Description

?? Scam Tracker Report Draft Scam Type: Online Dating / Romance Scam Business or Website Name: Dora (dating app) Website (if known): dora.run How the scam worked: I signed up for a dating app called “Dora” that presented itself as a legitimate dating service where I could connect with real people. After creating an account, I immediately began receiving multiple messages from attractive profiles. The responses were extremely fast and appeared scripted or automated. The platform requires users to purchase coins in order to continue messaging. I was encouraged to buy coins to keep conversations going, but the interactions did not feel authentic. Attempts to move conversations off the platform or exchange contact information were restricted. I believe the service is misrepresenting itself as a legitimate dating platform while potentially using fake or automated profiles to generate revenue through paid messaging. How much money was lost: $500.00 plus Date(s) of interaction: 2-19-2026 to 3-4-2026 How you paid (if applicable): Credit/Debit Card / Apple Pay What you want others to know: not a legitimate site Consumers should be cautious of this platform. The messaging appears designed to encourage ongoing purchases rather than genuine dating connections. I have photos of the code that appeared in a few messages as well.
