Dating and online dating: scams and fakes

Dating and online dating: scams and fakes

Here is a new topic that has come under scrutiny: dating, online dating sites!  Are they serious, are they effective, is it worth the effort to create an account on a dating site?  What is a dating site?  Are there any risks in using such a service?  What are the common scams?

 First of all, what are these dating sites?

 Online dating services are also known as "online dating" or "internet dating / web dating" and basically refer to a computer system that allows users, whether individuals or couples or groups, to communicate online,  that later, at least on a theoretical level to evolve towards, a romantic type relationship or a sexual type relationship. escorts bucharest

 These online dating services, as the name suggests, use the Internet as the communication infrastructure to establish interpersonal connections.  Access areas can be web (via browser), in the case of dating sites, or mobile applications dedicated to smartphones and tablets.  Recently, there has been an explosion in the number of applications in the online dating / dating segment.

 Unlike a chatroom or a chat system (dating sites or applications usually include a chat or instant messaging system - often for a fee) these applications allow users to  Optionally publish certain personal data in a dedicated account, so that users can publish details about themselves, so that they can later search for other people, using criteria such as: location, sex or age, preferences, etc.  These platforms can offer optional services, such as instant messaging - which I mentioned earlier, online chat or message box.  Some of these sites allow free membership registration, others charge a usage fee.  This is usually monthly.  More recently, smartphone applications also allow membership with extended facilities and for shorter periods.

 Most of these platforms are generalist, attracting members from different social and cultural backgrounds, who are looking for different types of relationships.  At the same time, other platforms are very niche and are based on grouping members with the same interests, from the same geographical areas, religions, or with the same requirements regarding the type of relationship desired.

 Online dating platforms, websites, seem to be outdated and considered obsolete.  In general, they are also frequented by females who offer sex for a fee (escorts) but also men.  The actual profiles of women who are sincerely looking for a relationship or are on the verge of extinction, however, the percentage of male profiles on a profile site is usually the majority.

 The preferred alternatives of the young generation are those offered by smartphones: applications.  The chances of identifying a sexual partner in order to develop a conventionally romantic or sexual relationship (ie not paid sex) are extremely low nowadays using a dating site.

 In order to maintain the traffic and attention of users, but also to attract paying customers (ie customers who upgrade their free account to an account that offers premium features) site administrators and dating applications use various subterfuges, tricks and unorthodox methods.  Thus, in addition to the natural risks arising from the use of such a service, a number of grievances may also arise.  Here are some of the methods used by dating site owners to attract paying users.

 some dating sites do not display the profiles registered on the site, without the user first registering.  Therefore, he is forced to register, not knowing what content he will find on that site. vipluxuryescorts

  fake profiles, these being created as "bait" by site administrators, in order to attract new paying members.

 "Hit and run" scheme: the site creates dozens of fake profiles of women, then pays a few girls who are hired to be active on these accounts.  The new user who creates a free profile receives rights to browse the site and discover interesting people, to receive messages, but in free mode he does not receive rights to reply or send messages.  Immediately after registration, he is approached by some attractive girls and interested in dialogue, but the surprise: the golden apple is not fixed at hand, you have to pay for access.  The user decides that it is an active, interesting site and upgrades to a paid account.  Immediately attractive and interested girls do not answer, they are now preoccupied with attracting other naive people.  He is already a customer and is no longer interested.

 because dating sites are no longer in high demand, a large number of dating sites keep their profiles online even if the user has not accessed their account for a long time, thus generating the impression that the site  respectively there are more members available than they really are.

 Free online dating sites are often the target of phishing attacks (for obtaining confidential data) or spam (for collecting e-mail addresses).  Another disadvantage would be the heavy ads on each page.

 Online dating platforms aim for quick financial gains: either from ads displayed to visitors and others directly from them, when the free account is upgraded to a paid account
