Report to Tinder

Last updated September 18, 2026

The short answer

Report a Tinder profile from the profile itself, confidentially

Tinder asks you to report anyone who asks you for money, immediately. Reports are confidential and the person is never told who filed one. The pattern to know is the match who is always somewhere else and can never video call.

What they handle

  • Matches asking for money for any reason
  • Profiles impersonating a real person
  • Crypto and investment pitches from matches
  • Sextortion and threats to share images

How to file a report

  1. 1

    Report from the profile

    Tap the three dots and select Report, or use the report button at the bottom of any profile in Discovery or your match list.

  2. 2

    Pick the right reason and add detail

    The reason you choose routes the report to the right team. The more detail you add, the faster Tinder can investigate the profile or person.

  3. 3

    Report any request for money straight away

    Tinder says to report it immediately if another user asks you for money. That is the line, whatever the story attached to it.

  4. 4

    Treat the refusal to video call as the signal

    Tinder names this directly. Someone who will not meet in person or talk on a phone or video call may not be who they say they are.

What you'll need

  • Screenshots of the conversation, taken before you unmatch
  • The name and photos on the profile
  • Any payment or wallet address you sent to

What to expect

Reports are confidential. The reported person may get a generic notice that their account is being reviewed, but never who reported them or what was said.

Frequently asked questions

They say they are from my country but stuck abroad and need money to get home. Is that a real situation?

It is one of the patterns Tinder names outright. The story exists to explain why you cannot meet and why money is needed. Report it rather than sending anything.
