Can a dating site charge you $500 weekly if you do not do a verification process?
Asked on Nov 07th, 2022 on Internet Law - New York
More details to this question:
I joined a site for dating and as soon as I joined I got a message from an admin when trying to talk to a girl, and they say I need to go through a verification process or get fined $500 weekly. It was out of nowhere and the admin sent me their number to do the process, it started getting annoying and costing more money, and I am thinking they are a scammer and not sure. I want to delete my account instead and not deal with this but the site won't let me delete my account. I understand there are safety reasons for this but if I can't do it just kick me out the site in that case. There is also people saying on the site there are different costs, or that there is a url for a free process. Please help.
You should get legal counsel. At minimum it is necessary to have the terms and conditions of the website, the document that proves you have a contract and the evidence of the website conduct, consisting in the $500 charges or other conduct.
