While many people have positive and rewarding experiences with online dating, using caution is the best tool at your disposal. Never take for granted that what someone is telling you is true, simply because they say so. It may sound like a negative way to approach dating, and we hope you are never harmed by another user. But let\u2019s be frank, people are not always who they say they are. Ultimately, your safety should always be a high priority, like it is for us here in helping to keep you safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifestylerz.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/img009.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-396\" width=\"434\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifestylerz.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/img009.jpg 858w, https:\/\/www.lifestylerz.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/img009-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lifestylerz.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/img009-768x452.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 434px) 100vw, 434px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Here&#8217;s a few tips for you to help keep experiences that can be applied online and off  safe. These tips can also be applied to your every day use of the internet, not just for online dating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"protect-your-personal-information\" style=\"color:#154bd2\"><strong>Protect Your Personal Information<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Never\ngive personal information such as your social security number, credit card\nnumber or bank information, or your work or home address to people you don\u2019t\nknow or haven\u2019t met in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"protect-your-finances\" style=\"color:#154bd2\"><strong>Protect Your Finances <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Never respond to any request to send money, especially overseas or by wire transfer, and report it immediately \u2013 even if the person claims to be in an emergency. Wiring money is like sending cash: the sender has no protections against loss and it\u2019s nearly impossible to reverse the transaction or trace the money.

Ask important and pointed questions. Listen carefully to the answers you are receiving. Fact check whenever possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"anti-virus-software\" style=\"color:#154bd2\"><strong>Anti-Virus Software<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Protecting your computer is still a vital part of day to day activity. Many people purchase software to help protect them from phishing scans, malware, ransomware, and of course viruses. But did you know you can also purchase a multi-license package to help protect your mobile devices? We encourage all users to investigate their options to help keep your devices safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"remote-assistance-tech-calls\" style=\"color:#154bd2\"><strong>Remote Assistance &amp; Tech Calls<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Companies like Apple\u00a9 and Microsoft\u00a9 will never directly contact you  with a report of your computer being infected with a virus. Do not give  your personal or financial information to anyone attempting to contact  you via telephone or a message through your computer. It&#8217;s not real! A  contact number on your telephones caller ID may suggest it&#8217;s one of  these companies but based on their published policies, they openly state  it will never happen where they initiate contact.  These elaborate  scams are designed to trick users into giving their debit or credit card  information, then used to make unauthorized charges with it that you  may not be able to get back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">Giving remote access to your computer or devices to someone you do not know personally is also a big no no! By granting this access to an   unknown person or company, you are allowing them to make changes, steal your information, and hold hostage that device until you pay to have it unlocked, or restored.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\">In the event you have accidentally authorized such access, contact your trusted, local repair shop or carrier immediately for assistance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>User safety is a high priority at Lifestylerz!
