Report them. If you haven't already, report the scammer or any suspicious activity to us. Reporting helps stop them from targeting someone else, and it's always anonymous. Here's how to report a bagel.
Contact your bank. If you've sent money to a scammer or a fraudulent website, ask your bank if they can reverse or hold the transaction, and whether they have a fraud protection policy.
Alert your local police and financial regulators. What happened to you is a crime. Reporting it helps you and protects others. If it happened through Coffee Meets Bagel and you file a police report, officers can contact dpo@coffeemeetsbagel.app and we'll do our best to help with the investigation.
Report it to your cryptocurrency exchange. If you sent money through cryptocurrency, note the scammer's wallet addresses and share them with your exchange and local authorities.
Protect your personal data. If you shared documents like your passport or driver's license, replace them right away. Watch out for spam messages or calls, and don't click unknown links or answer unexpected calls.
Keep a record of everything. Take screenshots of the scammer's profile, any websites they sent you to, chat logs, transaction IDs, and transfer receipts.
Scammers are opportunists. You joined a dating app hoping to find your person, and they take advantage of that. Please don't be hard on yourself. Putting yourself out there is brave.
