Scam Number:
Domain Used: OrchidRomance.com AsianMelodies.com EasternHoneys.com
Extra Info: A bunch of “dating” websites with weird credits based payment systems filled with chatbots. Trustpilot reviews indicate people are asked to upload sensitive documents. All the data was found to be leaked by “mailfire” an email marketing company, which is now calling themselves Sendios.
scam sites: OrchidRomance.com, EasternHoneys.com, LatinFeels.com, Asianfeels.com, Juliadate.com, Kismia.com, Asianmelodies.com, UkrainianCharm.com, AsiaCharm.com, JollyRomance.com, OneAmour.com, Valentime.com, Loveeto.com, Wethunt.com, Cum2date.com, Jolly.me, and a lot more.

There seems to be a bunch of “mail order bride review” sites that link to them as well: bridewoman.net, yourglobalbride.com, brightbrides.org, jetbride.com, russbrides.net, foreign-brides.net, and a lot more.

They’ve started buying youtube ad space for fake blogs that refer to these sites.
(Look up “Asian love magazine” on youtube for examples of SOME of these ads)

Interesting post - what sensitive information are they asked for?

Just looking over trustpilot I’m seeing mentions of drivers license, passports, etc. It doesn’t appear everyone uploads this info, but enough people mention having to upload information for “verification” that I noticed

Doesn’t immediately seem to be a scam, but suspicious.

oh I mean ZDnet confirms the prevalence of chatbots, which combined with a pay-to-chat system based on confusing credits it’s definitely a scam. Just curious if there’s more than just the obvious pay-to-chat part of it.
