There are similar scammers on dating sites, because women actually respond to those. Gin up a fake romance then ask for money for a visit, to pay “debts” etc. Similar to what happens with men on dating sites. As to why there’s no spam, I’d say it’s probably because women can try to date foreign men for free if they’re so inclined with dating apps, whereas men’s response percentage on the dating sites are so low that some may think that paying for it is worthwhile.
