If you like constantly getting messages from fake accounts, I'm talking 30-40 times a day, then you'll love grindr. For every real person that contacts you, there will be 99 that are fake. How do I know they are fake? They use the same "Hello handsome, where are you from? I'm Billy, from Chicago, looking for a life long relationship" script every time they contact you. I can tell within 2 or 3 sentences that the account is fake. Grindr just says report and block them, but this had gotten 100 times worse in the last six months.

You can report people for no good reason Just cause you don't like someone even if they did noting to you & did noting wrong you can make some fake story up then they just block your account NO questions asked or proof is requested or required they don't even check the chat history they will Falsely accuse you of stuff without having any proof to support their accusations court of Law says your word isn't enough you need real proof

I'm so disappointed with Grinder app,,,, I've stated many times in detail concerning imposters with a false army story and images making contact with me,,,, then all those guys who wish you to log in with a credit card for security purposes before we meet,,,,, it's all smoke and mirrors,,, I'm sure I'm not the only man experiencing false profiles with bad intentions,,,. I've laid out a complaint with no response,,,,,, this app does not insure honourable men!

My account got banned from Grindr after an accusation of being harassing or bullying people without any proof, since there is none because I didn't harass or bully anybody. I have being a paying member for years and after contacting the support team they deny to provide me evidence and refer to their terms and conditions:

Please review our Terms of Service, under section "Our Refusal Or Suspension Of Your Service":
11.3 Grindr reserves the right to refuse or suspend access to any user, for any reason or no reason, and without any notice.

11.4 Grindr may terminate any User Account You have with the Grindr Services or Your use of the Grindr Services or any portion thereof, if Grindr believes that you have breached this Agreement, or for any other reason, in its sole discretion.

Grindr is a scam app to steal your money they will take your money then refuse to refund it they think an account you paid for is still there's they will take all your money then block your account for no reason then make some FAKE story up they wont send any proof they expect you to believe what their saying then they will hide behind their rules your paying for an account your not even using and they say NO refunds and the account is blocked permanently so your paying for an account they blocked or no reason they won't unblock it or give you a refund

Grindr, banned my account and would not refund my remaining 11 months subscriptions. The reason was because they said my photo was posted against their guidelines. However, all photos that are posted on any Grindr account is approved by Grindr staff before being posted. One would think the photos meets the guidelines if the staff approved it? Grindr did not ask me to remove the photo that the staff approved. Grindr did not provided a warning or remove the photo. Grindr just banned my account and took the money for services not provided. In fact, I only got one month of service for 12 months paid. When asked about the remaining 11 months they said sorry. This is not an honest way to operate a business and I encourage everyone to stay away from Grindr. In fact, run away from this Business... run, run, run. Clearly dishonest.

All of their annoying advertising has been related to gambling. Their advertising on gambling is imposed on the use with poo ups that cannot be deleted. Their web site won't function at all if BlockAd is installed. All in all a very manipulative and deceptive web site

This app discriminates against it's Transgender users and is of poor taste. They prohibit transwomen from wearing bathing suits even at the beach or anything close to showing skin but every other profile is of gay men in nothing but underwear or thongs. It's full of scammers and Gay men message guys that clearly have ONLY TS in their profiles dogging out an degrading transwomen in hopes for a 2 minute hook up. It's pretty clear that they have no Transgender moderators.

The reason why I am reviewing Grindr is that many people use dating apps for social, dating potentials, and hookups. I believe people need to be aware and not have a false sense of security.
I have had a paid membership with Grindr before and it was okay, I do think there is way too much potential scams of new members that seem to have a very dated pic (90"s) and misinformation about their stats. The pic doesn't seem to match with the person's weight or age. It seems obvious it's probably "Bots"(robots). People (fake) constantly ask for my phone to text and comment how attractive I am even though I have no pic only one with the beach or nature. I do like my privacy. Many METH addicts are on there trying to get me to buy them drugs which I immediately block.
Also, a lot of guys with roses (meaning hustlers/prostitution). The potential crime seems to be when someone immediately asks what my job is? Or if I am alone (not necessarily a crime but, when it's immediate it's noticeable).
I stopped alerting Grindr about the scams because it has gotten out of hand (too numerous to count).
Though it seems to have gotten better in my area (60 miles from a major city) when googling Murders and assaults on Grindr alone it's very alarming. I am sure they are working on this but, it seems to be mostly on Grindr and not so much on some of the other apps.
I am reviewing this so people don't naively give too much information to someone they don't know.
Be aware and act accordingly.: :)

I did contact them, they replied with a canned boiler plate, yet had ZERO proof of anything. They will happily take your money. I paid for a year and got banned after 3 months? BTW As a data analyst I took note of over 300 replies, into which only 3 turned into anything, and of those 3 only 1 finally turned into something worthwhile. Yet the site on a daily basis has people on there for "roses" in the form of venmo, paypal or some other cash app. Also people sending you to websites for ID check, I got scammed for 40 bucks, but my CC removed the charge. Or websites in general for cams and videos shows. All I wanted to so was have some fun.

I got banned from site, when contacted the customer support, a canned mail was sent staying i bullied, harassed and was racist. Idiots that's too much to say about a individual. I felt disturbed as that is not my nature.

When asked for chat transcript I was told sorry to let you go, we can't provide. After that my numerous mails remain unanswered. They treat LGBT customers as sex starved people and don't have basic customers support ethics.

The largest LGBT dating site is riddled with auto boi. Spam. Commercial. Massage. Escort guys... drug peddlers. Who recreate new account withIn seconds of ban. And they recreate it every time. It's appalling to know how easily the security can be compromised.

All I did was reporting of commerce guys and why a pic of me in vest and shorts sitting on couch is sexual suggestive, while the site is filled with guys in underwear in bedroom with their private parts outlining. And the next thing insee I banned message from grindr.

The so called largest LGBT site is serious security concern, no uniformity in moderating the pics. Have no control on spammers, prostitutes, drug peddlers who easy recreate account numerous times.

The customer support is non existent. They treat LGBT community as pieces of $#*! and sex starved pathetic human beings. The customer support lacks customer focus, customers who report gets banned.

I was a paying member for a year and played by the rules. Therefore I renewed my membership for a second year. Halfway through my membership, I received a notice that my account was banned. No explanation, no reasoning, no help. Arguing and pressing was futile. Grindr hid behind policy stating they protect their customers, yet leaving me to feel like a predator. Which I can assure you, I'm far from it. I'm certain I'm the victim of identity theft or some strange circumstance of falsification. Nonetheless, Grindr stated that when you're banned, you forfeit your membership fees. No reimbursement or pro rated refund. I'm not saying don't give Grindr a try. But if you're considering a paid membership, go with monthly or 6 months. In case you're wrongfully banned, you won't forfeit a whole year's membership.
