Free online dating scams are
unfortunately wide-spread, that's why one should beware of believing
scammers. The last ones use free
online dating
services is the source of getting money. The problem is that
it is very difficult, close to impossible to find and punish a scammer.
How do they act? The first stage is making a fake
profile,
using photos of attractive models, and behind them there is often a
group of cheaters (6-8 people) that works with the victim.
Frequently, the targets of
free
online dating
scams are men rather than women; people of middle-age, with a good job
and salary, but who are single. They are in despair to find love and
they are already ready for serious relationship and will give
everything to be happy. They are searching for these things at
free online dating
sites.
The next stage for cheaters is to find a person (to choose among
multitude of the profiles). The scammers are good psychologists: they
determine weak sides of a person, they know what and how to say to make
the victim give money without any doubts. Usually, the period of
grooming lasts during 4-6 months, but there are cases with longer
periods (up to 12 months). It depends on the person and his/her stage
of despair. Free online dating scams are well-thought, that's why
it isn't easy to make them out at once.
One of the signs for
warning
is indirect cues and direct requests to send money. The reasons may be
invented different:
*lack of money to buy a ticket;
*a sudden serious sickness that needs a big sum of money;
*unpaid bills that don't let a person go to the victim;
*money for setting up the business etc.
Free online dating scams prevent people to find real love on the
Internet. In real life, there are also different scams that may kill
the mood. It is not the reason to stop searchings, a person should be
self-confident and clear-headed. The rules and tips of
free online safety
may help in it.
