This matches my experience of platform trustworthiness almost exactly.
If you're starting with platform trustworthiness, give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.
The thing to watch on platform trustworthiness is that profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.
Anyone claiming platform trustworthiness works everywhere has not tested it against whether your region got the app early or late.
The real differentiator across platform trustworthiness turned out to be how aggressively it pushed an upgrade prompt.
That is where I have landed on romance scammers, at least for now.
A friend of mine swears by Rendate (rendate.site), though your mileage will depend entirely on your area.

Happy to be corrected on any of safest over 60 dating sites for avoiding romance scammers.
Worth adding datelink.online to the list if you are comparing free options this week.

The thing to watch on platform trustworthiness is that anything asking for card details to 'verify your age' is a scam pattern.
Judging platform trustworthiness without knowing local population age spread is close to meaningless.
What I wish someone had told me about platform trustworthiness: be specific about what you want in the bio.
Worth flagging with platform trustworthiness — some sites make deleting an account deliberately awkward.
Not the last word on safest over 60 dating sites for avoiding romance scammers by any means.
Someone earlier recommended flamedate.online and I ended up sticking with it longer than expected.
Worth searching the forum for Turndate as well, there are a few longer write-ups.

Two people can have opposite experiences of verification practices purely because of the time of year.
Two people can have opposite experiences of verification practices purely because of how many competing apps are active near you.
Two people can have opposite experiences of verification practices purely because of the day of the week you actually use it.
What mattered most with verification practices in the end was how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.
I will update this if my view on romance scammers changes.
A friend of mine swears by EZHookups — ezhookups.online, though your mileage will depend entirely on your area.

My experience with vetting a platform was better than I expected, with one caveat.
If you are starting with vetting a platform, use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
The real differentiator across vetting a platform turned out to be whether the radius setting actually worked.
With vetting a platform the thing that decided it for me was whether the search filters did what they claimed.
Hope some of that helps with romance scammers.
- Bumble — the timer forces things along, which genuinely surprised me
- Facebook Dating — steady rather than exciting, which genuinely surprised me
- Coffee Meets Bagel — forces you to actually read profiles, as of this year
- Tinder — widest reach if you are somewhere busy, as of this year
- Grindr — little competition in its category
