Online dating: dubious profiles

The profile on an online dating service network is designed to give a very comprehensive and meaningful sketch of the concerned person. Serious online dating providers attach great importance to security and statements, and texts of the member to check plausibility and respectability in order to unmask dubious profiles. Nevertheless, there appears here and there, every now and then a black sheep. Therefore, we give you a few little hints of how to do your best to expose potential threats.

The wolf in sheep's skin. So called "romance scammers" are trying to get in touch with their victims on dating networks under a false identity. Do not let them deceive you with their affection, friendship or love and then extort money from you.

The usual hustle. Usually, with online dating, you get to know very sympathetic and courteous people who show interest for you and your life. Unfortunately, some of them imply that because of the long distance or other reasons cannot see you too soon. The real aim is to buy time until the supposed dating in order to gradually build up a relationship of thrust. Once such relationship is established, the scammer will ask you under some pretext to borrow money from you.

Important! Do not give your personal information of any kind to people you have only known on online dating service networks. No matter how charming your online acquaintance may be, a serious person interested in a romantic relationship with you will never ask for financial benefits.
