However, the report claims that the 'overwhelming majority' of Tinder spam is now fake prostitution profiles: images of women with overlaid text giving details of services and rates, as well as website addresses. The second type of Tinder spammer is also a bot, but this time one that tries to direct people to mobile games and adult websites.Ī campaign to drive downloads of a game called Castle Clash was exposed by technology site TechCrunch in April, but Symantec says the script behind it has since been repurposed to promote a website called Slut Roulette.

The report suggests that adult webcam spammers continue to operate on Tinder: bots that engage people in conversation, then try to persuade them to click on links to webcam sites.
