In the last few years, the consumption of the internet has increased a lot. Now people have started doing almost all their work sitting at home using the internet. Earlier people used to go out and meet people and make friends. But now dating apps have come for this. No one needs to go anywhere. People become friends sitting at home. Some of these friendships are genuine, while some are scams.
Because no one knows with what intention who has come on dating apps. In the recent past, many people have cheated many people by using dating apps. So many people have committed serious crimes with the help of dating apps. Let us tell you how you can avoid getting trapped in the trap of dating apps.
Cheating with people trapped in the web of love
The craze of dating apps has increased a lot among the youth these days. And especially all the people of Gen Z generation living in metro cities have dating apps on their phones. There are many types of dating apps available in the market. These include apps like Tinder, Bumble, Happen Isle, Adventure Seeking, Badoo, Zoosk, Match, Once, Huggle, The League, Okcupid and Leslie. While youth find love online using these apps, many thugs plan to cheat the youth with a complete plan. These include both boys and girls.
Using dating apps, they do sextortion, blackmail, and call the girl to meet in a restaurant and make her pay a hefty bill. It has been seen many times that the girl has called the boy to meet in a restaurant. And there, on ordering two or three things, the restaurant owner makes a bill of up to 50-60 thousand. When the boy feels like it, he is threatened and money is forcibly taken from him.
How to avoid such fraudsters
By the way, social media should be used with a lot of caution these days. On the other hand, if you are using a dating app, then you need to be doubly cautious. Because many boys and girls use dating apps only for cheating.
Some dating apps like Tinder do ID verification along with face verification to check the authenticity of people. So that people's identity can be proved and no one can run a fake account. In apps that have verification facility, then you should talk to verified profiles only.
Apart from this, do not go to meet if someone calls you in the first conversation itself. First talk, exchange numbers, do a video call and when you are completely satisfied, then only go to meet. And go to meet at your chosen place. Because in many cases it has been seen that girls are in cahoots with the restaurant owners. And together they execute the scam.
Do not send nude photos even by mistake.
Nowadays, after a little conversation on dating apps, boys and girls forget all limits in the name of love. Which they not only regret later. But also have to bear huge losses. Many times boys and girls who are in a relationship. Send nude photos to each other. Which are later used for sextortion. Always keep this in mind, never send your nude photos or semi-nude photos.
