In October 2006, New York area media including the New York Times and WCBS-TV reported that Adam4Adam was the focus of a conspiracy to find gay men online to rob. A number of men in New York City used the site to lure a Brooklyn man to a remote area where he was robbed and murdered.

The men were found when one user was identified via his screenname.

Many news sources reported similar occurrences in the Washington Metropolitan Area. In discussing the case of a perpetrator of multiple robberies in that region, a Washington, DC police officer from that police force's Gay & Lesbian Liaison Unit said "We've definitely seen an increase in online dating crimes in the past five years" and added that victims of internet dating crimes are "overwhelmingly men cruising for sex."

The same police officer also noted that these criminals are often technologically savvy and create profiles using fake information and other people's photos from cyber cafés or public libraries, making them difficult to trace.

A high-profile April 2010 murder investigation in the Washington, D.C., area revealed that the victim, a high school principal, met his assailants through adam4adam.com.

In reporting on the murder of a 39-year-old San Diego man by a 19-year old U.S. Marine, an editorial in the Gay & Lesbian Times said that the victim was an avid user of adam4adam.com. Instincts told us that the victim may have met his killer online and invited him into his Little Italy apartment, where he ultimately met his fate.

The site has also been linked to robberies, beatings and kidnappings in Trinidad and Tobago.

A very popular American Idol contestant (runner-up) was outed by someone he hooked up with on this site.
