Spot The Scammers
I have written to Thousands of people online over the years. One thing I have defiantly learnt is how to pick the fakes from the real people. And now your going to have my secrets to use totally free.
Here are some of my tips.
Tip # 1 Read the profile.
Sounds simple but its not. I mean really look at the writing, study it. Is it written properly? And I don't mean little speling errors. I mean was it carefully written? Does it tell you much about the person? Or was it just thrown together quick or sound like they copied it right out of a magazine?
Nigerian scammers are online and preying on innocent people, fortunately not all of them are smart. Generally you will see a "god fearing" statements written somewhere in their profile. (It’s a warning sign only)
Tip # 2 The Profile Picture
Where is he/she pics from? If it looks too good to be true (it could be)
Tip #3 Nickname Tricks.
Luckily enough there are massive amounts of singles online who are honest and more then happy to share information. Go To www.google.com and do a search for the Nickname. And do many... Searches like "Nickname scammer" or "Nickname" or "Hate Nickname".
You may be lucky and someone has written about there experiences with your new love in the past.
Tip # 3 Get video.
Everyone has access to a webcam. If they can post a pic of themselves. Then it is possible. NEVER NEVER NEVER Believe someone that does not show themselves via webcam first. They are hiding something I promise.
Now that you have a bit of advice for online dating there is just one more thing to remember..... Regardless of your current situation you are unique and special in this world, even if you don’t feel it right now you are. SO PLEASE NEVER SEND MONEY TO ANYONE FOR ANYTHING. YOU’RE TOO GOOD TO BE PLAYED FOR A FOOL.

Online Dating | Minimize Your Risk Factors
As you probably accept by now, Online Dating is an efficient and fun way to meet new and interesting people. However, Online Dating can be risky business and you need to protect yourself.
Most people you meet on line are exactly who they say they are but there are the perverts and sexual predators so you should use some good judgment while getting to know the stranger you have just met.
Risk Management #1:
Don’t Give Out Any Personal Information until You Have Gotten to Know the Person.
Never give your real name, address or phone number until you are sure the person you are talking to is who they say they are. Perverts, sexual predators and just plain garden variety weirdoes come in both sexes, all ages and in all shapes and sizes.
It’s truly better to be safe than sorry.
Risk Management #2:
Take Your Time Getting to Know the Other Person.
You will see a picture sooner or later of him or her. Don’t be fooled by outward appearances. The real person is the one you need to get to know.
Honest and faithful are qualities that will last but beautiful and handsome will fade with time. You don’t have to spend 24/7 with a person to find out who they are. You do need to listen to what he or she is saying carefully.
Once you think you know this person well enough to exchange personal information, don’t stop there. The Internet is a wonderful place where you can learn just about anything and everything about anybody and in just a few minutes.
Risk Management #3:
Do your Homework!
Check them out. There is an old saying among journalists. “Your mother says she loves you but check it out.” That is good advice for Online Dating and for “real world” dating too. Don’t take everything the other person tells you at face value.

Dating online is becoming more and more popular, with people from all over the world logging online to search for a soul mate in cyberspace. However, like all other businesses that are conducted online, hackers are always out there to track you down for your personal information.

NEVER write your phone number, email address, real name, home address anywhere on the site where other members can see it. You only need to write your email address for the dating sites administrator to verify who you are but after that, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. Wait until you have started chatting with someone whom you truly click with and have spoken to for a while.
Join the chat room regularly start to form friendships with the regular members there. Again keep your personal email address to yourself until you are certain you want to meet someone from there. Be honest, and be yourself – after all, being natural is what will endear you to a particular mate.

Avoid extremely large, public chat rooms. A lot of people visit these chat rooms to see what they can get away with. Try focusing on smaller, targeted websites or chat rooms that come from a reputable site you can trust.
If you decide to meet each other in person, choose a neutral, public place. You may even choose a town or city that’s not the same as the one where you live. Restaurants, parks, theaters and other public places where people gather often are a good place to start.
