"If you have registered on Baihe, there is a contract between the company and the registered members," he said.
"The truth is that only his gender is correct. Even his age is wrong. Baihe totally failed in its duty to verify a member's information," said Lan.
Chaoyang district court has accepted the case, said court media officer Liu Qizhi.
Li Li, media officer from Baihe, told the Global Times Monday it always tries to guarantee the authenticity of members' information.
"But our capability to examine a user's identity is limited due to the restriction of the Internet technology as well as the government's level of openness of online information," said Li.
"For instance, we can't check marital status, because the Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau doesn't have the information uploaded online," Li said.
Xiang Jun, a marketing officer for zhenai.com, an online website providing dating services, confirmed that it is hard for Internet companies to verify customers' information.
"It's easy to fake documents, and we lack effective ways to authenticate these documents," said Xiang.
Jiang was sentenced to four and a half years in jail for fraud in August 2012, after criminal charges were filed against him, said Xiao.
