I am very furiously irritated with Grindr and how the app has diminished significantly when it comes to moderation, security, and quality of management and operation.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and it NEVER fails, when I log into the app, I am almost always contacted in my DMs from a profile that has spoofed their location as being approximately 15 to 35 miles distance away, and the profile ALWAYS shows a picture of an attractive Asian man, many times going by the name "Li", who initiates a chat in understandable but imperfect English, often introducing himself by name in the very first message.
Then his conversation advances rather rapidly with some very unusual off-the-wall & personal questions, and then he usually tries to move the chat away from the Grindr app and onto WhatsApp after requesting my phone number.
And then, he tries to convince me that we are "good friends" and continues chatting about other random topics EXCEPT for meeting up in person for a sexual hookup encounter.

When I'm tired of my intentions of hooking up not being fulfilled and I politely try to dismiss this "good friend" without being a xenophobic jerk so that I can try to move on to score a legitimate sexual hookup, "Li" continues to send me messages and ask more questions as if he has absolutely nothing else in the world to do except to attempt to collect as much information possible about me that I am willing to share.
"Li" then tries to bring up the subject of cryptocurrency investments and how much $$$ that he has accumulated by getting involved with it and how I should consider joining efforts with him to make an easy quick fortune in the business.
This specific type of bad actor fake profile is a Chinese Personal information collector attempting to operate what is known as a "Pig Butchering Scam", Google that and you'll find out exactly what he's up to.

Once I found out what kind of bullshit he was trying to make a fool out of me with, I straight up told him yes I am an American but just because these idiot voters elected Donald Trump as President, that I AM NOT the gullible target he assumed me to be.

After blocking him, reporting him, and trying to resume achieving my goal of getting laid instead of getting scammed or my time wasted, "Li" or some other similar form of "Li:" attempts to start a conversation in my DMs ALL OVER AGAIN almost immediately and every damn time I log onto this severely compromised app.
And I know exactly what it is and have come to expect it when I get a notification, before I even open the message or look at the profile. And if I look at the profile and it so happens to depict the image of an Asian or Chinese man, I immediately respond to the chat message he sends with very insulting and offensive traditional Chinese character phrases to let him know that I will NOT be played for a fool, and then he will apparently block me because his profile and DM shortly vanishes afterwards.

But then, like the damn Hydra monster that regenerates 2 heads in the place of every 1 head that gets decapitated, some form of "Li" comes right back like Jesus Christ on the 3rd day to annoy and harass me again just so I can respond to his messages with obscenities and insults written in his native 1st language.
I swear I believe these Chinese Information Collectors must get turned on, amused and excited for me to tell them upfront how their mother is a walking Petri dish of a multitude of various sources of different DNA and their father smells like a kangaroo confined in a jail cage and how disgusting and cruel they are for eating dogs and cats in their traditional cuisine.

I normally am very politically correct and try to avoid being ignorant and slinging bad stereotypical comments, but I am damn SICK AND TIRED of these cutthroat international con-artists wasting my time whenever I am on a mission to get some decent local phallic therapy and I am HIGHLY PISSED OFF that you inefficient ineffective moderators and management of Grindr safety and security DON'T seem to be doing a damn thing to STOP this shit. DO BETTER or find some employees who knows what the hell they are supposed to do in order to provide quality service and satisfaction with this shitty app.
