How to proceed?? (Tinder fraud?)
Ok guys, I'm in a sticky situation here. I recently committed to an IBD SA position at a BB firm and have been going on LinkedIn to look for people in my top choice group to chat with.
Well what do you know? There happens to be an analyst in my top choice division who I matched with on tinder around 10 months ago, only his name and location are completely different(I matched with him outside of NYC). I ended up going cold on him originally because he was beginning to get too creepy/ persistent with the messages. But after seeing this profile with a different name, I went to check the Tinder profile again and it still says he's in that other location (far away from NY) even though his LinkedIn shows that he's a first year analyst based in NYC.
Upon seeing this, I searched up this guy (his LinkedIn name) on Facebook and we actually have a couple of mutual friends (also, no mutual friends showed up under connections on tinder profile). This leads me to now:
1) How do I best approach this guy with the news that someone is stealing his info online to make profiles? (Assuming it is a case of fraud, otherwise that would be even more awkward). The thing about Facebook is now privacy settings make it so if you're not friends already, your PM goes into a different filtered box which most people don't look at.
2) How do I do this professionally? Obviously I don't want him to write me off as weird before group placement/ the summer even begins. Even if he doesn't, I really don't want him to think that I have the hots for him or anything.
I would've made an anonymous email to message him, but I don't know his private email and I don't want to spam his professional BB email.
I mean you could try to contact him via fb or linkedin to let him know someone is using his pictures to make a tinder profile, but what if it is really this guy? That's pretty awkward and would set your professional relationship off on the wrong foot. If it were me I would just leave it be and pretend it never happened, the tinder match will be well over a year old by the time you start so hopefully he forgot and you should play it off the same as well. If it comes up just say oh yeah I deleted tinder awhile ago. Wouldn't want to open that can of worms
Chill the fuck out and do nothing. Why does telling him matter so much to you anyway? You seem extremely clingy and unstable.
I would unmatch and never bring it up. If he brings it up say you don't know what he's talking about
DO LESS
I was really hoping this thread was from Fear The Bulge
this
You are the best. SB'd you
Some of these trolling angles are just getting weird.
Or you know, you could just ignore it. Honestly, who cares.
Obviously you should renege on the offer lest you suffer permanent embarrassment.
Let's not miss the forest for the trees here....
based on my understanding of Tinder, you need to ask yourself if you want colleagues knowing you are on Tinder
What's wrong with Tinder? 2016 got a reboot
tinder in a nutshell
"swipe right for sex, left to see if you want to have sex with the next person."

Letting your coworkers know you're an active tinder user is pretty helpful. It lets them know you have a higher chance than the general population of being infected with a STD. That's a neat thing to throw out there to break the ice.
Hahahaha
I was hoping for some blackmail and juicy details. Guess FTB's threads are affecting my expectations...
