Safe online dating practices
- Keep your full name, address, and workplace private until you have met in person
- Use a dating-specific email address that does not include your name
- Do a reverse image search on profile photos before investing emotionally
- Video call before any real-world meeting — scammers avoid video
- Never send money to someone you have not met in person
- Tell a trusted person about anyone you are talking to online
How to do a reverse image search
- Right-click their profile photo and select "Search image with Google"
- Or go to images.google.com and upload the photo
- If the same photo appears under many different names, it is stolen
What to do if you suspect a romance scammer
- Stop all communication immediately
- Do not feel ashamed — these are professional manipulators
- Report the profile to the dating platform
