Dear Grindr Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing as a loyal user of your platform to request an essential feature that could greatly enhance the user experience and safety for your community.

Currently, there is a significant issue with the presence of profiles advertising escort services or similar arrangements, often disguised as regular users. This situation not only disrupts the intended purpose of the app for those seeking genuine connections but also opens the door to scams and fraudulent activities. Unfortunately, I have personally fallen victim to such a scam, which has further highlighted the urgency of addressing this concern.

I kindly suggest implementing a dedicated category for service providers or, alternatively, introducing robust measures to block or filter such profiles. This would help legitimate users avoid these advertisements and maintain a safer, more enjoyable environment for everyone.

Grindr has always been a valuable platform for fostering connections, and I believe that addressing this issue will reinforce your commitment to providing a secure and welcoming space for the LGBTQ+ community.

Thank you for considering this request. I am confident that this enhancement will be widely appreciated by the Grindr user base. Please let me know if further details are needed.

Best regards,
BMT
