I had a friend who was visiting Florida, and this vigilante group from some church setup a Grindr account to catch gay men. They made a profile of a guy in his 20s, had convos and planned to meet, then asked him to talk on some other platform, where his profile said he was underage. Keep in mind, this is just a fictional person. And the Florida court loves to toss LGBT in jail, so beware out there.
Solution bait the baiters
Practical solution, abandon all social interactions with strangers
I'm way ahead of you in my basement of solitude.
Sounds nice and cozy
You can use that against them, say they are in the church right now
