- Trust your
instincts: If you think or feel things are not going the way they ought to
be, back out from such relationship.
- Choose a site that
will protect your anonymity until you choose to reveal personal
information and that will enforce its policies against inappropriate use.
- Be sure to run a
Google image search on the photos in profiles you receive, to ensure they
have not been stolen to create a fake profile.
- Do not post personal
information, such as phone numbers, on dating sites.
- Never send money or
give credit card or online account details to anyone you do not know and
trust.
- Wait until you feel
comfortable with an individual before telling them things like; your phone
number, place of work or address.
- Be extremely wary
about removing clothes or doing other things in front of your webcam that
could be used against you; even if you think you know the other party
- Use a dating site
that offers the ability to email prospective dates using a service that
conceals both parties’ true email addresses
- Set up a separate
email account that does not use your real name.
- Make sure your phone
number is ‘blocked’ to people you contact on dating sites
- Pick a user name
that does not include any personal information.
- Finally, do not meet
your date in a hidden place. Let people be around where you are meeting.
