Tips and Tricks
- Trust your instincts. If you are uncomfortable, feel free to leave a date or cut off communication with whoever is making you feel unsafe. Do not worry about feeling rude, your safety is most important, and your date should understand that.
- Don’t Respond to Requests for Financial Help. No matter how convincing and compelling someone’s reason may seem, never respond to a request to send money, especially overseas or via wire transfer.
- Find out someone’s criminal history. Protect yourself and loved ones from someone who could potentially harm you physically or financially by conducting a background check. Finding out if someone has a criminal history will provide a stronger sense of safety about who you are meeting. These checks can verify major crimes such as: abuse, arson, assault and battery, drug trafficking, fraud, fugitive, human rights, weapons possessions, identity theft, kidnapper, murder, organized crime, sex offenses, theft and terrorism.
- Be wary of anyone who seems too good to be true or who asks for personal information or money before you have met in person.
- Top excuses for asking for money. Many romance scammers ask their targets for money to pay for a plane ticket, travel expenses,crypto investments, gambling debts, paying for a Visa, or medical expenses appealing to your compassionate side.
- Pay attention to what they say they do. Fraudsters use occupations that can help them cover up why they are in another country. The FTC says the top reasons are working on an oil rig, serving in the military, or a doctor with an international organization.
- Schedule a video call with your match. Once you have matched with a potential date and chatted, consider scheduling a video chat with them before meeting up in person for the first time. This can be a good way to help ensure your match is who they claim to be in their profile. If they strongly resist a video call, that could be a sign of suspicious activity.
- Tell a friend where you’re going. Take a screenshot of your date’s profile and send it to a friend. Let at least one friend know where and when you plan to go on your date. It may also be helpful to arrange to text or call a friend partway through the date or when you get home to check in.
