Love or Deception: Beware of Tinder Scams
Have you ever felt like you found the right match online, only to find out it was all a lie? Tinder scams are a wild world where hearts are broken and money is lost faster than you can imagine.
Scammers use misleading tricks called “Tinder scams” to take advantage of people who use the famous dating app “Tinder.” These frauds usually involve making fake accounts to meet individuals and start relationships with them. After linking, fraudsters may try to control their victims’ emotions or money.
Catfishing is a common scam where scammers pretend to be someone else and ask for money under false pretences. Others may try to trick people into giving them personal information or clicking on harmful links. Avoid falling for Tinder frauds by being careful when talking to new matches, especially if they seem too good to be true. Check the person’s name before talking to them, and never send money or personal information to someone you meet online.
Deceptive Tinder scams you must know
Tinder bots
Bots mimic Tinder users in the Tinder Bots scam. Chatbots build phoney profiles and interact with real individuals. These bots seek personal information, promote external websites, or conduct phishing attacks.
Catfishing
A phoney profile utilising someone else’s photographs and information is created. Catfishers use this profile to flirt or deceive other users. They influence others emotionally and seek financial benefit.
Blackmailing
A Tinder scammer may lure a user into providing compromising photographs or participating in inappropriate behaviour during talks. The con artists then demand a ransom to reveal this information. Blackmail like this can hurt emotionally and financially.
Tinder Code Scam
Scammers impersonate Tinder staff and say the user’s account violates platform regulations. So they can “fix” the issue, they request a verification code via phone. Using this code, the fraudster locks the user out and impersonates them.
Venue Promotion Scam
A Tinder venue promotion fraud involves tricking users into visiting a pub or restaurant under the guise of meeting a match. After arriving, they realise that the venue is promoting a product or service that was never a match. Scammers use deception to get people to spend money at the promoted venue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Scammers can use reverse phone lookups to get your name and other personal information. They can also use these results to find your social media accounts and try to blackmail you with photos of you.
Check if the social media links have real pictures and bios or captions that sound like they were written by real people. Make sure they have a good number of followers and that fake bots aren’t using their ID.
The person tells you they love you, even though they have never met you in person. Individuals always offer reasons for not initiating a video call or simply do not show their faces.
Hackers use fake Facebook pages to get information they need to use on Tinder. There are probably no Facebook friends you have in common with them since they’re not real.
Watch out for people who won’t meet you in person, talk on the phone, or make a video call. They might not be who they claim they are.
