Paid content and “deposits” before a date

In short

The profile is really an ad: it pushes you to buy private photos, subscribe to a page or pay a deposit “to secure the date” - a taxi, a booking, a ticket. Once paid, the person disappears or asks for more. A date never needs to be paid for in advance.

How it usually goes

  1. Very direct interest from the first message.
  2. A price list or a link to a paid page.
  3. Or a meeting that needs a deposit first: taxi, booking, ticket.
  4. After payment: silence, or another fee.

Signs to spot

What the messages look like

i have exclusive content on my private page, subscribe and i'll send you more
i can come tonight but pay for my taxi first so i know you're serious

Typical wording used by scammers on dating apps and messengers.

What to do

  1. Don't pay anything before meeting - no deposits, no taxi money.
  2. Report profiles that sell content: it's against the rules.
  3. Keep chatting only with people who want to meet as equals.
