Tinder Is Not Without Flaws

HUFFINGTON POST - July 11 - Cybersecurity company Symantec had come across fake Tinder profiles, which spam people and direct them to an apparent porn site designed to take their money. On Tinder you fill out a simple profile and post a few photos of yourself. You are then presented with strangers' profiles one by one and you can swipe the person's profile left to essentially "pass" on them and right to "like" them. If both people "like" one another they are connected through an in-app chat feature. Tinder doesn't currently have any way to report spam in the app. "We are aware of the spammers and have already taken precautions to prevent them from bothering our users," said Tinder spokesperson. People are likely less skeptical of profiles they see on Tinder, since most of the information on someone's profile (name, photos, etc.) come directly from Facebook. In order to make a fake Tinder profile, one first has to make a fake Facebook profile with a fake name and fake photos.
