很早以前我就很怀疑了,最近看好些帖子都在说match到的人奇怪或是不靠谱,上网一搜果然用假profile和chat bot是很普遍的。建议大家早点识别这种profile,避免浪费时间。

Identifying a dating-app bot
Their photos look "too" perfect. “To get you to swipe right, scammers use professional profile pictures, usually stolen either from other users or random models from Google search,” explains Gonzalez.
If users feel something is off about a profile's photos, they can perform a quick reverse image search on Google Images. Go to the Google images website, click on the camera icon, upload a photo or a screenshot (if on your phone) and they can see where else on the web that photo has been used.
Their bio section looks fishy – no, not the actual men holding fish in the pictures. Users might want to take a closer look at profiles with lots of grammar mistakes, inspirational quotes, invitations to click on links or empty bios.
Zavala, who lives in Washington, D.C., notes that the bots have gotten better over time. "In the past, what has tipped me are pictures and a lack of a bio. However, recently some bot profiles are a bit harder to tell due to them including more than one picture or having a somewhat relatable bio," he says.
The profile responds immediately or looks to move the conversation.If you get your first message instantly after matching with someone or they look to move the conversation to a different application, it might be a bot.
"If there's a match, it can go one of two ways. No reply at all, or a series of what seems scripted messages. Mostly, leading you to join another platform to chat on. WeChat, Line, these are most common in Asia," Hart, 40, explains. "The chats I have had seem to have some strange responses. I would ask a question like this: 'Given the choice of anyone in the world, who would you want to look up on the internet? Why?' It’s never answered properly."
The situations seem to repeat themselves, regardless of continent, as Connor Lowe of Pittsburgh confirms: "It's fairly easy to recognize a bot (for the most part). Replies will be super generic, because of course, it's a computer program someone has written."
Bots cannot maintain naturally flowing conversations, so their responses might be completely unrelated to your questions. "The best thing to do is ask specific questions if you are suspicious," says Connor, 24.
The profile isn’t linked to other social accounts. Scammers usually don’t bother with establishing an authentic-looking social background for a fake profile.
"I have used Tinder on and off for a few years now. It’s never been successful for me. I guess it’s more like entertainment now, like a slot machine. Like all slot machines, it’s designed to be rigged," Hart says of his experience. "Now it’s like a challenge of engagement and conversation."
