Tinder Match Scam
Tinder Scams: How They Work
Tinder is a very popular location-based mobile application that encourages correspondence between commonly intrigued users. The dating application permits users to talk with their matches, as soon as they like each other.
The application was launched in 2012 and was among the first applications in which you can utilize a swiping movement to pick between the photographs of different users: swiping a photo right when you like someone and left to move to the next. How does the scam work?
Watch the video below to see one great Tinder scam explained:

There are a few ways that have been reported to be unscrupulous:
a) The match will ask you to download her ‘favorite’ song, application, or program. Little do you know you will infect your phone with malware.
b) The match will ask you to answer a few survey questions, so they can get referral fees from random businesses.
c) The match will ask you to try an ‘amazing’ product or service. Besides that, you might be asked for other sensitive personal information, including an address and even place of work.
Tinder Scams: How To Avoid
How would you recognize a scammer on Tinder? Тhеу typically аnswеr way tоо quісk. A very good looking person will very seldom contact you the second you swiped her right. А lаrgе numbеr оf thе fаkе рrоfіlеs оn Тіndеr аrеn’t gеnuіnе іndіvіduаls, thеу аrе sраm bоts.
Try to keep a normal conversation first, without being ‘transferred’ to a different medium. Sure, if things go well you will definitely start texting via regular phone message, but beware of those who want that urgent.
