Warning: Tinder scam impersonating Mathias Ruch

We have been made aware of multiple reports from women, mainly in Ireland, who have been contacted by a scammer impersonating Mathias Ruch.

The person behind this scam appears to be using Mathias Ruch’s public identity and reputation to build trust, create the impression of a personal relationship, and later introduce fraudulent financial activity. In some cases, women have reported being offered so-called “shares” in the company as part of the deception.

This is a scam.

If you have been contacted by someone claiming to be Mathias Ruch through Tinder or another dating platform, please be extremely cautious. The real Mathias Ruch does not use Tinder or any other online dating platforms and would never make financial requests through unofficial channels.

How the scam works

Based on the reports we have received, the scammer may:

  • Use Mathias Ruch’s name, photos, job title, and public profile details
  • Approach women through Tinder or other social or messaging platforms
  • Build trust over time through personal conversations
  • Create the impression of a romantic or emotional connection
  • Introduce financial opportunities, investment requests, or fraudulent transactions
  • Offer fake “shares” in the company or make other false claims tied to the business

These claims are false and unauthorized.

Important warning signs

You may be dealing with an impersonator if the person:

  • Claims to be Mathias Ruch and contacts you through Tinder or a dating app
  • Claims they can gift or transfer company shares informally through private conversation
  • Avoids proper verification or refuses a legitimate identity check
  • Creates urgency, secrecy, or emotional pressure

If any of the above has happened, do not send money, personal documents, banking information, crypto, or account details.

What to know

Mathias Ruch does not use dating apps and does not have private romantic conversations through online platforms.

He does not gift company shares through personal chats, dating platforms, or informal messages.

Any message, proposal, or request of this kind should be treated as fraudulent unless independently verified through official company channels.

How to protect yourself

If you believe you have been contacted by this scammer:

  • Stop communicating with the person immediately
  • Do not send money, crypto, identification documents, or financial information
  • Take screenshots of the profile, messages, phone numbers, email addresses, and any payment requests
  • Report the account to Tinder or the platform where the contact took place
  • Report the incident to your local law enforcement or fraud reporting authority
  • Contact us through our official channels so we can document the case

How to verify whether contact is genuine

If someone claims to be Mathias Ruch and you are unsure whether the contact is real, only rely on verification through official company channels. Do not rely on screenshots, profile photos, messaging apps, or verbal assurances as proof of identity. Still not sure? Please send us an email at hello@cvvc.com so we can verify the contact for you.
