New Hazards To Avoid On Online Dating Service For Muslims

By Joshua Graham


The internet has made it easy for Muslims to find life partners and companions from around the world. In fact, the partner could be a click away on your mobile phone. However, online dating service for Muslims comes with own risks. Here is expert advice on risks inherent on the web and how to avoid them.

Beware of identity theft. This is a fast growing and mutating fraud trick over the internet. People pick names and pictures of others and use them to impersonate owners. You will be engaging in conversations only to realize that the person you are chatting with is not the real one. The imposters proceed to harass you or ask for secret meetings. Never agree to such a meeting because you will be falling prey to predators. Research on the person and the things he or she claims to be associated with.

Bullying is also common over the web and is getting worse by the day. After a few engagements, the person begins to insult and threaten you. It is advisable that you report the account immediately. Further, do not share inappropriate images or engage in risky conversations on the internet. They make you vulnerable to blackmail.

Fraud is getting rampant by the day. It takes the form of a stranger asking for money or your account and credit card details. The fraudsters will use hidden tricks to ask for money. Do not send money to anyone you have met over internet. Do not share your personal finance details over the internet for whatever reason. Do not even enter such details on any website or portal that you may be asked to. This is the manifestation of fraud.

Sexual predation is becoming rampant over the web. It could also be predation by criminals and psychopaths with the intention to harm. The people are pretenders waiting for an opportunity to attack. Only engage in official communication on the platform. When it is time to meet, it should be during the day and at a public place. Sexual activities increase your exposure to diseases and harassment. Wait until the relationship has advanced reasonably.

Use a friend to check your activities online. People get excited when in love to the extent of doing crazy things. The entry of your friend will enable you to make sober decisions. Your friend should also approve your first date and be aware of all details in case it gets unsafe.

The first date is a defining moment for your relationship. It determines whether you drop out or continue with the relationship. Keep the meeting point public and never dare to meet anyone you have barely interacted with. Never take the person home or go to his home. Even showing him the address is not advisable.

An open mind will make online dating exciting and successful. Hold your level of attachment and keep your guards up. Walk away and report any suspicious activity involving a person you meet online. Keep away from alcohol because it will impair your judgment. All correspondence should be done on official sites to avoid breach.
