Actor denies Tinder scam
According to the interpreter of “Pit Bitoca” he did not fall into the trap “Tinder Fraud”. Martins said he went to a find marked with a woman but said he never saw her as he had been kidnapped before.
“There was nothing big. There was no Tinder scam. They create things in their minds. I went to São José dos Campos to meet a girl from Tinder. Then I got caught there and in the end I didn’t even meet the girl that was it. […] I met a girl on Tinder but it’s not a scam, “I fell for the scam”. I don’t know either…” he says.
