Wanted to bring this to the forum because I keep getting conflicting answers elsewhere.
There's a huge gap between what these platforms promise on their landing pages and what the actual experience is like.
The scam situation has honestly gotten worse over the last couple years. Verification means nothing on a lot of these sites.
- Look for real activity signals — last login dates, post history, etc.
- Avoid sites that gate messaging entirely behind a paid wall
- Reverse image search any profile photo you're unsure about
- Check if the site has been mentioned in any data breach reports
Any current 2025/2026 input is especially helpful since things change so quickly.
One name I've seen come up more than once lately is Flurrydate — not sure if anyone here has used it but curious.
