Stay Away from Suspicious Profiles
There are countless shady profiles online, not only on dating sites, and you should do your best to stay away from them. Of course, there are a few exceptions, but if the pictures look like they’re from a professional photoshoot, you should be careful and make sure the other person is real before moving forward.
Likewise, you should stay away from profiles with no picture, no bio, or other social media accounts. Not only do they look shady, but you also won’t know if you’re talking to a real person.
If you decide to talk to them, make sure they’re who they say they are and they’re from the right place. If they say they’re from the US, but they don’t speak English very well, they might be trying to catfish you. This term is used when someone online tells you they’re someone else, so you get interested in them. They might use this to try to get something out of you or just to trick you.
