Online dating scams are everywhere, and fake dating profiles are the easiest way to scam someone!

In a world where convenience is the name of the game, doing things online is getting more sensible and practical. The web makes it very easy for people to do almost everything with just a few clicks. From sending mails to shopping to finding a partner using online dating, almost all of our activities now revolve around the use of the internet. But just like any other business, online dating is not free of scammers. Social networking and online dating sites are quite popular among hackers and scammers. According to specialist Dr Jonas LaForge (B.Sc.), these crooks know that a lot of people log in to these sites and the probability of someone falling for their prey is very high. They usually do this by creating fake dating profiles and sending messages to unsuspecting members either to hook up with them or just milk cash from them. Outlined below are some ways to know if the person you are thinking of dating is real or is just a figment of your imagination, my friend.

Deception 101: It’s in the photo

If it’s too good to be true, it probably is!

Looking at the photo of your prospective date, you would think that you got an award of some sort. Dating someone whose face is angelic and a body to die for, you think you just won the lottery. But wait, before you get any further with those wild dreams, think again. When you go to websites to meet women, the first thing that you get to judge are the pictures of the members. Those with fake dating profiles would usually post a picture in a compromising pose or in a very unusual setting. Girls who are serious about dating would normally post a picture or two of themselves in normal surroundings. Bogus members post pictures of someone else as if it were them. So if you want to make sure that the picture of the girl you’re interested to date is genuine, you can search for the same picture online and see if the search generates a number of matches. If it does then most likely it is not her… and it means you might want to keep your options open. It is already a given that guys would crave for physically attractive women; but then again, they also want somebody who is real and not a poser.

Check their profiles for deceptive clues

People who register on dating websites to meet women are those who do not want to waste their time. They want to meet someone with the same values, interests as theirs in the soonest time possible. Hence, they want to make sure that only those “compatible” to them will contact them. The best way to do this is to provide the most comprehensive profile so that the dating website can match them correctly. People who are serious about meeting someone for keeps would take the time to complete the questions that are normally asked when signing up at an online dating website. Scammers are not very keen in answering those, and can be caught easily. Incomplete dating profiles would somehow give you an idea that the person behind the profile pic is not really serious about signing up for an online dating. And if you are already in to the stage of having a series of conversations with your prospect, you may want to ask questions about the things she posted on her page. You can ask the same questions several times at different occasions to confirm if the information listed on the profile matches her answers. This would give you an idea as to how consistent she is when being asked and this would also confirm her sincerity when she answered those questions.

Spell it out – properly!

Terrible english is a surefire way to tell a scammer online!

There are a lot of fake dating websites that are created in other countries wherein English is not widely used. When you visit websites to meet women, you will be able to tell whether it’s a site full of fake profiles or not by just checking out the grammar and spelling of the information listed on the profile, or the website itself. It may sound a little discriminating, but the thing is the latest survey shows that quite a number of these fake dating sites have one thing in common and that is a terrible use of the English language. So before giving out any of your details, check how they described themselves on their sites, their grammar, vocabulary etc. and this can save you a whole lot of time and energy.

Face to face meetings: they trump chat every time!

In online dating, you won’t know for sure whether the person is telling you the truth or not while chatting. The true test of sincerity is when she is already willing to be seen on cam or face to face. Those folks with fake profiles would almost always pass up on the chance to be seen on the cam or would always come up with reasons to avoid it. Whether they don’t want to be seen because of plain timidity, or they’re just afraid that you will find out that everything about them was a lie, the intent to deceive you is there.

Real dates will give you a good way to evaluate a real person.

Choose the best dating website

Online dating starts with finding the right site to join. More often than not, fake profiles are found in fake dating websites. One way to find legitimate websites is to look for those with subscription fee and with a considerable number of members. Scammers aim to get money from their prospective victims. Signing up for those that would require them to shell out some money as subscription fee would somehow defeat their purpose. Be wary of dating sites with very few members and very few ads. Reputable dating sites such as match.com have ads even in television to invite more people to sign up with. You have to make sure that you only join the legitimate websites to meet women and not fall for someone you might not be able to see or hear from after all.

Don’t fall for liars and deception online. Be mindful of who you talk to!

In as much as we want to live in a perfect world, that wouldn’t be possible. In a world full of lies, deception is not unusual. Whether it is as big as bribing money from your date or altering some of your personal information so you would be more “acceptable” in the eyes of other people, deception is still deception. Even the smallest lie can destroy a friendship, a relationship, and trust between two people. What is sad about it is that one cannot guarantee if a broken trust can still be mended. At least once in our lives we will encounter this kind of people. Though this is the case, we are not bound to be controlled by them. Since it is quite impossible to eradicate all of them in this world, we should at least know how to spot fraudulent people. Remember that any operator of websites to meet women will tell you that it’s one of the “best places to meet girls online”; so try to go for trusted resources like those at meeting-women-online.com (a team of guys that continuously test online dating sites) to find out about whether the “top dating sites” you’re about to join is for real.

We should know when a profile is real or not. From there, we would know who to trust or who to keep out of our lives. Not only are we going to save our time and effort, we are also going to save ourselves from getting hurt. Online dating is a game of chance. And like any game, there are certain rules to play and strategies to espouse so that at the end of the day you won’t find yourself at the losing end.

Apple: What’s Next For The Technology Giant In Palo Alto

By | Published March 7, 2013

The New Retina Display.

 

Over the last few years, Apple has always managed to keep ahead of the competition and have products that are instantly popular and they fly off the shelves.

The latest thing that is going to keep Apple at the top of the technology tree is the display on the new iPad. It is so clear that you will feel that you are not looking at photographs on a screen but viewing them directly, you won.t be reading an ebook, but will have the book itself in your hands. To make sure that using the iPad provides the best experience ever, the display is now the best on the market. Add to this the fact that the camera is also much better, and it really is the best tablet on the market.

It is called the Retina display and there are 4 times as many pixels here than were on the iPad 2. There has not been a display before that has been able to present such clear and dramatic pictures.

Apple have always made sure that their devices were provided with good displays and by including so many pixels in the one screen – there are now 3.1 million pixels on the screen that at 9.7inches is the same as the previous model – it is bound to give a better quality experience. As there is also 44% higher colour saturation and a 2048 x 1536 resolution. To put it in perspective, the new iPad has a million more pixels than the average HD TV.

If you are not interested in the technical side, but just want to know what this new development means to you, then it means that there are no gaps between the pixels that can be seen by the human eye so there is no distortion of the picture or game that is on the screen.

If you are interested in the technical side, the display is created in a totally different way to previous displays to prevent the pixels getting crossed wires and lighting up at the wrong time. The Apple engineers have provided a new plane for the pixels and they are no longer on the same level as the signals.

The key to this is the A5X chip that manages to provide this excellent level of graphics and not diminish the battery life. This chip is so advanced that it can power every one of the pixels and gives a great experience whether you are editing a picture or just scrolling down the screen.

Cheating and women. What you need to know!

By | Published March 6, 2013

Women are annoying. It has been researched and studied that women tend to be cranky most of their times during a day where as men would stay calm and collected and would make themselves busy with their chores. Men have the ability to hold their anger and tears and even think rational in any situation. Most men are not like that, busy usually they are. When it comes to women, all we need is emotions and the constant feeling of security. Few women make their own world but most women tend to fall into easy traps that for the short term seem heaven. When we tend to fall into heaven, that heaven is termed as cheating. As a wife, we know that our world end at the home where our children and husband are. But, something just goes wrong and we go out to hunt for love.

For women love has a deeper meaning. Love means feeling beautiful inside and feeling wanted from the husband. But when we see that our husbands have gone distant with us in our marriage we feel the hit of lack of sexual relationship. Food for men is sex and food for women is love and emotions. But, our emotions are also linked to our sex cells and not only our heart. We would give up anything to make our husband happy, but we would feel torn when he would not return it back. Sex makes the relation of a man and wife more pure, divine and long lasting. It is like a constant blessing for both. But what if we are deprived of the blessing just because our man is tired from work or if he visits home thrice a month? Men leave women when they are deprived of sexual activities, but can’t women do that as well?

It might sound desperate, but women are even made up of cells that want to feel the pleasure of sex. If we do not get if from our man, a time will come when we will betray our man just for seeking the same pleasure from another man and eventually cheat in our relationship. We even want a man to fulfill our fantasies and make women feel beautiful and satisfy our hunger for warmth and protection. This is how we fall into the hands of cheating. We have a heart that just wants to be loved. And when love is concerned we do mean money but above all we want our emotions to taken care of. The man who does that we easily and blindly walk towards him.

Don't cheat with your husband

Don’t cheat with your husband

Once something happens to us, we always remember it. If we get to know our husband cheated on us and is enjoying life regardless of the fact that we are waiting for him at home, cooking food, washing dishes and looking after children and he just goes on and cheats us, we make sure to do the same with him. Even if deep inside, our heart does not allow it; we would still take the risk and cheat our man. This would give us some satisfaction and even a great time with a man who would love us the way we want to be loved.

Why Relationships Fail: Behind the Glitz and Glamour of a Celebrity

By | Published March 1, 2013

It is shocking to see the number of break ups in the news today about celebrities. It makes us wonder what could be the reason for such fall outs. The answer is staring right at our face.

It is important to understand that you need to figure out your expectations from your partner and others in your life. After you have given yourself priority, it is time to figure out the type of partner or person you want in your life.

It is important to have a clear picture about the sort of person you’d want to spend the rest of your life with. If you meet people and fall for just about anyone then it will only result in unsuccessful attempts and heartache. Don’t fall for the first person who gives you attention. He or she may seem appealing but the truth is that this person may not be ‘the one’. You will only know when you have understood what exactly you want.

That is a difficult task and almost a dilemma for most. What do we want? We think of so many qualities in different people and we think that if only all of them were in one individual. All of us want the whole package. But what is the whole package? Is it a physical thing? Is it an emotional thing? No one really knows. What we can rely on is our gut instinct. Learn to develop your sixth sense. All of us have it and we must be honest with ourselves when we are trying to figure this out.

Learn to develop your sense

Learn to develop your sense

Be honest with yourself when you feel attracted to a person. Is it because he or she is good looking or is it because of a connection or bond? Which ever works for you, you should immediately pursue it. Go for the bond. Do not be superficial. It is always the connection that takes you through a successful relationship. So don’t let your self be carried away with just a physical attraction. Assess the person carefully before plunging in.

Rejection will be a part of life and the only way to overcome it is to learn from the mistakes and not repeat them again. Do repeat the same mistakes with different people. Learn about your expectations from the previous failures and then plunge in with your fingers crossed. Hopefully, the next one is ‘the one’ for you.
