the root cause for all these ongoing scam, blackmail, lure-and-bash, etc is the criminal’s understanding around how to take advantage of someone being gay and being unable to fully express who they are in our society. education needs to continue to make society more open and gay friendly (not on the outside but deep down and totally). In other words, the fear factor and the fear instigated the dating/the hook-up under wraps need to be tackled in the first place.

App certainly has room for improvement, but decision of doing whatever comes from an individual. It is important for everyone who is using app or anything to come up with safety plan or strategies just in case things go wrong or unexpected. Going to a parkland very late and in the darkness to meet a stranger (someone you hardly know in real life) wouldn’t be high on my agenda. Common sense in terms of safety is the key in other words.

You have to be suspicious of some people on the internet, they are full of hatred and violence, probably closeted bisexuals or homosexuals…living in australia or overseas…possibly from a family of haters…religious or non religious

Thanks for the fear mongering about Grindr, but sadly these type of attacks have been taking place forever, including during the peak of gay bar culture. Grindr is just the latest method of luring the victims. People are dangerous not an internet app. Vigilance!

Grindr is dangerous. I understand we’re living in a new era where this will probably keep going on, in some ways I guess it is still like the beats of the previous centuries, but you always need to be vigilant. This is one of the saddest things about the decline of gay bars. I have used Grindr before and had some good experiences but I have overall found it to be a negative app and I won’t be installing it again. I wish I could just meet a nice guy “normally”.
