1.  Don’t give out your personal information, such as social security number or bank account numbers, until you have established trust with someone.
2.  Be wary of any emails from people claiming to be members of the opposite sex who ask for money.
3.  Use caution when meeting up with strangers and always take public transportation or other forms of transportation instead of driving yourself.
4.  Research potential partners before meeting them and try to find out more about their background and interests.
