A. To mitigate the impact of fake profiles, users should be vigilant when interacting with new matches. Look for signs of authenticity such as detailed profiles, multiple photos, and engaging conversation. If a profile seems suspicious, do not hesitate to unmatch and report it.

B. Consider using a secondary verification method, such as asking the other person to share a specific photo or perform a video call. This can help confirm their identity before investing time in the conversation.
