Don’t be scammed when looking to meet someone to date online.

Tricked Or Treated?

Despite around one in three (31% of) people in South Africa using online dating services and apps, not everyone enjoys a positive experience. The latest research from Kaspersky Lab suggests that people looking for ‘the one’ online might be disappointed – having come across fake information and photos, malicious links, scammers trying to extort information from them or other people lying about what they are looking for in a relationship.

The research found that those searching for their soulmate on online dating platforms such as Tinder, Bumble, OK Cupid, Badoo and more, are in the minority, with just 10% locally using online dating to actually find a marriage partner. That’s compared to half (50%) of online dating users doing it for fun, and 19% simply looking for sex.
