I am a treasure girl...
I'm seeing some 'lights are on, but no one is home' dating site Dé·jà vu. I believe this place is running on autopilot right now. It looks familiar to the scenario of other (now defunct) sites where absent management became apparent.Hopefully, I'm wrong.
My indicator is the amount of fraudulent profiles stacking up for the last 3 months. In two days I counted more than 20 new profiles with different photos of the same woman and her opening line is "I am a treasure girl" That is about half of the new membership so far this week.
While most of the bogus profiles send out messages and never return. Reporting them used to get their profiles deleted. The bad part (for the company) is it affected the numbers of new membership. Now, it appears more have joined the site, because the bogus ones are still here. Something that looks good if the place is up for sale. Lots of new profiles (real or fake) means more clicks and revenue from the advertisers.
I'm only basing my opinion on profiles of the women. That's all I check. My guess it could be the same for men's profiles. So as a whole, when someone says "This place is crawling with scammers" that statement has become true.

I myself am getting more real men interested in me on here because my profile looks more real.
I told one man wow you make 100,000 a year? He said believe it or not that does not buy much these days. Ain’t that the truth. I find that the real men will talk about their income with me while the fakes and lazy men won’t.
It sounded like a lot, but in reality, that only lasted a year as his cost of living expenses exceeded that 'larger' salary. The family packed up and moved to Ohio where his father subsidized his expenses.
I did read a story about a husband and wife making over $600,000 and unable to make ends meet!!
