This is spam that will attempt to hijack your account and get to your credit card and other personal information from your member account:

~~~end spam message~~~

I have received several of these emails in several email accounts (none having any relationship to an account at Match.com) and have determined that they are spoofing emails trying to hijack your Match Personals account and possibly access your credit card information and other personal information.
I have emailed Match.com and am waiting to hear from Match.com about this.
