    There has been a massive increase in the number of spam messages and fake profiles on Grindr. In the past week I have been getting at least 10 spam messages a day. They send a message saying something like ‘you still up. I’m *****’. The user is shown to be offline the second the message arrives. I simply report and delete. Fake profiles have increased too. I message someone and within seconds receive a reply with an image for a website. Some of these are easily identifiable from the elongated profile image. Also lots of men trying to get me to sign up for some web scheduling for their own security. I think Grindr needs to implement stronger I’d verification protocols for its users’ security. IG vérification to non-private IG pages, FB or other ways to verify that the user is who they say they are. For those concerned about people seeing their IG, FB or other social media then Grindr should implement a private ID verification that Grindr staff verify which allows the users profile to indicate that they are a verified user. This will help reduce the number of scammers and other con artists from creating fake profiles and preying on The Grindr community.
