That's insane. Not sure why people would lie about that tbh. Like texting is as far as they'll get lol

The businesses that create these apps have a lot to answer for , countless numbers of members have not only been scammed but murdered as too when will legislation come in to protect registrants.

A uptodate passport, driving license, with a live photo crossmatching , would be a start .

Alongside recent proof of address .Would be really useful.
I'm pretty certain full verification would save many from a string of potential ordeals.
However it seems quick profit rules the day, and personal, just doesnt matter.

If in doubt ask for a video call sooner rather than later .

Anything less is really tempting fate.

It is true madness I must say. Be especially careful for certain things in a profile introduction too. People can make mistakes in their quest for a relationship

Unless you meet someone face to face and interact with them enough to actually like them, there is no chance of a relationship working out. The most important decision of your life must not be left to computer algorithms or sex traffickers. Trust, but only after you verify.

You know why? Because most are chasing illusive partner. Presenting you as you are don’t get you anywhere.

Says Uma Thurman

Scammers are always on the look out for hapless daters looking for their ideal guy or girl and dating apps are their happy hunting grounds.

"Movie star looks, love spelunking, fishing, sushi (rawer the better), into "precious" metal rings, sometimes I'm of two minds (makes me a Gemini?), I run in elite circles (wizards, nobility, heads of states, etc. all want in on my action), and well-travelled."

I would say 80% are fake profiles.

Not all of them are scammers

Its the same here lol

Amen sister!

I’ve had something similar happen to me, tinder is one of the worst apps out there
