Online Dating Sites make Genuine People Victims

I support you as I have been cheated from online dating site, I gave my cell phone number and another new email address but she did not gave her number and not called anytime only mailed and did chat. I think Nigerian fraud are here huge quantity and many fake picture and hobby just to grasp money from dating hobbiest.

It is sad but true and even when it is unintended people with addiction and the like cant be noted until it is too late for the victum.

I do agree with you that they aren't safe and people should get to know those people as much as they can if they do decide to meet them. I think the safety measures that one could take is just watching out for themselves and know when not to follow through with things that could somehow bring them harm.

I definitely think it is a big no, no for children and teens. Parents should make sure their children aren't getting involved with this kind of thing, too many predators out there. Experienced grown-ups are scammed and lied too as well, though sometimes it works out. If it were me, I would chat with the person for some time and would not give out any of my own personal information. I would try to get the person's name and see if I can find them anywhere else on the net, maybe even do a background check. Find out where they work, if you can, call to make sure they really work there. Find out if you have any friends in common. I would ask about former relationships, marraiges, children, etc., besides just, what are your hobbies or interests. Don't give yourself a sexy screen name. If you feel assured at some point you and he really have things in common and you have been chatting for a long time, you may want to meet. If you do meet somewhere, drive your own car and maybe put mace or something you can spray in his eyes in your purse if he turns out to be a creep. Try to let him leave first and then you can leave and agree to email each other, don't give out your phone number.
