Recently, someone using a fake account lured me in to share photos and right up until the moment he was supposed to "come over", attempted to "s"extort us into paying him/her money. If profiles were validated by grindr, this would keep the spam and scams to a minimum. Here we are, 48 hours later and the profile is still up and running after I've reported it with proof. It's time for grindr to start verifying accounts as a requirement. If someone can't screenshot their drivers license, along with a photo of themselves to verify, they don't need an account.
