People reveal what really happened when they clicked 'hot singles in your area'

I'm sure you've all seen those dodgy ads that pop up on your computer screen when you're perfusing the porn sites late at night. You know the ones, "Click here to meet hot singles in your area". Yeah, those ads. Most people are smart enough to know that they're total bullshit and to steer well clear, but than there are those wishful thinkers out there that really want to believe that a hot single wants to meet up.
Here we have a few stories from people who did indeed click that button to meet those sexy singles. Damn fools! You don't have to be a genius to realise that none of these stories have a happy ending.

I was a young 18 year old lad and bored. Saw the usual ad of click here for fun girls in your area and I thought to myself that I had fraud protection, I’m good. The website took my entered card info and immediately started racking up random charges for gift cards and premium Hotmail services (guess that’s a thing?)

I called the bank’s support line quite nervous as I was paying for adult services and was still uncomfortable talking about that type of thing. The guy at the bank was a total bro and literally said; “You lost your card at the mall? I’m so sorry to hear that. Let me reverse these charges and get you a new card.” Never once did I mention a lost card or mall. Would have been a life customer if they hadn’t closed that branch.

Couple of years ago a young guy (must be a teenager around 16-17) came to my door and told me that he is looking for this girl, whom he met through some stupid porn dating site and she gave him my address to meet . I told him that I live here by myself (am a 28 years old guy) and all the women who have been here since I have moved in here are not the porn dating site type I believe.

But he was too adamant and was sweating hard by now. So I asked him to come in and sit and gave him a glass of water. Then I asked him that how much he paid for that, he looked down and said $750, so again I asked that how he managed to pay, he replied: “Mum’s card”.
So after a small unofficial counselling, I convinced him to call his parents to my place and played a mediator between the two parties. We all adults decided to report this to the police since my address has also been used for the fraud and mother immediately blocked her card. Family invited me for dinner for keeping their son calm during the panicking situation and we all laughed over a drink after the poor kid went to sleep.

I clicked one of the ads for one of those $1 trials to one of the big name porn sites. Reality kings maybe? Figured I’d see if it was worth paying for and either way I’d only be out a dollar. First it ended up being $2, not because of any weird fees, but they charged my card twice. But I trudged on because eh what’s $2, and I can bitch at them later. So I get their email like ,”Thanks for signing up for the trial click here to check out our content.”

I click there.
I immediately get two more emails, being charged twice in the amount of something like $40 each. So at this point I don’t even bother, I immediately close everything and fire up their customer support.
I tell them I paid for a $1 trial, got double charged, proceeded to click on the link given to me in the email thanking me for signing up and was then instantly double charged $40. The support rep told me I was charged because I went to a “premium area not included in the free trial, and by going into that area I automatically agreed to pay for a full subscription.” I told her nah, I clicked on the link you sent me, I’ll be taking a refund. She said they don’t give refunds. I told her they will give me a refund or my bank will be. Suddenly they magically gave refunds.

Never got the $2 double charge back though.

I was an 18 year old who just moved to a new city for college and knew nobody. Through one of those pop ups, I found a hookup site that was something cheap like $3 a month. I signed up for the free account and got some messages, but to reply, I needed to be a paying member. I put $10 on a prepaid Visa card so that if I got scammed, it was ONLY for $10. The one month I had the account, I got no messages. The day my month expired, I got 7 messages from different girls who would be way out my league if they were real. Not being stupid enough to fall for it again, I closed my account. $3 spent to learn that those websites are bullshit is a fairly cheap lesson.

All I can say is underestimate the gullibility of a lonely socially inept person.
