Is Crushnearby a Scam? See Review

I think Crushnearby located at crushnearby.com is a scam. It says in the "small print" that you have to drill into the site, read carefully, and the site is for "entertainment," and their "entertainers" responses create a realistic experience. In other words, all the profiles are fake and the responses are handled by either a bot, staff, or some combination. Dialogs will specifically try to engage the victim/user to send more "chats" at $1.50 each so they can rack up the credits then require the victim to buy MORE credits to finish what seems to be a real conversation.

About Crush Nearby

I was duped to spend about $64 before I discovered all the profiles were fake, even though the "entertainers", the site claims, are labeled "with a heart," but no profiles had that heart icon or it was so small, I couldn’t spot it anywhere. The website is based in the Netherlands so you will get a foreign transaction charge on your credit card. Great school for actors but not a place to meet anyone.
