site, but we can guarantee that they'll be sorry they did. DISREGARD THIS WARNING AT YOUR PERIL.
