Just like in the conventional dating, online dating requires you to use your common sense to be safe. The most important rules of the online dating are:

 
1. Take it slow. Do not rush to meet right away after exchanging a few nice emails. Get to know the person through our online communication tools first. Make sure to ask important questions, see photos and a video of the person. If you sense something is not quite right, keep asking questions until you are satisfied with his/her answers.
 
 
2. Guard your anonymity.  Do not include your last name, address, workplace, phone number, or any other identifying information when corresponding with other members. Keep all the communication within the ChristianSingles.com site, which will protect your identity.
 
 
3. Other 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 get an idea of the kind of person whom you are dating first.
    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 the communication.
    7. If you decide to meet, tell your friends or relatives where you are going, with whom, and when you will return. Pick a public place and provide your own transportation to and from the meeting place. Send us an email if that makes you comfortable. We care about you.
    8. If you encounter someone asking for money, spamming or any odd behavior please report them immediately.
 
Scam in dating services.
 
 
You have probably heard of Internet scams. Unfortunately, dating sites have scammers as well. Any dating service faces this problem, no matter how big or small it is. What is the dating scam and what you can do to be safe? There are two most popular types of scams over the Internet - Dating Scam (sex or money related) and so-called "Nigerian Letters". Two most frequent scammer sources come from Russia (and other ex-USSR countries), African countries and Bulgaria. 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 or ask for your bank account information to "deposit large amount of money". As simple as that.
 
 
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 any African country stating that one of their relatives has died, they inherited large sum of money and now need a bank account to transfer the money - this is scam. If you got a letter from an 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 dying aunty, visa arrangements, ticket to fly to you, pay for Internet, have an urgent surgery, etc. after a few tender letters - this is scam.

TIP 2 (how to avoid scam): Very simple! DO NOT SEND MONEY to anyone.

 Remember that any type of solicitation, spam and/or fraudulent transactions from an account at Christian Singles is against our policy and will lead to an immediate termination of that account!

Please report scam. Reports from our members prove to be the most efficient way to fight it.
