Can you spot a fake profile?

Scam-proof

You know the patterns: rushed feelings, pressure to move off the app, excuses about calls and any mention of money. Keep trusting those instincts — and report fakes so they can’t reach the next person.

Mostly sharp

You spot the obvious signs but give the benefit of the doubt a little too often. A reverse image search and a short video call before you trust anyone go a long way.

Easy to charm

Scammers count on kindness and good manners. Slow down: keep chats in the app, question stories that don’t add up, and treat any request for money as the end of the conversation.

A scammer’s dream match

Several of your answers are exactly what fake profiles hope for. The rule that protects you most is simple: never send money to someone you met on a dating app, however real they seem. If you already have, call your bank and report it on 1930 or at cybercrime.gov.in.
