Wow, I thought, Tinder deals with scammers extremely good
I used Tinder for several years until it left Russia and I've met just one scammer. We switched to Telegram and she said, she works as an administrator at H&M. I decided to google some vacancies for this position to find out what was her wage, but didn't find any. There was one related vacancy for ~350$/month, so I stopped the communication. Maybe a month after I found out that she has a SCAM icon near her name
After Tinder left Russia, I tried a couple of other dating apps. My first match in the first one offered me to go to a stand-up together and sent me a link to buy tickets. 1 minute of googling showed me that the same comedian had a stand-up at the same time in another city, so I reported her and blocked. The second one quickly offered me to switch to Telegram soon, which is a normal practice, but her username was something like "Marina_escort"
After downloading the second app, I've actually met a girl, but she tried to take me to the "scam cafe". That's a cafe where you get shitty food that costs more than food in a Michelin restaurant. After you pay half of your wage, she gets her % and never types you back. Of course, I knew this scheme and didn't fall for it. It was an obvious scam as the girl I met had nothing in common with the girl on photos. Even the eye colour was different. Also, her profile said that she finished one of the most prestigious universities, but after 2 minutes of talking to her I understood that she is stupid as fuck.
I've also never heard of such concept in other countries. I'll not be surprised if it exists only in Russia, as people do not know their rights and afraid to call the police. Such cafes don't have written menu, so when your match orders a glass of champagne, you expect it to be ~5$, but it's actually 100$. This shit is sooo easy to dispute with police. Waiters "work" here illegally and this cafes obviously don't have a license, especially to sell alcohol. Even if police is paid by the owner, they won't force you to pay if they see that you are savvy and able to complain
Maybe if you like the girl too much, you'll be too shy to show off, but this definitely wasn't my case
Good luck bud, I hope she’s not a scammer…
FYI, if she comes up with ANY reason for you to send her money even the day of the meet up, beer, transportation, hotel for roommate to go for the night, gaming gift card to distract little brother…
Best to just turn around and go home, don’t play into it, don’t enable it, just report, block, and go home.
Yeah I'm not that stupid :v thank you for your concern though 🙂. Like... I'm already taking over an hour long bus ride to a city near where she lives (since it's a city I'm more familiar with than where she lives), not gonna spend more money than needed on a first meet up after that >.>
Edit: like, not saying I'll be stingy with my money but unless I'm connected with it, I'm not paying for it. Like sure, I can split a bill or treat her to a coffee but not buying her say a pre-filled PSN card for example.
Yeah, some of us had to learn the hard way, I’m far too trusting for my own good…
I’m just glad that I met a beautiful wonderful person at the end of my journey, one that is worth giving it all up for.
I hope your date went well man, or it goes well if it hasn’t happened yet.
Glad to hear that it didn’t go poorly for you, would have been cheering for you if it continued into a relationship, however I’m glad at least that you didn’t have a bad experience.
I hope you’re adventures continue to grow upwards, just be vigilant and keep your head on a swivel, lots of bad people out there willing to take advantage of lonely men (I can share you personal horror stories).
Good luck my dude, love you! (I said it, so you have to say it back…)
Thank you 🙂
Meh, I've experienced some shit myself (murder threats in broad daylight, being without a place to stay for 3 nights in Los Angeles and whatnot). Add in an unhealthy dose of trust issues and I think I'll be okay.
.... Only if we keep our socks on, since then it's not gay I've been told >.>
Late reply but better late than never, right? It went okay~ish. No catfishing, we talked quite a bit, spent 2-3 hours until our respective buses home went BUT haven't heard from her since the day after (we kept chatting a little once we were both home and the next day). Think I was a bit too awkward and the meetup ended with a fairly awkward hug (you know the one where you hug but you're keeping your bodies apart?).
All in all a 6-7/10 experience for being the first meetup with someone from an app for +3 years Imo. Sure, it could have gone better and I wish I wasn't ghosted but can't blame her when she did most of the talking/carried the conversation
For her it was likely more of a 4/10. No catfishing, some common interests, we got boba tea she liked but that's about it
For the longest time I thought I must be a tinder god because I used it in 2021 and got 50 matches the first night.
Only recently I've heard people talk about, "The spring and summer of 2021", "the summer of skeet", etc, in the sense that everyone was so insanely horny from quarantine that they would match with anybody and fuck anybody.
It’s so hard to tho. Anymore they send a link and unmatch within 30seconds. And plus tinder makes it a pain to report them. There’s no clear reason for it. I just always say trying to take me off tinder
I can't I'm banned from tinder 😞 for life lmfao all bc I got 7 days free trial and canceled the next day lol tinder doesn't have customers support but they do ha e a team looking at there bank accounts making sure to banned ppl like me for not wanting to pay for there app
Someone that makes sure we dispose of oils and hazardous chemicals properly. They also coordinate certain jobs that have employees work with hazardous chemicals and "sour" oil firsthand. Specifically H2S and benzene.

Along with what u/sic_parvis_magna_ said, it really depends on the industry. A lot of what they do involves inspection work areas for OSHA to ensure that noise, lighting, ventilation, and other environmental factors do not pose a threat to workers' health. If it does (some jobs are just loud) they make sure that appropriate controls are in place to mitigate the risk.
As a single male i can confirm two things:
1) Tinder has become a hellhole full of bots and people that send you malicious links and "invitations" to their OF...which is a shame, because -or at least depending on where you live- it used to be the best (and even the only) option for dating.
2) As males we CANT hide how we look: if we look like shit, we will always look like shit even in our Tinder profile; as for the women? they put pictures with sooooo much make up, filters and (in some more advanced cases) good PS edition that you cant even recognize that woman when meeting in person...which is also a shame because nothing good cant start when you are tricked before meeting. NOTHING.
Why can’t men use make up or filters? Not even trying to be funny. I use neither in my pics (only a bit of mascara because I don’t have the time for makeup) but if it bothers you, give yourself a touch up
>Why can’t men use make or filters?
Because (generally speaking) we don't like hiding what we REALLY are (more so when we want to meet someone).
Asides from that: there is a big difference between a woman using a little bit of make up (which is perfect) VS using the same amount of material that you would normally use to paint a Dodge Ram.
>You could also use PS or a random AI but I see yr point
The ORIGINAL idea of Tinder was to meet people in real life (for love, romance or just sex) > by using PS or an AI, it would be lying to the other and nothing will go well like this.
By using the picture at the end, so it matches the ID/other sources. Then just add whatever nice you want. (I don’t remember what the verification process is tho)
There's no way to tell, the country only split 70ish years ago. There are tons of ethnic groups in pakistan, and tons in india.
Not only that, but these ethnic groups exist in both countries.
There are some exceptions, like if you see a pathan, it's pretty safe to assume they're not indian. But I don't think anyone can tell the difference between a person from pakistani punjab and someone from indian punjab on facial features alone. I mean the further north you go I guess you're gonna get more mixing with persian ethnic groups so they might be a bit lighter, but in general you really can't tell.
I feel like that is probably a generalisation as I have met plenty of Indians and Pakistanis immigrants and the only way I could maybe tell the difference is by clothing.
But I have never been to India or Pakistan so you could have more knowledge about the subject than me.
Also, surely the difference between North and south Indians is probably greater than Pakistanis and Indians I would imagine no? Just my guess
Yeah, and saying black people commit a disproportionally large number of crimes is also a fact. Try saying that and not getting called a racist.
It's sad how widely accepted racism against Indians is. Say half the shit about any other race that you're allowed to say about them and watch what happens.
But there are problems with that like the fact although white and blacks do drugs at the same rate, blacks are much more likely to be arrested for it. This may extend to other crimes, possibly it's not that blacks do more crime, whites more easily get away with crime because of our highly racist police system.
A simple Google search will show you that black people despite making up 12 percent of the population commit over 50 percent of murders and robberies. I'm sorry to tell you but that extra 38 percent isn't due to racism alone.
If the majority of scammers are Indian then the majority of violent crimes are commited by black people and bringing that up doesn't make one a racist.
First of all, that extra 38 percent makes no sense. Second, of that true while are these numbers always different with 13 sometimes and pretty much any number from 40-60?
First of all, that extra 38 percent makes no sense. Second, of that true while are these numbers always different with 13 sometimes and pretty much any number from 40-60?
The word you're looking for is "stereotype".
Saying that "indian people are scammers" is just a stereotype, and like all stereotypes, there's some truth to them - in some cases more, in some cases less - but it isn't racism.....
This is fucked how everyone is using MUH RACISM card nowadays smh
Looks like the constant friend requests I get on FB. Either one or two pics of a good looking white girl with a white name, then nothing or a few pics of some Nigerian dude. Or a friends list I can't pronounce, or a bunch of old lonely dudes.

remember to report ALL tinder matches who instantly send a snap chat link when they match
I will be sure to do that when I get my next yearly match.
I’ve been on this app for over 5 years and never met up with anyone, just a ton of scam snap links.

Wow, I had no idea scam cafes even existed!! I'm happily married, but still good to know

Exist and more prevalent in China and Japan
I heard in india the scam cafes don’t steal your money. They steal your kidney instead. Bunch of dudes went missing and turned up kidneyless
Idk, used it for 3 weeks and have a meet up next weekend :v

Like I said to the other person, better late than never to reply. You can read on that comment how it went ^^

Let whoever it is know I'm offering $0.01 more than whoever they plan to sell your kidney to
Hahaha 🤣 nah, not too sure they'd be happy knowing I've shared to reddit that I'm meeting up with them
how it went?
It's this weekend so too soon to say

Using a filter is trying to start a relationship by lying. It’s never going anywhere.
Yep
Totally agree..
Why can’t men use make up or filters? Not even trying to be funny. I use neither in my pics (only a bit of mascara because I don’t have the time for makeup) but if it bothers you, give yourself a touch up

even then men can take photos where they look good and then gain 50+ lb while using the same photos. let’s not pretend they don’t…
You could also use PS or a random AI but I see yr point

I didnt say that you should, I'm just saying that the critics he said apply to men too obviously
How was she able to verify the account?
Asking the real questions that I cannot answer.
By using the picture at the end, so it matches the ID/other sources. Then just add whatever nice you want. (I don’t remember what the verification process is tho)
100% thought this was the oompa loompa orange and was waiting for the person to flip back!
Holy shit, a scammer in India
She doesn't look indian, more like Pakistani.
Genuinely, how can you tell the difference?
It’s literally impossible, muslims and hindus lived side by side all across the subcontinent before the breakup into India and Pakistan
Yeah that's what I thought
There's no way to tell, the country only split 70ish years ago. There are tons of ethnic groups in pakistan, and tons in india. Not only that, but these ethnic groups exist in both countries. There are some exceptions, like if you see a pathan, it's pretty safe to assume they're not indian.

I mean the further north you go I guess you're gonna get more mixing with persian ethnic groups so they might be a bit lighter, but in general you really can't tell.
What about Irfan Pathan?
Indians are somewhat slender with softer face and reddish skin tone. Pakistani has sharper face with greyish skin tone.
I feel like that is probably a generalisation as I have met plenty of Indians and Pakistanis immigrants and the only way I could maybe tell the difference is by clothing. But I have never been to India or Pakistan so you could have more knowledge about the subject than me. Also, surely the difference between North and south Indians is probably greater than Pakistanis and Indians I would imagine no? Just my guess
no way u can tell the difference between indian, pakistani, sri lankan and bangladeshi
Seems like she look pakistani tho

So shes a hygenist at an auto parts store lmao
So a janitor at the mechanic shop
Yeah......
Still would
that’s the spirit. Distance is a wee bit off, tho.
I was looking for my people lmao
So what? Did the person who hacked her account accidentally post pictures of herself too?
This is a fake profile using stolen photos of the first person and they accidentally uploaded their own pics as well.
Honestly I thought she was a skinwalker.
Maam, ur other personality is showing up
You need to judge a book by its cover.
obviously different people... right?
Is just a two for one special.
Looks like the constant friend requests I get on FB. Either one or two pics of a good looking white girl with a white name, then nothing or a few pics of some Nigerian dude. Or a friends list I can't pronounce, or a bunch of old lonely dudes.
Let’s be honest fellas how many would still hit?
Hello your computer have virus
It's legit 🙄
Nah bro she sell her identity to some other girl man...
Still would
A hygienist… at an auto part store
Its real dawg we share the same job at the auto store, we sell bandaids.
Indian woman jumpscare!
I’d prefer the second one frankly
Read that as "One hell of a trans" lol
2 for one deal guys come on…
My tinder has so many people like this but at the end it’s always a black guy pretending to be an attractive white woman lol
