Dating Sites Dirty Tricks Exposed

If you want to experience internet dating then you should be aware of a few underhanded practices that some dating sites are known to use .

1. Displaying Fake Profiles in Your Local Area

Some dating sites determine your actual location through your computer’s IP address and then promote some fake profiles, which are supposed to be   “members” in your area . Enticing, indeed , but unprofessional as with those fake profiles you’ll be extremely unlikely to hook up with those members inside .

2. Giving Free Memberships With Limited Functionality

A favorite trick is to invite you to accept a “totally free membership”. Yup , that is what they do . And indeed it might be free. But once they have your personal details then you discover that the basic membership they offered you does not permit you to see much information in other members’ profiles, or will not allow you to view photos , or does not permit you to contact other members in any way. What a heap of fun that’s going to be! Compare that to dating sites that are really totally free dating sites .

3. Sending Alerts or Email Messages From Fake Profiles

Here is another dirty trick that some dating sites employ and this one works really well when combined with the crippled functionality trick mentioned earlier. Once you have the free membership with limited functionality, they commence sending you a series of messages alerting you that “Someone has sent you a wink” or “ Somebody wants to meet you” or hook up with you.

Great , right ? No. Because you cannot reply unless you upgrade to a higher level of membership, and here is where things gets particularly dirty. You hand over your membership fee and gee – talk about unlucky timing – the potential person of your dreams has just turned off or removed their profile. A coincidence? No. In many cases it’s simply an automated scam operated by the site to get you to upgrade your account .

And that’s only a few of the unethical tricks that some dating sites get up to.

So if you want to experience online dating go ahead . There are some great opportunities to meet some wonderful and interesting people online. Just don’t get ripped off by any of the site’s dirty tricks.

And keep in mind , not all internet dating websites are out to cheat you.
