Read the complaints filed with the FTC about Grindr, obtained by Gizmodo through a FOIA request.
Technology has pushed the world of dating into our phones, those same devices that allow us to take photos and videos we may not want the rest of the world to see. And that tectonic shift in culture has made it much easier to run anonymous extortion scams, where people threaten to reveal your private photos to friends, family, and employers if you don’t send the scammers money.
I begged and pleaded for them not to do this. I told them I didn’t have much money and I was feeling very ill. They told me I had to send another $500 that night or else. With their instructions, I purchased $500 in Razor Gold gift cards on Amazon.com. I waited up to receive the codes, but they were never emailed by Amazon. The scammers told me to send the codes in the morning.
