Just as in life, you are likely to encounter all types of people online. Time spent communicating with a fake profile is a sheer waste of precious time.
Spotting a scammer will keep you safe then your time can be spent communicating with people who deserve your time and attention.
How to limit your chance of wasting your time on fake profiles? Read on for some ideas on how to quickly spot fake profiles and scammers online.
Picture This
Profiles that feature several pictures, taken at different times, are probably genuine. Also if you find a profile with a picture that is just too good to be true, that doesn’t necessary mean it’s fake. Even people, who are good looking need love and affection, so they may still being using online dating site, as well. If you like a profile, play it safe, and run an online search for the profile picture.
Read Between the Lines
Reading through someone’s profile will give you a general feel of what the person is really like. People who have taken the time to register and make the effort to enure their profile is detail-rich are looking to make connections and find love. Incomplete profiles or those sparse in details should be a red-flag, yet there could be reasons for the lack of a detailed profile. If you absolutely must, you can contact this person to do a little scrutinizing before prematurely come to any conclusion.
Face Off
When there has been communication going on back-and-forth for what seems forever and the other is still not game for a face-to-face meetup, you will have to ask yourself why, sooner or later. It could be that the person you have been communicating with all this while is not the one in the profile picture. Or, the person is just shy. You be the judge.
Smart Choice
Avoid dating sites with very few members and also ones that no one seems to have heard of. Unscrupulous people create fake profiles expressly to get money out of unsuspecting singles. If anyone you connect with tries to get money out of you or tries to discuss your finances, watch out. Be vigilant so that all the connections you make online lead you to the one you are looking for, without wasting time on scammers.
Be Specific
Know exactly what you’re looking for. For example, if you’re interested in a certain ethnicity, registering with a particular ethnic dating site is a good way to limit meeting scammers online because they’re marginally targeted to what you’re looking for instead of having to deal with a broad general scope. Some examples are:
African Dating Site – African singles dating site.
DesiKiss – Find Indian girls to date.
Viet Singles Dating – Vietnamese dating website.
Going for niche-related dating websites offer a cozy place to connect with singles who fall right within your criteria, like having dates handed to you on silver-platter.

Why didn’t I find this site much sooner? I think all men get caught up in a web when trying to access the dating world, it’s hard enough when people are genuine. It seems everyone is into the games anymore, including pretending to be someone else. Not only does it waste time, but it gives false hope. It might be making some girl feel good somewhere behind her computer, but what of the guy who is really making the effort to get to know her better? Seeing tips like these are very helpful for anyone new to the online dating scene, I’d very much like to see this expanded on, and get even more in depth with the different things to watch for within dating sites. There’s so many out there, how can a guy tell he’s going to the right one?
