Liptzin said the scam accounts have sprung up so frequently that taking the time to get them removed is a waste of time. “We encourage our users to report improper or illegal behavior either within the app or directly via email… and to report criminal allegations to local authorities.” “Grindr takes the privacy and safety of our users extremely seriously,” the spokesperson said in an email. A Grindr spokesperson asked for screenshots of the fake account so it could investigate and confirmed the platform had banned all of the accounts using Liptzin’s photos, including the one in question.
