The little ones in the place will not believe it but before smartphones existed we used other techniques to flirt such as approaching the guy / girl you liked at the club, asking for his mobile number to text him and even chat with a program that no longer exists. and that it was called MSN Messenger, which was something like WhatsApp but for computer only.
Nowadays, finding our sweetheart is much easier thanks to new technologies and especially to applications such as Tinder, Badoo and many others. You just have to create a good profile, select a good photo and insist until you "match" with someone you might like..
Of course, like in any social network, you don't really know who you are talking to on the other side of the screen, so you have to be very careful with the information you provide. In this article we will not teach you how to flirt but you we will advise not to make common mistakes when using this type of application.
Do not provide private data
Tinder is the most popular dating app and this also makes it one of the most dangerous
Meeting someone on a social network like Tinder or Badoo is always exciting, but let's be careful. The girl or guy you are talking to can be really beautiful in the photo but you still don't know if she really exists or otherwise is someone who created a fake account with which to scam someone.
Do not provide information such as names and surnames, where you live, your email address or the name of your social networks the first time you change.
Avoid showing photos of where you live or where you work
If you show how much money you make on social networks ... maybe someone is trying to scam you
A picture is worth a thousand words. Social networks are a perfect place for criminals, especially if their users are the ones who like to show what they have.
Show the neighborhood you live in, the car you own, your job or what you earn it can be the trigger for a thief or scammer to keep an eye on you.
Use alternate email accounts and passwords
Using the same email account and password in the dating app and for the bank might not be the best idea. We recommend that you use email accounts created only for these different types of applications and passwords.
It is not the first time that news has emerged that a dating portal has been hacked, revealing the emails and passwords of thousands of users, so Prevention is better than cure.
Do not provide your social networks to the first contact that requests them
Improperly used social networks are a danger if they are used improperly. In them we not only have a multitude of private photos of us, but also of acquaintances and relatives. In other words, a gold mine for criminals.
Be very careful when sharing social networks in dating apps because you will not only provide a lot of information about yourself to people you don't know yet, but also information from third parties who are not to blame because you don't have common sense.
Use common sense
Use common sense when using Tinder, Badoo, or any other social network.
Last but not least, use common sense. You may think that you have met the most wonderful person in the world, that you have talked to that person for a couple of hours and you think that she is the love of your life, but be very careful.
These types of scammers use messages of a loving nature to gain user trust. They also send him photos of attractive women (usually the victims are men), the all with the aim of obtaining some kind of economic benefit.
So beware if someone asks you for money because they want to travel to meet you, most likely it is a full blown scam. Ignore these types of messages and never share banking or personal information with these fake accounts.
