Dating apps are facing increased scrutiny from police following a rise in digital crimes, including online grooming, data theft, and financial fraud. Confidential complaints to the State's high-tech crime inquiry cell highlight risks associated with unverified apps, particularly for minors. Concerns include the potential for sexual exploitation and the compromise of sensitive banking and personal information. Investigations are ongoing, with authorities looking into the untraceable operators of these platforms, some of which are promoted via social media and celebrity endorsements.
