Dating websites can hide fraudsters who will pull the wool over your eyes to get your money. Spot the scam here

Date: 2007-02-14

If you're single and looking for love, online dating can be a great way of meeting people. But sometimes it can go wrong, warns an Office of Fair Trading report.

The internet, like anything has provided a minority of fraudsters to exploit those using dating websites legitimately.

An online scammer is someone who will set up a false profile on an internet dating service, and who will appear to be looking for love but is actually out to con people out of their money.

How to spot a scam :

  • The scammer will want your money, not immediately, but after a time.
  • At first they will try and convince you that you are in a loving relationship
  • Then they will try and get money from you by claiming that they do not have enough money to see you
  • They may ask you to transfer money to them through a money transfer agency such as Western Union so it is untraceable
  • They may say they need money as they are stranded abroad, robbed, or claim they have an illness which to treat needs money for medical costs

    Other scam warnings include :

    • The picture looks deceptively attractive
    • Your date only gives a post office address and a telephone number
    • They talk about themselves and do not answer your questions, because they are sending standard emails to lots of people

    To protect yourself from a scam like this, do the following :

    • Never send your bank details to someone you don't know
    • Be skeptical. Is this person who they say they are?
    • Ask for advice. Call Consumer Direct on 08454 04 05 06
    • Report the offender to the dating site that facilitates the introduction
    • Do not give out any personal details
    • Always try and meet someone who lives locally
    • Be skeptical if a person who is not your usual dating type contacts you
