There seems be a major hurdle in the elusive search for that perfect partner- modern technology! Potential online suitors have been warned about the burgeoning risks of identity theft and scams, while searching for love online, reports BitDefender UK. Before subscribing to any of the various dating sites, users are advised to look for website reviews or seek advice from trustworthy people who have used that particular site before. It's always better not to subscribe to a dating service that you come upon via spam e-mails, which could result in identity theft.
It is strongly advised that online daters use sites with strong privacy policies, thereby ensuring a sturdy bulwark against the risk of their identity being stolen.

Users can also keep safe by giving out as little private details as possible and through the additional ruse of using nicknames or aliases rather than their real names.
Users can also use an alternative email account, leaving out their personal and professional accounts, for additional security. It'll also help if suitors do not reveal their private or work addresses or locations and National Insurance numbers. And above all, be extremely chary about sharing your bank details as this can be used by clever cyber-criminals to their own advantage.
Now we know why they told us the path to true love was never smooth!
