Dating Site Safety
The truth is that these instances are few and far between and with the use of simple precautions the risk associated with such activity can be minimised or even removed completely.
Your Password is a Key
Choose a password that you can remember but don't use real words that someone else could guess. Make up a password that is a combination of letters and numbers, or even stronger security, use letters, numbers and symbols and mix the case of the letters. Do not write your password down where others can see it. If you find it hard to remember use a password storage program where they can be stored. This is a bit like locking your keys in a safe.
Personal Information is Private Information
One of the advantages of using our dating site is the fact that you can send messages and communicate with another member without revealing your email address or phone number. Of course, it's perfectly reasonable to ask for these if you have built up a little trust with someone but don't be too quick to let them know what these details are. Wait until you're sure you would like to pass on this information. If your contact is a genuine person then they will respect your wishes.
Scammers and Fraudsters
Just as there are pickpockets and shoplifters in our towns and cities there are scammers and fraudsters who try their luck on dating sites by posting seemingly innocent profiles which they then use to lure the unwary into parting with some money.
However, they are easy to spot as their motives are invariably to do with financial gain. Favorites stories they use to presuade others to send them money are; being stuck abroad and needing cash to buy a flight to come and see you, or being ill and needing the money for treatment.
If you are suspicious of anyone you encounter on our site then please inform us. We treat all such reports in the strictest confidence.
