FWIW I've come across a ton of fake Chinese accounts (in the appearance of the woman in the photos). It got to the point that I just didnt swipe on women who appeared Chinese. like 19/20 times they'd just try and get me off app to WhatsApp in the first few messages, and then the thread would go dead.
I can't help but think it's a form of social engineering where they're creating a drag net of data like "This phone number is on Hinge, and responds to warranty texts, and their IG suggests they've lived in <places>" ... I'm not sure to what end but I'm wary.
> Paulbot was never removed from Hinge, because he preemptively deleted his account. I’ve canceled my subscription.
This simply could be the aim here. Nefarious actors win by eroding trust, or competitors.
