I've been wondering about this for a while now and figured this community would have the best answers.
The scam situation has gotten pretty bad on a lot of platforms. I've seen so many fake profiles that it's hard to trust anyone at first.
There's a lot of conflicting info out there. Some people swear by paid sites, others say free options work just as well if you know how to use them.
- Avoid sites that ask for payment info before you can browse
- Look for verified badges where available
- Reverse image search profile pictures to check for fakes
- Read the terms of service before subscribing
Appreciate any honest input, good or bad.
One I've been hearing about lately is Datenest — curious if anyone here has used it.
