UK dating fraud up 40%
Action Fraud, the UK’s Cyber Crime Prevention Center, received 40% more complaints in 2021 compared to past years of quarantine. Cases of online fraud on dating sites have increased. It is possible that statistics do not fully reflect the extent of manipulation in romantic relationships.
The situation is complicated by the fact that in the conditions of quarantine, the possibilities of personal meetings are limited, which makes it less likely that fraudsters will be exposed. In self-isolation, people often turn to social networks and dating platforms in search of communication, and the number of potential victims increases accordingly.
The crime caused £73.9 million in damage. Each victim lost an average of £9,500.
Tinder provides professional psychological support to users

Users get access to two free sessions with a psychologist, resources with meditation music, trainings and practices. Communication with specialists is available in eight languages. Discounts are provided for paid services, the privacy policy is strictly observed.
