Benaughty.com aims to defraud its users with bots

Whilst flipping through Tinder, an ad cane-up for the sight benaughty.com . As most who I met on Tinder had intentions to get money out of me, and being single, I decided to give this site a shot as it advertised for single around me, as many dating sites do.

After signing up, I decided to upgrade so I could read messages for three. I also took an additional benefit which I can't clearly recall but, this is where the first discrepancy lies with the site. The prices for this package did not carry any currency sign. After accepting the bill, I learned that the currency was either Euro or Dollar. But, I let it be as it was under R100 and I had the option to unsubscribe. The offer did carry a term saying that if the 3 day subscription is not cancelled, the package will aitomatically update to a month package, which I acknowledge.

Upon chatting to members, I found that not even one member was hunan. Every single user was an automated bot. Within an hour or two, I followed steps which were required on the site to unsubscribe and the processes indicated this. However, one 26 February, two amounts went out from my account: lirfee.com for 229.52zar and billtw.com for R245.69. Both these sites are American based.

My concerns are:

1. The site falsely advertising singles in the area 2. Amounts are stated without a currency symbol and are therefore, misleading. 3. Their unsubsribe process is delibrately vague, leading to upgrade actions without prior permission. 4. Upon chatting to a call centre agent via the lirfee.com site, my attempt to unsubscribe was confirmed as well as that I apparently accepted a '2 for 1' special which is why I was billed twice. This was never indicated anywhere. The agent went on to offer me a free month as the debit could not be reversed. This is direct acknowledgement of fraudulent activity. If I didn't even spend an entire day on the site, why would I spend two months chatting to bots. I was then rudely cut-off when I asked for a senior's email after being told that I must just accept their policy.

I have no issues with their policy but, it is clear that this site has been programmed so that unsuspecting subscribers chat to bots instead of real people.

I warn other frequenters of dating apps of this fake dating site and, from them, demand my refund and ask everyone who has also been robbed to make it known and demand a refund.
