In January 2024, a review of MySpecialMatch.com concluded that the website was a scam, and users were receiving fake checks.

Since it was launched in 2013, MySpecialMatch.com has built a solid reputation in the disabled community. It serves people with special needs, who seek others with similar disabilities and developmental issues, for friendship or romance. Studies have shown that online dating platforms can be especially relevant to disabled people, who commonly experience loneliness, social isolation, and accessibility barriers. MySpecialMatch.com provides a safe environment for this group and shows a keen commitment to ensuring the most vulnerable are not put at risk.

Safety first

It is not possible to register on MySpecialMatch.com without subscribing to a paid membership. To use all the site’s services fully, MySpecialMatch.com members are required to purchase a monthly or annual subscription, at reasonable rates. They range from $4.99 per month, to $50.00 per year. This is a simple and efficient way to avoid fake profiles, and all sorts of scams, which might seek to take advantage of the most vulnerable.

According to reviews and articles online, MySpecialMatch.com has a zero-tolerance policy towards online harassment, scams, bullying, body-shaming and other harmful behaviours. The site recognizes its responsibility to keep the most vulnerable singles safe and promises to promote 100% real profiles.

Is MySpecialMatch.com still running?

MyCrew LLC, the company that operates MySpecialMatch.com from Tempe, in the USA, has received good reviews online. Also, it does not appear to host any kind of scam or rip-off. However, we were unable to assess how much alive the platform is today. Its Facebook page has been discontinued since 2015 and the last blog post, dates back to 2017. However, the landing page mentions members’ recent activity on the platform.

However, since the platform does not allow free access, there is no way of knowing whether it is very popular or not, without paying a subscription fee. Although the costs of using the site are reasonable, it is somewhat difficult to strongly recommend it.
