Online Dating Safety advice

Helpful Hints to keep in mind:
1. Remember that you are in control of your online experience at all times. You can remain completely anonymous until you feel ready.
2. Always provide truthful information to the person you are dating.
3. Do not give out any personal information, like your telephone number or your personal address. It is very important to first get the idea of the kind of person whom you are dating.
4. Maintain all communication within our network and for your safety do not release your personal email address.
5. Be patient; begin your communication via emails or chat room only. Remember, we keep all contacts between members onsite so your email address remains confidential.
6. Carefully consider your partners words. Trust your instincts and if anything makes you uncomfortable, end communication.

There are two most popular types of scams over the Internet - Dating Scam (sex or money related) and so-called "Nigerian Letters". And, there are two most frequent scammer sources - Russia (and other ex-USSR countries) and African countries. Bulgaria is now also on the list as well as of 2007. Both types of scams have similar layouts and both are easy to identify - cheaters correspond with you, write kind and affectionate letters and finally beg you for money. They will need money for dying aunty, visa arrangements, ticket to fly to you, pay for Internet, have an urgent surgery, etc. Another approach the scammers might take is by stating that one of their love ones died and they inherited money, and need a bank account to transfer money. These are few examples of scams you might encounter. You need only two tips to be safe and not become a victim:

TIP 1 (how to identify scam): If you got a letter from an African country and you see any mention of huge money amounts proposed to you – this is scam; if you got a letter from a official relative – this is scam; if you got a letter proposing you money for some kind of service from a person that you don’t even know – this is scam; if your pen pal asks you to send a certain amount of money for visa, bribe, surgery, etc. after a few tender letters – this is scam.
TIP 2 (how to avoid scam): Very simple! DON’T SEND MONEY to anyone. Remember that any type of soliciting and spamming and/or fraudulent transactions from an account at Christian Singles, will lead to an immediate termination of that account! Please report scam.
