There are thousands of real and honest singles using online dating sites throughout the world. Online dating offers singles a convenient way to find romance although their are some dangers associated with online dating. To stay safe when meeting strangers on the internet there are some guidelines singles should should keep in mind to avoid certain dangers that are of real concern. There are rising reports of fraud and even violent situations occurring from online dating meetings.

48% of singles who have signed up for online dating for the first time do so as result from recent relationship failures and are considered targets by internet dating fraudsters. This group of singles are at high risk of being scammed or used for satisfying the needs of online criminals who have hidden agendas. The promise of sex, love and comfort finds many singles within this demographic at high risk of falling prey to online scammers.

Here are a few examples of real life stories of vulnerable singles that have given their trust to online scammers only to have their lives torn apart.

 
 
Recent activities reported by authorities claim that a 56 year old man from a Canada fell in love with a charming single women (or so he thought) from Wellington, New Zealand. The man and women began to chat online for a number of weeks through webcam chat when the man was lulled into a false sense of security believing this women’s advances were genuine.

Investigations by authorities from the two countries where the scam was eventually picked up discovered  this web cam chat women offered promises of love and to re-locate to various cities of up to a dozen vulnerable and lonely men worldwide before swindling them and extracting what is estimated to be more than 900,000.00 US dollars.

A recent report from a city in India tells of a gang of internet dating scammers that were arrested for luring lonely singles to secluded areas and kidnapping them for a number of days only to let them go when the crooks had exhausted all ways of stealing as much of their victims money resources as possible. The internet scammers would methodically select online dating profiles from dating services they judged to be wealthy singles and deemed vulnerable, then befriend them to gain their trust.

Online dating continues to be a very successful and common way for singles to meet and find relationships, however singles need to be warned of the lengths criminals will go to for their own hidden agendas. Below are 5 important stay safe guidelines singles need to consider before they agree to meet strangers off the internet.

1/ DO NOT send money overseas under ANY circumstances to singles you have met online.
2/ Don’t offer personal details such as work details, home address or your children’s personal details.
3/ Its important meet in a public place never in an secluded area.
4/ If you are contacted by an online dating member that is offering you their love and loyalty prior to exchanging emails this could be a spam email that has been sent to hundreds of other online dating users.
5/ Compile as much information as you can regarding this person to substantiate they are for real.

 
Singles are best served searching for love on the internet in their local area. There are far less cases of love going wrong when locals meet through online dating. More than 93% of crimes relating to online dating originate in foreign countries.
