Message

Now when you message someone they can’t text you back and it’s bad they can’t also read your message. Yes and I want people to read my message and this is the main reason we pay for this app and yes I want you managers to look this up for us

Scam alert!!!

Within 30 seconds of opening the app for the first time I started getting nonstop messages from “women” who were clearly bots. One said “winter seems to not want to leave the city” it’s August and 80 degrees outside right now. I asked a different woman who messaged me where in the city she lived. She said in the center. Nobody says that haha. I realized that to respond you have to pay for tokens or something. So this app is a scam and should be taken down. Don’t waste your money!!!!
