Perth woman says Tinder date robbed and abandoned her, then shared footage in group chat

A 23-year-old Perth woman says she was robbed, dumped on the side of a road and later humiliated when her alleged Tinder date filmed and shared footage of the incident in a group chat.

The woman, who gave her first name as Georgia, told the Daily Mail she matched with a 28-year-old man on the dating app and agreed to meet for a drink at the Gage Roads Brewery in Fremantle. She said the pair left together in his car but, minutes later, he pulled over, told her there was a fault with the lights and asked her to step out and check.

Georgia said the man then drove off, leaving her without most of her belongings. She told the Daily Mail he later threw her phone and keys out of the car but kept other items. "I was stranded. I thought I had no keys, no phone, none of my stuff," she said. "I got robbed. It could have been way worse. Luckily I didn't, but it was still terrifying."

She described the encounter as humiliating and said the man later contacted her to beg her to remove videos she had posted about the episode on TikTok in exchange for an apology and the return of her possessions. Georgia said she does not believe he is sincere after discovering he filmed the moment he left her and shared the clip to a group chat where others laughed, according to her account.

After Georgia posted about the incident on social media, other women replied saying they had received Tinder messages from the same man. One woman told her she had been on a date with the man earlier the same night, and another said she had a date scheduled with him later that evening, Georgia said. "I think his main goal is to rob women," she warned in the Daily Mail interview. "Girls of Perth, please stay safe out there. Learn from my mistakes. I don't want anyone else to go through what I did."

The social-media posts prompted supportive messages from users who called the episode "cruel" and expressed sympathy. Georgia also said she was targeted by online trolls who suggested the man fled for reasons related to her appearance; she rejected that interpretation, saying the behaviour was not about how she looked.

Georgia told the Daily Mail the man had texted and called her during planning for the meeting and had urged her to "wear something pretty," and that he complimented her when he arrived. During the drive, she said, he messaged friends saying, "This girl's not going to kidnap me," which she took as joking at the time.

The account has not been independently verified by police or other authorities in publicly available reports. Georgia has used her social-media posts to warn others arranging meetups through dating apps to take precautions. She said multiple women who saw her TikTok came forward to say they had been contacted by the same man.

No public comment from the man named in Georgia's account was provided to media outlets covering the story. The extent of any police inquiry, whether reports were made to police or whether any criminal charges have been filed, was not detailed in the information she gave to the Daily Mail or in her social-media posts.

Georgia said the experience left her shaken and urged people using dating apps to be vigilant when meeting strangers, to share plans and locations with friends, and to consider meeting in public places and arranging independent transport. She said she does not want others to experience what she called the "terrifying" ordeal and that she is speaking out in the hope of preventing similar incidents.
