Chatting Safe
In this type of scam, the fraudsters usually lure the web surfer to a website that seems real and legitimate but is set up to steal personal details, passwords, etc. This is often used for identity theft as well. The common guise for phishing these days seems to be to “confirm your identity”. You might receive emails pretending to be from your bank or any institution asking you to click on a link so you can confirm your identity. But this link does not lead to the actual website but will instead redirect you to a fake website cloned to look like the original. This information in the hands of scammers puts you at risk of potentially losing thousands of dollars. BondedSingles Information security measures are taken to protect you from receiving private links preventing unauthorized access to your inbox, passwords, viruses, hackers, and False IP is immediately detected. We use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol, which transforms your data into an encrypted code that cannot be read during transmission.
More irritating than dangerous, spamming is the act of sending unwanted commercial advertising material as electronic junk mail, known as spam. BondedSingles Advanced Spam Security Software helps to identify all spam junk mail and also prevents it from delivering, by blocking it before it gets to the recipient. Hopefully, you will have set up a separate email account for online dating use, as advised before Registering, so it will be easy to quarantine the spammer’s emails. Otherwise, most email service providers have so-called junk filters or spam blockers to keep the trash out of your inbox, but in most cases, they still go through, and that’s another reason why we still have more bad guys online who are outside the dating world. Our software is up to date, with assurance your profile account is secured. Soliciting is the act of urging someone to buy something. If you’re being spammed or solicited by someone you’ve met through another online service, cease contact with that person, block and report their behavior as inappropriate before it gets out of handling.
Do not post or share any personal information and details with anyone, no matter how safe you think it might be. Bank account details, a credit card number, or a social security or tax file number are often all a thief needs for fraud.
If you are talking to someone on the phone, get to know them before you give them your cell phone number. Identity thieves have been known to use home and work phone numbers in reverse phone directories to reveal addresses etc. so it’s probably best you get to know someone a little before you share your contact details with them.
Keep a log of your chat or IM sessions wherever possible, just in case you need it in the future.
Do not entertain any requests to cash a cashier’s check as these checks are usually fake and as a victim, you not only lose your money but could also reveal sensitive personal information to the scammer.
Monitor your credit reports regularly to ensure there has been no unusual activity on your account. You can also freeze your report so credit issuers can only access your report when you permit them to do so.
If you receive emails, text messages, or phone calls asking you for sensitive information, make sure you double-check with the bank or financial institution as they will usually not ask for sensitive information over the phone.
Use a locked mailbox so your mail cannot be stolen and make sure you shred paper before you throw it in the garbage.
