In recent years, Colombia has seen a noticeable increase in crimes associated with dating apps like Tinder. While these platforms have revolutionized the way people meet and connect, they have also inadvertently become tools for criminal activities, raising alarms among authorities and citizens alike.

The most common Tinder-related crimes in Colombia include scams, extortion, sexual assault, and even kidnapping. Perpetrators often exploit the anonymity and reach of the platform to target unsuspecting users. Scammers typically create fake profiles to deceive victims into sharing personal information or sending money. In some cases, offenders manipulate emotional connections to extort money or sensitive data.

Several high-profile cases have highlighted the dangers of using Tinder irresponsibly. For example, in Bogotá and Medellín, We had and are represented individuals being robbed or assaulted after arranging meetings through the app. Law enforcement agencies have also identified patterns where criminal groups use Tinder to lure victims for kidnapping or to facilitate drug trafficking operations.

Authorities in Colombia are increasingly aware of these risks and are implementing measures to combat Tinder-related crimes. These include public awareness campaigns advising users to exercise caution, verify profiles, and meet in public places. Additionally, law enforcement agencies are collaborating with cybersecurity experts to track and apprehend offenders.
