Disclaimer

Last updated October 16, 2026.

No professional advice

Nothing on this site is legal, medical, financial or therapeutic advice. The pages about fraud explain how a pattern works and who to contact, and they are written to help a reader recognize something, not to advise them on a specific situation. A large financial loss and the end of a relationship that felt real are two losses that arrive together, and both are better discussed with a professional than with a website. A doctor, a counselor or a solicitor is the right place for that conversation.

No test results, and why

There is no test result on this site, no score, no match count and no reply rate, because no controlled test has been run. Describing one that had not been run would be a lie about method. What the pages here describe is the app as a new user meets it, what the app’s own published documentation says, and what the people using it report publicly. The method page sets out exactly what that means.

No prices and no member numbers

This site publishes no prices and no member counts for any app. Both change constantly, and a figure that was right last year is a false claim this year. Paywalls are described by structure instead: which action is free, which one sits behind the paid tier, and which one most people hit first. Always check the current position in the app itself before deciding anything that involves money.

Government figures

The fraud pages quote published figures from the FBI and refer to loss figures by age band published by the Federal Trade Commission. Those are quoted as published and attributed to the agency. Figures of that kind describe reports that were made, and most fraud is never reported, so they are a floor rather than a total.

No verdicts on the companies

Criticism on this site is limited to product design and to things any reader can check by installing an app. Nothing here describes a dating company as fraudulent or dishonest, and nothing here accuses a named business of a crime. Fraud on dating apps is committed by criminals who use those platforms, which is not the same statement, and it is the one the FBI makes.

Platforms change

Dating apps change their interfaces, their matching and their free tiers without announcing it. A page here can go out of date between visits. Where that is found, the page is corrected, and a change that alters what the page says is noted on it rather than made silently. Tell the site which page and what is wrong using the address on the contact page.

Nothing here is a guarantee about a person

This site cannot tell you whether a particular match is genuine, and no service can. The pages about fake profiles explain what to look for and what to do, and a live video call is the single most useful check available to anybody. Treat any service that offers to confirm a specific person as a service to be read about carefully on the profile check page before any money or photograph changes hands.

No outcome is promised

Nothing here promises that following the advice will produce a relationship, a date or a reply. The single biggest factor in whether an app works for a reader is how many people near them are actively using it, and no page can change that. What the pages can do is make sure the reader is not wasting months on an app that was never going to work, which is a smaller promise and an honest one.
