Warning to be cautious about money requests and investment pitches
Tinder tells users that sharing bank account numbers or an email password is always a bad idea, and to be cautious if someone asks them to send money or tries to get them to make an investment, because it is probably a scam. This is phrased as advice and a warning, not as a prohibition on the user; the separate rule against using Tinder to con people or get them to send money is carded under general misuse.

Qualifications & exceptions
Advice wording ('bad idea', 'probably a scam'), not a stated prohibition.
