With the popularity of the Internet, more and more people choose to find love online. However, online dating also carries the risk of being scammed. In order to avoid being scammed, we need to pay attention to the following points.
1. Don’t believe the other person easily
After meeting someone online, don’t believe what they say easily words. Because on the Internet, it is easy to pretend to be someone else and fabricate your own experiences and background. If the other person is too perfect or makes you feel unreal, then be wary.
2. Exchange personal information with caution
When communicating online, do not easily tell the other party your personal information. Sensitive information such as home address, phone number, and bank card number should be kept confidential. If the other person insists on providing you with this information, consider whether to continue your relationship with them.
3. Multiple video calls to confirm identity
Video calls can better confirm the identity and authenticity of the other party. It is recommended to have multiple video calls and observe whether the other party's words and deeds are consistent with what was previously described. If you find any contradiction or inconsistency with the facts, be careful.
4. Don’t transfer or remit money easily
If the other party borrows money from you or asks you to transfer or remit money, you must be cautious. Don't easily believe the other party's reasons and promises, because it is likely to be a scam. If you really need help, you can choose to go through formal channels.
5. Discuss with friends and family more
During the online dating process, discuss with friends and family around you. Listen to their opinions and suggestions and avoid blindly trusting each other. At the same time, you can also ask them to help confirm the authenticity of the other party.
Although online dating is risky, as long as we remain vigilant and cautious, we can avoid being scammed. Don’t trust each other easily, be careful when exchanging personal information, make multiple video calls to confirm your identity, don’t transfer money easily, and discuss with friends and family more often. Let us face online love with reason and calmness.
