Article: Some profiles will direct you to click on a link. Beware of any profiles that say, for example, “if you want to learn more about me” or “check out my website.” If the URL looks shortened, it most likely leads to a scam site. While some profiles may offer legitimate links, never click on a link if you feel unsure. Profiles with one photo, especially when accompanying bios devoid of key details such as occupation and education, are red flags. Also avoid profiles that depend on professional-looking photos, photos that look edited, or photos of celebrities. Skip profiles that confuse you with many photos of different people. Finally, always pass on profiles that try to lure you with scantily-clad, perfect-looking bodies.  For example, many spam bots rely on women in suggestive poses wearing bikinis or underwear. Male-themed profiles may show shirtless men with well-chiseled abs. Scammers are refining their bots, so a spam profile may hide behind an image of a cute girl or boy you’d find next door. If the person looks like a model, it’s probably too good to be true. Tinder’s algorithm attempts to match you with people nearby based on friends and interests you have added to Facebook. When you get matched with a profile that shares nothing in common with you, it is likely a spam bot that didn’t add interests to Facebook.
What is a summary of what this article is about?
Avoid profiles with weird links in the biographies. Watch out for profiles with one photo or glamor shots. Check to see if you have friends and interests in common.
