Looking for love? Online dating is great for discovering a pool of potential suitors, but remember that it’s not always clear who you’re chatting to and what their motives are.
People can pretend to be anyone they want to on dating websites, whether that’s fraudsters intending to find victims for ‘romance scams’ or strangers with a murky past. So make sure you take some precautions, no matter how genuine someone seems.
It’s a good idea to use a website that’s reputable and will safeguard your personal information. Larger sites, such as Eharmony, Bumble and match.com, have features to protect your personal information and block other users.
