Risks of the Web
There are a few things to always keep in mind not only about dating sites, but about the web world in general. First, protect yourself from phishing and spam by not sharing your personal information with anyone. We are not just talking about your credit card and bank information, but also your email address.
Also, keep in mind that some of the reviews on the Internet may be commissioned by the companies themselves and therefore may not be completely true. This discussion, of course, also applies to dating platforms.
Subscriptions and scams
By registering on a dating site there is also the risk of not being able to cancel one's membership. Many platforms, in fact, provide their users with premium subscriptions, or profiles with additional features and tools. There are many people who opt for a paid subscription, which certainly offers a more complete experience than a free membership. If you happen to subscribe and don't know how to cancel it, you should contact the site's customer support.
In addition, most of the negative reviews related to dating sites are about the subscription "scam." This is not really a scam, but a mechanism adopted by many platforms that consists of automatic extension of your subscription if you do not send a cancellation request within a certain number of days. Always check the terms of the contract before paying any amount and be ready to cancel in time if you no longer want to use premium services.
Fake profiles
Finally, please never send money to any other subscriber. Some users create fake profiles pretending to be someone else, so do your research well when you start chatting with new people, for example you can check their profile photos with special tools like Google Lens. And even if you exchange several messages with a single person who really seems to be the person in your life, no matter how much you like them: never send money.
Before you join an online dating site, therefore, do your research. Inform yourself in detail about the major risks and take steps to protect yourself. Always remember never to share your personal information with anyone, even the people you meet on these platforms. Wait until you meet them in person and form a serious, long-term relationship before you can trust them one hundred percent. Also, read the terms and conditions of the sites you plan to register on to avoid any nasty surprises.
