Therefore, if you are also using a dating app, then keep in mind these 5 intelligent things so that you do not get caught in a cheating trap.
Avoid sharing personal information
Talking to someone unknown online, do not give your home address, mobile number, bank details or office information at all. If this information is found in the hands of a wrong person, then he can misuse him like stealing or chasing identity.
Identify ‘Red Flags’ hidden in the conversation
If someone expresses love very quickly, avoid video calls, or try to get sympathy by creating an emotional excuse, then be cautious. Many fake profiles try to win confidence by playing similar emotional games.
Do not blindly trust
Search the reverse image of the match photo and check social media profiles. If the person in front is hesitant to share its social media or is not having mail, then it is a big alarm.
Help money? Never

Report and block fake profiles
All apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and Quackquack have options to report and block. If a profile looks suspicious like fake photos, show more love, hide the real identity, then report immediately. With this you can keep yourself and others safe.
Online dating can become a great experience for you but only when you are alert. These tips will not only protect you from scam but will also help in creating reliable connections. Look for love, but with understanding.
