Online dating, despite all its shortcomings, remains relevant and is used by the widest sections of the population.
If you know what pitfalls this area of relationships hides, you can save time, and maybe even money.
Let's find out who is called a catfisher in the world of online dating, what they do and what threat they pose.
Catfishing
This is no longer a novelty. Fraudsters who want to get rich at the expense of single women, mostly living abroad, resort to such methods of dating.
They often introduce themselves as retired officers, military doctors, or inconsolable rich widowers who want to move to the lady of their hearts from afar.
For a lonely, trusting woman, meeting such a young man is fraught with wasted time and financial losses.
Signs
1. They seem simply perfect for living together. Even if they don’t ask you for money for moving or an urgent operation, they are probably communicating with you in order to while away a sad evening.
2. They often avoid meetings and come up with reasons that prevent the long-awaited meeting.
3. They do not hide their feelings and confess their love after just a week of communicating on social networks.
4. Take a closer look at the photos on his account. They will most likely be high-quality works by a professional photographer, and the main character in them will have a model appearance.
And the last thing. You can clear the chat and block the womanizer as soon as he asks for a photo in a swimsuit or something similar.
Often such footage is used for subsequent blackmail.
