How To Be Safe With Online Dating

There are many pitfalls, in the world of online dating and personals, never take a site's claims at face value, a site might boast several thousand members, but on closer inspection many of those members may not have been active in a week, a month, even a year. Many might have signed and never returned. There is also an increasing market in the world of online dating; where newly created dating sites agree with established sites to swap databases of membership profiles, purely to entice others to join; on joining to their surprise these new members may find that most of the people on the site will possibly never reply to their private message. There is also an underhand tactic being used on certain sites, where women are being recruited to simply keep the men happy, i.e pretend to be interested in them, and willing to continue to keep the embers burning, when in truth they have no interest, ut are being paid to pretend. So beware of that picture that just looks too good to be true, and incidentally is interested in you.

Of course there is always the element of fraud, especially with any newly created dating site, fraudsters target these hoping the individuals are susceptible to their schemes, it usually follows the same pattern, people declaring their undying love for you, or they need your help to move large amounts of money, just make sure you send the remittance via western union, or any other untraceable e-currency. Remember to be safe than sorry, if you do eventually find someone online, always meet in a crowded public place, and never give out personal details to your potential suitor, until you have known them for a good while.
