Zendate

I gave Zendate a try as a free user, but I can confidently say this platform is more about paying than connecting. You get ONE free message before hitting a paywall, and after that, every interaction feels forced through the app to keep you spending. Even opening emails is behind a paywall. I tried asking multiple matches to talk on Telegram or elsewhere, and almost all of them responded with the same line: "Let's get to know each other here first." It felt robotic, like a script. Most profiles are vague, blank, or suspiciously perfect—and the locations often don't match what users say in messages. It's hard to believe many of these people are even real. I got spammed with dozens of women wanting to 'connect' through video calls, messages, or emails. I only put in one photo of myself and had nothing in my bio. That's a huge red flag. If you're serious about finding a real connection, I'd recommend avoiding this site. It feels more like a business model built on keeping you talking—not helping you meet someone.

Scripted Scams, Fake Profiles, and Zero Accountability I spent over a year on this platform talking to a man named "Dr. Vincent Turner" who claimed to be a surgeon in Caracas. He refused to leave the site, dodged video chats, and sent the same repeated scripts across multiple affiliated sites — often restarting as if we'd never met. His photos spanned 30+ years, and his messages were full of contradictions. He told me he was at home enjoying solitude, then five messages later said he was busy operating in surgery. When I finally confronted the pattern, all communication stopped — and shortly after, I was locked out of purchasing credits. Four different credit cards were denied. My ability to buy messages was intentionally blocked across all sister sites. Only one site responded to my formal complaint. The rest ignored it. This is not a coincidence — it's collusion between platforms under the Dating.com umbrella, and it shows exactly how these sites protect scripted fraud for profit. I have documented everything — including screenshots, message logs, and company responses — and submitted my case to the FTC, BBB, and other consumer watchdogs. This is a system designed to extract money through fake intimacy, and it needs to be investigated. (User ID: *******7331 – Username: Bucko)
