The "Chloe, 1.4 km away" emailSPAM LURE
A real scam people fell for this year, next to the real thing. The numbers mark the three things to check: hover or tap one to see what it tells you.
Hi Sam,
Someone liked your photo on Hinge. Open the app to see who it is and decide if you want to match.
You can change which emails you get in Settings in the Hinge app.
Hey you 😘 I'm Chloe, 24, and I'm just 1.4 km from you. Lonely women in your area are online right now and want to meet tonight.
My private photos are waiting for you. Message me before I go offline.
You are receiving this email because you joined one of our partner sites.
Always check the stranger.
A stranger "nearby" who found you, writing from a throwaway site, with photos waiting behind a link. There is no Chloe: the link leads to paid chat sites, subscription traps or worse.
hello@hinge.co is the dating app you signed up for.
chloe.x@meetnearby-local.click is a stranger on a throwaway site.
Open the Hinge app if you want to see who liked you.
Click a link to see her "private photos".
No rush.
"Before I go offline", and she's only 1.4 km away.
RememberA stranger who "lives nearby" and emails you first is never real. Delete it, never click.
