Online Dating Safety
Just like with traditional dating, online dating requires you to use your common sense to be safe.
Below are some tips to follow to ensure sage dating experience:
1. Don't rush
Take things slow and don't rush to meet after just a few messages. If they truly are into you, they can wait until you are ready. Learn more about the person using the email and IM system on our site before meeting in person. Ask questions, request recent photos, be proactive. If something doesn't seem to add up about their story, keep asking more questions until you feel they are trustworthy or stop talking to them. Patience is an important asset in online dating.
2. Protect your identity
Do not post on your account any personal information such as your full name, your personal or work address, e-mail, phone number, etc. Do not provide this information to other members in your communication with them either. First you need to learn about the person you are talking to as possible so you can better assess their level of integrity. When you are ready to talk to a member outside of our dating site, only then you can give them your email address.
3. Follow your common sense

4. You are in control
Don't forget that you are in charge when communicating with members. You can communicate through the website until and if you ready to communicate by over the phone, private email, IM, etc. If you decide to meet in person someone you met online, let your friends and/or relatives know where you are going, with whom and when you will be returning. Your first date should be in a public place; you can make it even a double date.
5. How to spot a possible scammer?
If anyone asks for money, spams your account with solicitations or demonstrates any peculiar behavior please report them promptly.
Below are typical types of scam that con masters use online. You need to be aware:
- If you get a message from any anyone telling you that their relative passed away and they've inherited a lot of money and now need a bank account to transfer the money.
- If you get a message offering you compensation for a service from an individual you don't even know or service you haven't performed.
- If a person is asking you to send him or her money for visa arrangements, ticket to come visit you, pay for their internet bill, an urgent medical treatment, etc.
-If the person messaging you is significantly younger and shortly tells you that they are in love with you.
- If the person's messages have many grammar errors and misspelled words, especially when his/her profile indicates s/he has a good educational background.
- If they state that they normally live or were born in the USA, UK or Australia, but now have to go to live or work in Ghana, Nigeria, or somewhere in Africa.
