DALLAS, June 11 (UPI) -- There's no love lost between two Texas online dating Web sites caught up in a dispute over four employees who left one for the other.

Match.com, the Dallas giant of online dating, wants depositions from its four ex-employees who now work for a smaller rival, TrueBeginnings of Irving. A district court filing alleged the employees may have disclosed trade secrets or broken contracts, the Dallas Morning News said.

Herb Vest, chief executive and founder of TrueBeginnings, denied there was anything underhanded going on and accused Barry Diller, the business titan whose InterActiveCorp owns Match, of trying to intimidate his crew.
