Scams and Fraud on Dating Sites

It is a sad fact that there are individuals out there who prey on vulnerable people on dating sites. So, how can you stop yourself from becoming a victim of dating site scams when looking for a companion, partner or potential spouse whilst online dating?

The main problem when using these type of sites is that you can never be certain whether or not you can trust someone that you are getting to “know” when using the service.

The increasing prevalence of

Online Dating Site Scams

It is important to trust your gut in these situations.

Online dating scams have risen in prevalence over the last few years with almost 4,000 people reporting cases of fraud on dating sites in 2016 with the total lost to dating site scams reaching around £39 million. The police, however, believes that this figure is under-represented due to an number of individuals not reporting incidents due to embarrassment. Our team of professional private investigators will help you get down to the bottom of the case by conducting a detailed background check on your request.

Don’t get caught out.

Discreet Background Checking & Vetting

Our private investigators will ensure that our checking and vetting is completed with absolute discretion and professionalism ensuring that the individual/s in question will never be aware of the investigation, at ANY stage.

Comprehensive Background Checks

We do not restrict our checks to simple database searches. Our comprehensive background check service is designed to give you the information you require. Our private investigators will check for fake profiles amongst other things whilst performing their investigations, helping you to avoid falling for even the cleverest of dating site scams.

Our aim is to provide you with the information you require, to enable you to make an informed decision regarding the individual in question.

Online Dating Fraud

Scammers use photos of models on their fake profiles

A scammer will often ask for your email address right away, or give you theirs. They want to communicate off the dating site as soon as possible.

The scammer will have a hard luck story, they make you feel sorry for them, and they ask for help or money, or get you to offer it because you are ‘such a nice person’.

The scammer may offer you money. They will do this to gain your trust. They will send counterfeit checks which will eventually bounce at your bank and get you into trouble.

The member is from your country but travels for their job (working an oil rig, buying antiques, etc.). They have lost their ID and money and have been arrested or injured and urgently need money to get back home – this is quite common.

These are just a few of the potential warning signs but by no means are we suggesting that EVERY contact you make is a scammer. However, we will be able to confirm if they are BEFORE you make any type of commitment to them and most certainly BEFORE you arrange any kind of meeting.

Worried your partner may be cheating on you? We also conduct investigations to catch a cheating partner.
