Dozens of men arrived at Union Square in New York City this past weekend in order to go on a Tinder date with a girl named Natasha.

However, their plans quickly took a turn when Natasha herself stood up on stage and announced that she wanted all the men to participate in a live Tinder competition.

Nicholas, one of Natasha’s Tinder matches, told Gothamist that while most men chose not to participate, there were some who followed her demands and even subjected themselves to, “a live swipe line.”

On Sunday afternoon, dozens of men showed up to Union Square in New York City, all under the impression that they were going on a date with a girl named Natasha that they met on Tinder. But Natasha had other plans in mind.

According to a Twitter thread created by user @bvdhai, Natasha tricked all the men into meeting her at Union Square. She set up a stage and soundsystem, and revealed she wanted her suitors to participate in a live Tinder competition.

Suddenly everything started to click, and the men began to realize that they all received the same messages from Natasha and were tricked into showing up for her “competition.” Needless to say, the men were pretty pissed.

However, despite being completely played by Natasha some of the men chose to stay and actually participate. One of the duped dates, Nicholas, told Gothamist that Natasha had the men do push ups and run.

“She did a live swipe line, right and left,” Nicholas told Gothamist.

While a stunt like this doesn’t make for a great first impression, some gave Natasha props for pulling such a bold move.

You have to admit, it's kind of impressive.

One person even pointed out that Natasha would have had to fill out a permit and rent all the equipment just to make this possible. If that doesn’t scream dedication I don’t know what does.

While New York City is no stranger to scammers, this may go down as one of the greatest dating scams of the century.
