Yes, DateFit Is a Scam — And the CEO Literally Texted Me Asking for Money

I downloaded the DateFit app around 6–8 months ago while I was in Austin, Texas—the unofficial fitness capital of the state. I thought it was a cool idea: a dating app for people who prioritize health and fitness. In theory, it should’ve been a great way to meet like-minded people.

In reality? It was a total scam.

🚩 No Matches — But Lots of “Messages”

From the beginning, I noticed something was off. I wasn’t getting any matches—zero. But somehow, I was getting tons of messages. These weren’t just normal app notifications either. DateFit was texting my actual phone number every time a message came in. That’s not just intrusive—that’s shady.

And here’s the kicker: you can’t even reply to those messages unless you pay $12.99/month. So for someone to message me, they’d also have to be paying the monthly fee.

Ask yourself this:
Are beautiful, grammar-perfect, fit women from all over really spending $12.99/month just to message random guys like me—but not swiping right like they would on a normal dating app?

Of course not. They’re fake. Or worse—there’s some kind of incentive scheme behind it. Either way, it’s not real.

I bit the bullet and paid for one month. Just to see what was on the other side. And what did I find?
Still no matches. The “users” who messaged me were either bots or scripted spam. When I messaged back, they didn’t reply—or they sent completely irrelevant responses. I tried talking to dozens of them. Only one seemed possibly real, and even then, she wasn’t convinced it was a scam until I showed her all this.

After that, I deleted the app and forgot about it—until last week.

💬 The CEO Texted Me. Yes, Really.

Out of nowhere, I got a text message from a random number. It was the CEO of DateFit.
Complete with a photo of himself.

He addressed it to the “DateFit fam” and proceeded to pitch… wait for it… a wearable energy patch that uses “vibrotactile technology.” It’s some kind of supplement-style adhesive you put on your body. The claims range from “energy boost” to “pain relief” to “better sleep.”

The company is clearly some sort of MLM (multi-level marketing) setup. I checked their website, and you can’t even see prices unless you click through a rep’s personal link. That’s a classic MLM red flag. Eventually, I found out the patches cost $60 for 28.

For context:

• No caffeine
• No sugar (lol… on a patch?)
• No listed ingredients
• And apparently, people are reporting rashes.

Their “backed by science” claim is vague at best—and intentionally misleading at worst.

❌ “Text STOP to Unsubscribe” — Another Lie

In the CEO’s spam message, he said I could reply “STOP” to stop receiving texts.

I did.

They texted me again the next day.

I got another message from the app saying someone messaged me. That would mean a new user paid $12.99 just to message me… even though I still have zero matches.

It’s all theater. An elaborate funnel just to keep you paying.

🎥 I Show All of This in the Video

🧼 Final Thoughts

This isn’t just a bad dating app. It’s a predatory system designed to:

• Trick people into paying for false hope
• Spam your personal phone number
• Use your data to upsell you garbage products
• And pretend you can unsubscribe while ignoring the law

If you downloaded DateFit, delete it.
If you paid for it, ask for a refund.
And if you haven’t tried it yet—don’t.

This app is not about fitness or dating. It’s about extracting money through deception.

🔄 Update

If you landed here by searching something like “datefit text messages” or “datefit spam texts,” you’re not alone. I’ve continued to receive text messages from DateFit, long after I replied STOP. They keep coming — sometimes from different numbers — and they still feel automated, vague, and suspicious.

So yeah, the app’s behavior hasn’t changed. If anything, it’s confirmed everything I said above. If this is the experience you’re having too, feel free to share this article — or better yet, ask for a refund and uninstall it.
