On some platforms yes, on others no, and it is the single most useful thing to check before investing time. If a site covering Plovdiv will not let you start a conversation without a card on file, treat that as information about how thin its local membership probably is.

The pattern is consistent everywhere: an unusually fast emotional escalation, a reluctance to video call, and eventually a request for money. None of that is specific to Plovdiv. Keep the conversation on-platform, video call before meeting, and never send funds to someone you have not met.
