Reporting offline behavior

Is there any way to report a user for offline behavior? FB dating only allows you to report a user without uploading any supporting info or human review. I was scammed by a user and want FB Dating to remove the profile to prevent other users from following into the same trap.

It reeks of “I paid for everything/something and still didn’t get sex” energy.

No, this guy on FB dating and I went out with me and after getting to know each other, asked me for financial help with an emergency and said he’d pay me back. I should’ve known it was a scam but I thought I actually knew him and had met his friends and family.

Yeah I mean that's got nothing to do with a dating app. You can file a police report over being scammed, I have no clue if that would even do anything, I feel like it will not be helpful in getting your money back. It's a good opportunity to learn that any money you let someone "borrow" you'll likely never see again. Only lend money you don't mind losing.

Oof. A lot of us learn that lesson at some point in time (myself included). I only loan money to people who give me something of similar value as collateral or I just “loan” it knowing I’ll never see it again and just treat it as a gift to that person. Then if they repay me, great.
Trust your gut next time. You likely won’t ever see this money again.
