In the description section of the account, the keyboard warrior describes Maddie as "hide n seek world champion 2007".

It continues: "Had the worst holiday in Portugal, would not recommend to a friend.

"Just down at the pub drinking sangria x".

Some people posted on social media sharing screenshots from the account.
 One said: "somec*** made a Maddie McCann tinder", with several see-no-evil emojis.

Another person shared a snap of the post, adding: "the one that got away".

Tinder has been contacted for comment.

Three-year-old Maddie disappeared from an apartment during a family holiday in Praia da Luz, Portugal in May 2007.

Search supporters recently called for the McCann's to be given more cash to help find their missing daughter.

It comes a short time after a similar incident in Scotland when a Facebook profile was created pretending to be Maddie, saying: "am back f***ers".

The hoax profile joined the social media site before posting a picture captioned: “Am back troops, been a long 10 years, whos onit x.”

A  was also set up pretending to be the missing girl, saying: "am back f***ers".

The McCann's were recently buoyed by the finding of American schoolgirl Jayme Closs, who escaped from a cabin in the woods where she'd been held for months.

The official Find Maddie Campaign posted online: "Such great news. Jayme is an example of why we never lose hope and never stop searching."

In 2017 a study found that Kate and Gerry McCann were targeted with more than 150 abusive messages from social media users each day.
