Avoiding problems

• If you are suspicious of a person or if someone asks you for money, use common sense and then report the situation to us by using the "Report Abuse" icon located on the member's profile or by using the online support request form.


• We do not validate the identity of a member or the information that they submit on a profile. Although we take steps to eliminate any suspect members, it is not possible to be 100% sure that all members will be honest and truthful in their dealings with other members. Be alert and use common sense when communicating with other members.


• NEVER send money to anyone who you met online, but have not yet met in person.

• Take your time to get the know the person. Proceed one step at a time and at your own pace.


• If dating a person located in a foreign country be aware of cultural differences and take the time to learn the culture and understand the other persons expectations about the relationship. Spend as much time together as is possible getting to know the person, don't just rely on email and instant messaging.

• Each year hundreds of people on our web sites meet their spouse and live a happy, loving life together. Before you get engaged, take the time to consider what could go wrong and know your rights.


• Getting married is one of the most important decisions in your life and not something that should be rushed.


• Make sure that you know as much as possible about your partner before getting engaged.


• Get to know your partner's friends and family, in some countries when you marry someone you also "marry" their family.


• If you are getting engaged to someone from another country then you should take additional steps to familiarize yourself with your rights regarding domestic violence, abuse and divorce in your partners country. Many countries including the USA, Australia etc have laws that protect the visa status of foreign women who are unfortunate to marry or become engaged to an abusive or violent partner. This means that you can usually seek help for problems related to domestic violence while maintaining your legal right to remain in the country.


• In the event of divorce courts in many countries such as the USA, UK, Australia etc will consider the equitable distribution of all marital assets based on a variety of factors. You should therefore consider how you may be affected in the event of divorce.
