Dating Agency Pitfalls

Take a look at the following article from CNN.

(CNN) — Looking for love this Valentine’s day? Make sure Cupid’s arrow doesn’t hit your wallet.

That’s exactly what happened to Kim Kossie, a single woman in Houston, Texas. Kossie joined an online Christian dating site after a friend recommended it. She thought she had met the man of her dreams … an artist from London.

“He sent these wonderful pictures. This guy was quoting scripture. We were praying everyday,” she says. “It was almost like a dream guy.”

They talked on the phone several times a day, everyday. He was engaging. He gave great advice. He was even supposed to visit her parents in Houston. But then, he started asking for money, with promises to pay her back. In two months, Kossie wired him a total of $2,000. Not to mention the phone bill she was stuck with for $1,500. To this day she has not seen him — or her money.

And sadly, Kossie isn’t alone. Complaints against matchmaking services and online dating sites are at an all-time high according to a February report from the Better Business Bureau. In fact, complaints have risen 73 percent in 2006 from the previous year. This year complaints are on track to reach record breaking levels.

The US government consumer protection agency warned Americans on Tuesday to be on the lookout for online dating scams.

"In a typical scenario, the scam artist creates a fake profile, gains the trust of an online love interest, and then asks that person to wire money -- usually to a location outside the United States," the FTC said.

#1: Info : The latest in online dating? Ideas instead of posed profiles
 

Sure, Amir seemed great in his online dating profile: a dentist and recreational snowboarder with adorable, non-ironic facial hair, but he was a total bore on that first dinner date. (Really? Red Lobster?)

 

Anyone who’s registered with a dating site can tell you how often those matches who seem so promising online end up being duds IRL (in real life).

The folks behind HowAboutWe, a newly-launched dating service profiled by Mashable have designed a solution to that problem: forget about those vanity profile pictures shot in front of the mirror or those contrived lists of favourite activities, users choose their matches based on the dates they propose.

 

The site is of the same vein as Alikewise, where you can look for matches based on book tastes.

 

One 32-year-old male Torontonian and user of HowAboutWe offers: How about we... pretend we're tourists in our own city and go see the sights we've been meaning to...but haven't yet.

 

A 25-year-old woman from Montreal suggests: How about we... go skiing for a day and learn to know each other on the lift

#1: Info : A Russian Woman Corresponding on the Internet
 

I was at an Internet cafe the other day and noticed something worth sharing with you.

Seated next to me in the next computer cubicle was a very lovely lady in her mid 20′s.

Now because we were seated so closely to each other and because there was only a tiny partition between each cubicle… Everyone could easily see what everybody else was doing.

Now let me say first off that I respect people’s privacy but when you are in this situation it’s pretty hard NOT to see what the other person is doing on their computer.

Anyways this lady was busy navigating her way through an American dating site and corresponding with a gentlemen who had listed his profile online.

Now even though I personally believe that there is no real substitute for actually going out into the world and meeting prospective dates in person..

I’m not blind to the fact that this is still a positive thing since the spread of the internet gives a growing number of these ladies more chances to expand their relationship choices beyond their hometown.
