With the wide use of Internet, the biggest part of them rushed there in the pursuit of easy profit. Why is it convenient to cheat this way? Taking into account the specific character of web communication, it helps to keep the person’s identity while robbing the correspondents. There is much talk about lonely men trying to communicate on the web with attractive ladies from Russia, Ukraine, other CIS countries, etc. Let us find the answer to the question: Is the game worth the candle? It does not matter who is under the scammer’s mask, the scenario is the same: this person will try to get as much money out of the naive pen pal as possible. As a rule, the person gets several letters with not so many photos, rarely gives phone number. The usual reason of denial: no phone at home, no mobile, can you imagine this?
Dating is social activity of two people with the objective to assess the suitability of other as a future life partner. People hope to find someone to be united together in the intimate relationship or marriage. In this respect, it should be noted that online dating activity placed the firm place among the ways of dating.
There maybe serious problems when people apply to the dating online services and it should be mentioned that all rumors, causing black PR, are not exaggerated. It often happens that dating sites in the pursuit for a big quantity of members may keep the profiles of those who left long ago. People may be married already and their profiles are still viewed on the site together with the number of others. Besides, there is such a thing as “bait profile”, when profiles do not show the profiles of those who are registered there in reality, attracting the clients this way. This tactic is very wide-spread according to the research. But even if the profiles belong to really existing members, there is no guarantee that they will tell everything the way it is.
