Rejected petition Want to make it mandatory for dating sites to verify users to stop fake profiles

I personally have been catfished and attempted to be scammed by fake profiles created on dating sites. The problem is massive and devastating for not only the victim but the person whose details are stolen and used. It needs to stop and make it harder for these fakes to create these profiles.
