    About this ebook

    We live in times, where people have less and less free time. Either school, work, or other everyday life's activities, we simply have no more time for social or love life. That's why more and more people go online and try to pursue their dating goals on online dating sites. These sites can be a fun and sometimes even thrilling experience, but how safe and effective are they?

    This book will explain how dating sites and other related services work, how they scam you, how to protect yourself online and much more. When you'll finish reading this book, you'll be well prepared for your online dating experience. I have included all possible ways to date online effectively, to recognise common tips and tricks scammers tend to use and many scenarios that go with this online endeavour.

    As an online dating expert, I stand by my findings and altough some sites will probably hate me for writing this book, my only goal is to protect inexperienced people from being scammed, or maybe even worse. I really hope that my work will benefit you and help you stay safe while browsing for love online. I wish you all the best!
