There are thousands of real and honest singles using online dating sites throughout the world. Online dating offers singles a convenient way to find romance although their are some dangers associated with online dating. To stay safe when meeting strangers on the internet there are some guidelines singles should should keep in mind to avoid certain dangers that are of real concern. There are rising reports of fraud and even violent situations occurring from online dating meetings.

48% of singles who have signed up for online dating for the first time do so as result from recent relationship failures and are considered targets by internet dating fraudsters. This group of singles are at high risk of being scammed or used for satisfying the needs of online criminals who have hidden agendas. The promise of sex, love and comfort finds many singles within this demographic at high risk of falling prey to online scammers.

Here are a few examples of real life stories of vulnerable singles that have given their trust to online scammers only to have their lives torn apart.

 

 

Recent activities reported by authorities claim that a 56 year old man from a Canada fell in love with a charming single women (or so he thought) from Wellington, New Zealand. The man and women began to chat online for a number of weeks through webcam chat when the man was lulled into a false sense of security believing this women’s advances were genuine.

Investigations by authorities from the two countries where the scam was eventually picked up discovered  this web cam chat women offered promises of love and to re-locate to various cities of up to a dozen vulnerable and lonely men worldwide before swindling them and extracting what is estimated to be more than 900,000.00 US dollars.

A recent report from a city in India tells of a gang of internet dating scammers that were arrested for luring lonely singles to secluded areas and kidnapping them for a number of days only to let them go when the crooks had exhausted all ways of stealing as much of their victims money resources as possible. The internet scammers would methodically select online dating profiles from dating services they judged to be wealthy singles and deemed vulnerable, then befriend them to gain their trust.

Online dating continues to be a very successful and common way for singles to meet and find relationships, however singles need to be warned of the lengths criminals will go to for their own hidden agendas. Below are 5 important stay safe guidelines singles need to consider before they agree to meet strangers off the internet.

1/ DO NOT send money overseas under ANY circumstances to singles you have met online.

2/ Don’t offer personal details such as work details, home address or your children’s personal details.

3/ Its important meet in a public place never in an secluded area.

4/ If you are contacted by an online dating member that is offering you their love and loyalty prior to exchanging emails this could be a spam email that has been sent to hundreds of other online dating users.

5/ Compile as much information as you can regarding this person to substantiate they are for real.

 

Singles are best served searching for love on the internet in their local area. There are far less cases of love going wrong when locals meet through online dating. More than 93% of crimes relating to online dating originate in foreign countries.

   

  

Bob Miles asked:


Is it possible that after a few bad experiences with local women, you are now considering the possibility of taking an overseas bride? Maybe you have a taste for adventure or are intrigued by what is unfamiliar. Whatever the reason, below are some answers to questions you may have.

1. Are overseas brides only for losers who can’t find partners in their own countries?

Of course not. It is an unfortunate truth that overseas brides sometimes attract the sorts of men that nobody back home wants, but they represent only a fraction of the men who choose overseas brides. Don’t forget that a couple of decades ago people considered “computer dating” to be a way for nerds to find dates – but today it has become a popular and accepted way to find a partner.

2. Are mail order brides all money hungry green card hounds?

Mostly not. Be careful of course – it IS a jungle out there. Just as loser men seek “mail order brides”, so do scamstresses see Western men as walking green cards (with luck they’ll all end up married to the losers). You should at least consider the services on an international matchmaking agency rather than going it alone on the free Internet sites, because if they’re reputable, then part of their fees go towards weeding out the scammers.

3. What do these women want, anyway?

The good ones want the same thing local women want -home, family, children, and love. As for the bad ones – well, need I even go into it? The point is that there are good ones out there.

4. Why are these women looking abroad for men?

A lot of reasons:

(i) They may be facing a life of poverty at home.

(ii) Their culture may relegate women to a low social status – after all, in some cultures a wife is considered little more than a maid / nanny / baby factory.

(iii) “Western guys look like movie stars” – I’m serious. Asia is the only part of the world where I get told I look like Mel Gibson. Well, we’re both white, but I’m fairly certain that’s about where the resemblance ends. But thanks anyway, Hollywood! .

(iv) It’s cold at home! If you were a Russian woman, wouldn’t you have to seriously consider a proposal from a man who lived in Orlando?

Michael Douglas asked:


Romance, who loves to nod and sing,

With drowsy head and folded wing,

Among the green leaves as they shake

Far down within some shadowy lake

-Romance by Edgar Allan Poe

DEEPLY dipping decolletage, dinner by candlelight and ardour in his eyes… Romance?

Yes, of course.

Walking hand in hand by the seaside, silhouetted against the sunset as you murmur sweet nothings to each other… Romance?

Sure.

Giggling together over nothing; shared chocolates, songs heard and sung together; fingers touched and snatched away; champagne and roses…Romance?

Mmmmm, YES!

Time spent together, full of love and mischief, but parting to go your separate ways, love locked deep in your hearts; a baby’s quivering dimpled bottom, pitter patter of rain, streaks of sunset colour in the sky… Romance?

Ma…ybe.

A glimpse of knickers under Anna Kournikova’s tennis skirt; loving more than one person at a time, having no-strings-attached sex with a friend once in a while… Romance?

Ouch! Spicy- But hey, WHY NOT?

Why must romance necessarily be something to do with love, togetherness and spending time with your lover? Like most things in life, why must romance be bound by definitions and limits? To the extent that when a website asked a number of romance writers to post their definitions of romance, each one defined it as the love story of a man and woman, their strength of character, trials and tribulations, and how they overcome these. Each author specified that a romance could only possibly have a happily ever after (HEA) ending!

But how realistic is that? The definition of romance changes with time. From medieval to Gothic to 18th century romantic poetry to early 20th century War romances, onto the Harlequin series and realistic romances – what a world of difference!

One way to measure this is to flick through a few romance novels. Pick up the all-time favourite Mills & Boons, for instance. A few years ago, virginity was a pre-requisite and the main characters verbally sparred their way through the story till the end when they discovered their all-encompassing love and were allowed the first kiss… Swoon, swoon… how sweetly romantic!

Today, they start off as ‘f*** buddies’, move in together and the idea of marriage and HEA comes almost as a surprise! Virginity is not even considered, though fidelity is still a requisite.

Medieval romances were all about quests and adventure. Modern romance too is about quest – but an internal quest, a quest to discover yourself. Romance today is as much about your journey inwards – a relationship with self – as it is a loving relationship with another.

Romance is no longer about waiting for the right time or opportunity; it’s about the here and now. It’s for you to find romance in every moment, every thought and every word. For, romance emanates from within you. If you keep waiting for the right time and place, it will just pass you by.

What are the feelings a romantic situation arouses? Romance is when you feel good about yourself and everyone around; when your good hormones are flowing and you love the whole world. If knickers peeking out from beneath a skirt seem kinda cute to you, then that’s your kind of romance! If you get addicted to exercise and look forward to your early morning walks, even that could be your experience of romance. Glaze gazing far out into the horizon with a blank mind could be as romantic as a bubble bath with your lover. Anything and everything that helps you connect with joy of living is romantic.

If you are willing to stretch your definition of it, romance is always in the air around you; you just have to sniff it out. It’s there in the leaf that just dropped to the ground; the trees laden with droopy, bright yellow amaltas; in the colours of dawn and dusk. It’s actually nowhere without; it’s within you.

Mr A Fuller asked:


Welcome to the present, where home loans are dominating people’s lives in almost every way. Interest rates are creeping up, people are borrowing to their limits and banks are more than happy to approve loans for ever increasing amounts. Personal lives and family life is starting to take a backseat with personal gain and materialistic values becoming number one priority in society, with the expressions of taking the time to stop and smell the flowers becoming seemingly obsolete. Weekends are spent in hardware stores, buying tools and materials to improve our houses value and knock off time during the week is getting later and later making sure we all take all the overtime we can. Most families cannot even remember the last family holiday they had, if they are lucky enough to have had one.

Yes yes, I know, a bleak miserable world is being described to you, but in this world where time is precious I can’t help but feel that people are putting their family, loved ones, partners and friends last and striving for financial success first. Which seem a little strange because to bring a smile to a loved ones face can be a quick and inexpensive step. A prepared meal waiting for your partner when they get home, a weekend in bed doing nothing but spending time together watching dvd’s, sending some flowers to someones work or home. Even though it may seem like such a quick and simple step to the sender, a simple gesture like flower delivery can provide a smile and happiness that is priceless and beyond its cost in happiness.

Taking your kids to the park to play, having coffee with an old friend, ringing your parents just to say hello are the little things in life that are becoming increasing overlooked but are the moments that are most treasured. Why not just say no to the overtime one night this week and do something together with your family or loved ones. Because there is nothing worse in this world than regret and to be disappointed that in our life time we haven’t taken the time to do the gestures that really do count would be heartbreaking. So start right now, don’t put it off, send a box of roses un-expectantly to your loved one, try www.flowerdelivery.net.au and put that smile on their face and most importantly back onto yours!
