When corresponding with another dating site member, turn off your email signature file. Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for personal information or attempts in any way to trick you into revealing it.

Dating safety tip Nr.3 - Request for photo

A photo will give you a good idea of the person’s appearance, which may prove helpful in achieving a gut feeling. In fact, it’s best to view several images of someone in various settings. If all you hear are excuses about why you can’t see a photo, consider that he or she has something to hide. Also be carefull with too much attractive women photos. It could be fake profiles because scammers usually steal nice photos from magazines and models web sites. Try to search for woman black list and visit sites in search results.

A phone call can reveal much about a person’s communication and social skills. When speaking over the phone try to keep your security and do not reveal your personal phone number. Only furnish your phone number when you feel completely comfortable. Take your attention to strange questions like "where do you live", "what are your working hours", "who is at home when you're at work".

Dating safety tip Nr. 5 - Meet in safe place

When you choose to meet offline, always tell a friend where you are going and when you will return. Leave your date's name and telephone number with your friend. Never arrange for your date to pick you up at home. Provide your own transportation, meet in a public place at a time with many people around (a familiar restaurant or coffee shop is often a good choice), and when the date is over, leave on your own as well. Refrain from drinking excessively, as it could impair your ability to make good decisions. If at some point you and your date decide to move to another location, take your own car. When the timing is appropriate, thank your date for getting together and say goodbye.

Dating safety tip Nr. 6 - Don't send money to your date

Don't send money or do any transactions before you'll meet your date personaly. Especially if are dating online with woman from Eastern Europe. The standart scheme for russian dating scam is to ask money for transportation, paying for the internet, tickets and visa's expenses. Russian scammers are very dangerous and they improve their skills always. Be very careful when someone ask you to send $100 to pay for something to continue dating online with you. Even if you're 99% sure that it's not a scam we highly recommend you to send flowers to the provided address. If this is scam woman would not tell you her real address and flowers bouquet will be undelivered and you will get full refund. It would cost you much cheaper than sending hundreds of dollars to someone in Russia or Ukraine. Some US men send thousand of dollars and than trying to find that person in Russia to return they money, but usually it's impossible.
