By Douglas Scott


Advance in technology has changed how people meet and establish long-term relationships. It is possible for people to start relationships after meeting online on various dating sites. However, not everyone is lucky to find a partner online. Some people have bad experiences due to dating app scams which are on the rise. Online scamming is widely spread on dating sites because there is potential for getting personal and use it to get money from unsuspecting individuals.

Identifying scammers is not difficult as many online users assume. Scammers may possess different characteristics, they have similar goals when it comes to online scamming. It is important to know, everyone can fall victim to online scamming. Understanding this fact helps online users be on the lookout for some strange behaviors while communicating with potential partners. Below are key factors every online user should pay attention to avoid scamming.

The age difference is a common indicator, the person you are talking to is a scammer. Online con artists target older people because they are more vulnerable compared to the younger individuals. Old people are more focused on getting partners to overcome loneliness. They fail to pay attention to some fraudulent characters posed by conmen, that is why scammers take advantage of their vulnerability and technology illiteracy.

Scammers are not identical but have similar behaviors. A typical scammer will insist on getting personal information from you and profess their love after few days of communication. They possess erratic, dramatic and other strange characters you would not want a partner to have. Keep in mind, scammers will always ask to communicate outside dating sites. This means they prefer sending text or emails and avoid talking via phone.

Always review photos on dating apps before you agree to share them with anyone. This step helps you determine if the person is genuine or not. Use online tools to a background check on the person. For instance, take copies of their photos and upload them on Google Image search. If photos appear in more than two sites with different details, it is evident the individual is a scammer.

Reports indicate that scammers come from non-English speaking nations. This means their conversation is full of spelling and grammatical errors. You will notice spelling mistakes when they write down names, improper use of pronouns and bad sentence structure.

Scammers will never agree to meet you in person or share any personal information. They come up with excuses when you request to meet them in person. If a scammer agrees to meet, he or she will ask for money to travel or bail out the last minute.

It is easy to fall victim to scammers, if you are not cautious of the emotional manipulation scammers use on victims. Most scammers will accuse you of breaking their hearts, or use words like we should trust each other for this relationship to work. Do not trust an individual who wants you to bail them out of a financial emergency soon after you start dating. Make it clear you cannot share personal information or send money to a person you have not met.
