On the dating site Cupidon.com Guaranteed scam

Hello, I was scammed by this site BIG THUG! Is it possible to put an end to these global scams and recover the hundred Euros stolen by these bandits?
It is terrible that ill-intentioned people can take advantage of the most vulnerable, the lonely, the socially awkward, elderly people who are alone, or those looking for "healthy" companionship. This site connects us with names of people who are not who they claim to be, with photos of people who are not those they describe themselves as. (I came across someone claiming to be single, from Rouen, who turned out to be a person living in Côte d'Ivoire, as if by chance!.... and with an 8-year-old child. After a small exchange, realizing the scam I was dealing with, I immediately canceled my account, but the process was underway and these BIG THUGS continued to siphon money from my account. I had no choice but to alert my bank and immediately block my credit card. I went to the police to report these crimes, but they said they could not intervene! My bank called me back after asking me to take action with the police by filing a report for the fraudulent use of my bank details, and they told me that since it was a commercial scam, they could not reimburse the fraudulent charges. Which I acknowledge, makes perfect sense on their part! We made the initial request, not the bank...

These BIG THUGS make money by misusing our bank details after registration and continue to steal from us until we block our credit card;
One must be absolutely vigilant at all times and as often as possible to see what is happening in their account!!!!!
This paralyzes us in our daily needs of using our credit card since we have to wait for our new card and use the only means of payment available, which are: cash withdrawal at the counter, or a bank check that we must not forget, especially when traveling.....
To whom it may concern, Goodbye!

I wish to intervene as the manager of Cupidon Sàrl, the publisher of the dating sites Cupidon.net, cupidon.be, cupidon.fr, and also the holder of the Cupidon trademark registered in 2008 on French territory.

Our company has noticed with dismay that the company EasyDate / Cupid Plc, governed by Scottish law, has begun to exploit the site Cupidon.com.

This is an infringement of our rights.

Furthermore, we have noticed that their business practices are far from commendable, and we can only encourage people to file complaints with the General Directorate for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF).

On our side, we have taken steps to put an end to the confusion between our sites.

I just got scammed exactly the way "little duck" described.
After having some doubts, I wrote to them, they assured me they would no longer withdraw anything from my account on June 19, and they have since withdrawn the equivalent of €80 in several installments.
I also have shady women writing to me from Côte d'Ivoire.
I lacked critical thinking from that moment on.
I wrote to them an hour ago, I regret it, I should have first informed myself and started by blocking for the future.
If you want to team up with others to fight against these scammers, I'm in.

In addition to the information, the girls who turn out to be in Côte d'Ivoire, when they were supposed to be from the eastern region, are the second part of the scam; it is a blatant attempt at fraud.
While I am in my fifties and was looking for profiles of women between 46 and 52 years old, with some culture, they do not respond to me.
On the other hand, young girls between 18 and thirty fall in love with me in no time.
I explained to the first ones that I was old enough to be their father and went further with two to see what I was dealing with.
The scenario is generally the same:
The girl sends me photos in revealing clothes, with a naive look.
She is happy to find a serious man because she is serious herself.
(By the way, the style sometimes changes from one email to another).
She would be happy to love me, adore me, pamper me until the end of time because she is sentimentally faithful, has love to give, etc.
But unfortunately, the ex who made her a child is so mean and horrible that she had to take refuge in Côte d'Ivoire... has no money, and doesn't know how to meet up...
I'll stop here; you can guess the rest.
I no longer respond (this is done on a junk email outside of Cupid, and I receive follow-ups).
Initially, a site linked to Facebook, which looked good (with a few small forgivable translation errors) had a fresh and healthy aspect.
It is just the opposite.
A company based in Cyprus, under Scottish law, with a well French green line (0805...)
If anyone wants to give information to the DGCCRF to eradicate them, I will join in.
My goal will not be to spend my weekends there but only to provide enough evidence to the DGCCRF to take them down.
Best regards.
