George Zimmerman is once again looking for love online – but the disgraced neighborhood watchman will need to keep searching elsewhere after his fake Tinder profile was removed from the dating app.
show that Zimmerman, 35, was trying to snag dates by billing himself as a self-employed consultant and a graduate of Virginia’s Liberty University named Carter just looking for “carefree fun” some six years after being acquitted of all charges in the slaying of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
“I love the outdoors, fishing, camping and hiking,” according to the profile, which has since been removed. “I love adventure [but] not into huge crowds. I’m also down for a quiet night with Longhorn [Steakhouse] take out.”
Zimmerman appeared in one photo smiling wide and was shown in a cap and gown in another picture. He’s also seen topless in another shot while holding a phone, exposing a tattoo near his heart, according to the screengrabs.
A Tinder spokesperson confirmed to The Post Thursday that the bogus profile had been removed.
“At Tinder, we take our users’ safety very seriously and our team has removed this profile from our platform,” the statement read. “We utilize a network of industry-leading automated and manual moderation and review tools, systems and processes — and spend millions of dollars annually — to prevent, monitor and remove bad actors who have violated our Community Guidelines and Terms of Use from our app.”
Those tools include automatic scans of profiles, manual reviews of suspicious profiles and user-generated reports, according to the popular dating app.
It’s the latest public embarrassment for Zimmerman, who was ousted by dating app Bumble in February after he was found trolling for dates. It marked the second time he was removed from the app since December, a spokesperson told The Post.
“We have blocked and banned him again after we were informed by our users that he had created a new unverified profile,” a Bumble spokesperson said in February.
