Bandit sign poster from really far away:

On Saturday I found a whole bunch of staked signs which read:
"www.mountainviewsingles.org"

I picked them up and tossed them.
I have seen similar signs in other areas and have read that they come from "match.com".

Guess where the sign placer is located:

They are a problem here in Georgia too.

From the research I've done, I believe that this company (IMAT)
simply sells the leads that come through its websites to local
matchmaking companies.

I can't believe I overlooked the local companies! I was looking at this as a national problem because so many towns/cities/neighborhoods are experiencing this. But selling leads to local companies does make sense!

I removed a bunch of similar signs here in Charlotte NC about 2 months ago. I think I cleared almost 100 signs the first weekend, then they returned and put out fewer signs, maybe 25. After those signs disapeared, they seemed to have given up, and never returned.
