Only Dating does not charge a fee to join, to send a message, or to keep a conversation open. There is no credit to buy, and there is no verification payment. If a member says the site has charged them, or that you must pay to unlock their messages, that person is not telling you the truth.
What a scam looks like
- They need money, a gift card, a ticket, or a fee. The reason changes. The ask does not.
- They fall for you within days, and then they cannot meet. A video call is the next thing they cannot do.
- They want WhatsApp, email, or your phone number straight away, often because the site is "being watched".
- They ask for identity documents, your workplace, or an explicit photo to prove you are real.
A real member can answer an ordinary question, stay on Only Dating, and wait. Messaging here is free, so there is no practical reason to move the conversation in the first few days. Urgency is the useful sign. Someone who needs you to break your own rules tonight is not being careful.
What to do
Stop replying. Do not send money to test them, and do not negotiate. On their profile, use Report profile and Block. Say what they asked for. You do not need to attach a photo or a document.
If you have already sent money, contact your bank and stop the payment if you can. You can also report romance fraud to Action Fraud. Telling us does not recall a payment. It does let us remove the account.
