Very Important Safety Information!!!

While internet dating is an excellent way to meet other singles, unfortunately the internet also offers new opportunities for criminals and dishonest individuals to extort money from unsuspecting individuals. In order to avoid any problems, it is better to be overly cautious. Here are some tips and suggestions to keep in mind:
  • NEVER send cash to someone you have met online, but have not yet met in person.
  • Be suspicious of people who appear to be overtly persistent or aggressive in their requests for money.
  • Common examples of scams include requests for large sums of money to make payments towards plane tickets, legal fees, visa and immigration charges, medical expenses, marriage annulment fees etc.
  • If you feel you must assist someone to purchase a plane ticket, then always buy the ticket yourself on behalf of the visitor and make sure the ticket can be refunded in case you need to cancel it.
  • If you must make any other payments, do so directly with the organization, only after you have verified the invoice is genuine.
  • Some people in developing countries often request smaller amounts of money to pay for expenses such as internet access or phone costs to communicate with you. We recommend not sending any money to someone you haven't met in person, under any circumstances.
  • If you do send money to someone, be suspicious of someone who requests more money as soon as they receive the initial amount.
Please note that we have an online form for members to report any suspicious activities, including requests for money from other members. To access this form, please log on to our site, find the profile of the suspect member and click on the 'Report Abuse' (Click) link on their profile.
