Regardless of what the Tinder member might reply, the bot “attacks” and sends them a link that has an address that begins with “www.tinderverified.com/”. This is a trick used to make the URL appear true.
After a while, the bot gets bored and decides to end the conversation by saying “play with me a bit and you just might get a phone number”.
A man from North Carolina, David Short, told BBC that he has been one of the bots’ targets for a while. He added the fact that this makes him question if the girls he finds attractive are actually real or are just other bots.
He also said that he is a veteran Tinder user, but he might stop using the app on a regular basis if he keeps being targeted by these bots.
