Picture this: a stranger claims to have grabbed your Tinder chats and threatens to post them unless you pay up. Such extortion attempts often masquerade as harassment, leveraging fear to extract cash. Never share personal or banking details over the phone, and avoid sending money to unverified accounts. Block the number and report it to your mobile carrier and local fraud bureau. Keep screenshots of any messages, as they can aid investigations. Consider enabling two‑factor authentication on your dating profiles and regularly update passwords. If you suspect identity theft, monitor credit reports and alert the platforms involved.
