Dating sites are becoming an increasingly common way for men from the west to meet girls from Thailand, Philippines, Russia or the Ukraine. But there are some essential things to remember when using dating sites or social media to meet girls, particularly Russian girls and men searching for potential brides.
Some of these dating sites are fake – They have been set up as genuine dating websites but in reality are only there to obtain innocent people’s identity and bank account details. So, watch out as you complete your dating site profile and pay your subscription, the information could all be being downloaded by organized criminals for the purpose of fraud or identity theft. Only use reputable sites with a history of providing good security and service.
Some of the dating or social media site profiles you see will defiantly be fake (you may not even be chatting or corresponding with a real girl). The profile may have been posted to lure men into a trap in an attempt to defraud them by a fictitious ‘hard luck’ story or, to keep subscribers staying on the site and persuaded into buying extra credits, or spending money to upgrade their membership.
Some of the girls posting on dating site masquerade as someone they are not; from the outset their aim is to financially or sexually exploit other site users or their families.
How can you help protect yourself when using dating sites or social media when meeting people?
Note; Scammers tell their potential victims they have fallen in love quickly because they don’t want to waste valuable time on somebody who is not responsive or potentially receptive to being scammed. If a victim responds positively, by telling them they love them back, they [the scammer] are then able to move onto the next stage (a request for money). If a person does not respond positively they just move onto their next victim.
Be very careful if you do decide to travel to the Far East Russia or the Ukraine to meet somebody you have met on a dating site in person.
Follow good safety advice when considering how to travel, where to stay, where to meet, having fun and socializing, including advice about how to protect yourself if you’re meeting someone in person who you’ve connected with online.
