Oh yes, I had exactly the same experience there! Everyone wanted gift cards and money! It's nearly impossible to find a woman who pursues a relationship on Valentime. I was really frustrated with them (( Luckily, I kept looking and I found a genuine site:

They have so many gorgeous women, you feel like at a candy shop there! I have been chatting with quite a few girls there for half a year and neither of them has asked me for gifts or money, they really look for love and happiness! I paid for this service, but it's the first time that I'm actually having great and tangible results on a dating site!

They are not looking for love just someone that is looking for someone to pay attention to them. I have talked to many of them on the Hangout app. They all have long phrases about faith and god. They ask for Amazon gift cards and steam cards to update there phone. One person I wrote through their BS and the face of a fat guy showed up in little circle. They are all fake saying they live in Ghana and their parents or one parent had died. Some have said they live in the US but they are fake also.

Ahh yes, the infamous Ghana nursing scam invariably will request gift cards, phones, and money to pay for flights to marry you.
