Only we select the profile but there is no reply from anyone. just waste of money when we submit complaint they say to uninstall the current app and install new one but when we do it we are not getting the OTP for our own login. waste of money and Time. I suggest not to install this type of fake dating apps which is spoiling our hard earned money.
