Safe Online Dating

Online dating can be a rewarding experience because you can get to know people from all over the world, make friends and even find a soul mate for life. Unfortunately a lot of people are using online dating sites to collect email addresses that are added to mailing lists that are use for spam. The following tips will help you avoid being on these lists.

Never post your email address on your profile in a place that can be viewed by strangers.
Do not use a login or user name similar to your email address. For example if you use the email address 1234@yahoo.com or 1234@gmail.com and the username 1234 people can easily guess your address and spam it.
Never give somebody your email or postal address until you know they can be trusted. We recommend you exchange messages using the Pal Factor dating site message system that does not send your email address. You can then send the person you are communicating with your details when you know you can trust them.
