Benefits and risks

Online dating widens your circle and fits around work. The risks are fake profiles, romance scams and time wasted on people who are not serious.

Staying safe

Follow these basics on any platform.

Never send money to someone you have met online.
Ask for a video call before meeting.
Meet first in a busy public place and tell someone you trust.
Be cautious of anyone who rushes intimacy or avoids questions.
