The Problem

Dating service operators must keep fake identities, synthetic photos, bots, and repeat scammers out of their member pools. Existing face checks can fail legitimate users while sophisticated fraudulent profiles still pass, damaging trust and increasing disputes, refunds, and member churn.

Potential Solution

Provide a managed screening operation that verifies identity, checks profile-photo consistency, flags suspicious behavior, and routes uncertain cases to trained human reviewers. Begin as a per-member service for matchmakers and curated dating communities, then productize repeatable checks and case-management tools as volume grows.

Why Now?

AI-generated profile media makes visual deception cheaper, while repeated complaints across major dating platforms show that users do not trust automated verification alone. Smaller dating operators can compete on trust but often cannot staff an internal fraud team.

Match Dating App : Chat & Meet

Too many fake profiles If you swipe left on someone, they shouldn’t show up again as an option. You could have a “no”, a “yes”, and a maybe-that can add that person back to the end of the line. You could also give a way for users to flag the profiles that appear to be fake! Your “verify identity” might need to be reviewed.

CDFF: Christian Dating App

No bueno Honestly it’s a scam. It’s like someone who knows just enough about Christianity to rip them off made a dating app. They try to charge you a lot of money upfront (glad I didn’t). It’s literally called Christian dating for free lol. Then there was 0 people in 25 miles of me in Portland. That’s a big place for 0 people lol. Anyway some of the reviews looked genuine but you never know could all be paid.

DateMyAge™ - Mature Dating 40+

A scam to get you to buy more credits Initially, I really liked the way that allowed me to search for people however I encountered several profiles who were verified who kept attempting to keep me on the app, using voice notes and emails and photographs, items that cost credits to open and read which forced me to spend hundreds of dollars in a very short amount of time. They would refuse to get off the app which leads me to believe that these are people who are either being paid to get you to stay buying credits on the app.. All in all, it was a very disheartening experience.
