Tinder just announced this week it will require the new background checks for users, but we’re told the programme has been in the works for some time. A spoke person from Tinder has told in a report that the criminal background check feature was something users is been demanding. for a while.
They say the company teamed up with non-profit organisation Garbo back in 2020 to create a system that works for all the users. The rep points out this partnership started well before the documentary debuted this year on Netflix.
The process brings up offences that are prevalent to safety, and that includes financial crimes. They tell us it’s a great way for women to get a deeper look into their matches. Since the documentary dropped, Simon the ‘Swindler’ has had quite ups and downs. He got banned from most dating apps, allegedly earned $30K on Cameo, and got a criminal court complaint filed against his from the wealthy family to which he claimed to belong.
