If asked don't reveal your personal contact information

To make all our members aware of such characters we STRONGLY recommend that, upon receipt of our contact message notification email, you do not reveal your personal contact information, Instant Messenger, (or add their IM) email, telephone numbers, any bank details etc, and if you've not got Instant Messenger never get talked into downloading, particularly Yahoo IM as normally this is what they will be using, but use your NewFriends4U Messages Box until you feel it is safe to do so.
NEVER reveal your personal contact information on your displayed profile/page.

If someone you were communicating with no longer exists in your message box this would either indicate that they have deleted their profile from our system, but as they were communicating with you, this would normally indicate that our system detected them or we were advise by other member/s that they were abusing our service and removed.

If you know of anyone misusing our service please advise us immediately by contacting us so we can quickly investigate and remove them from our database to prevent any further communication with any of our other members.

How to spot a scammer and avoid Internet dating scams:

2) Scammers write in poor, broken English, use attractive photos, or flattery, to fool you.

3) Scammers ask for money or help moving money for personal reason or family or business claiming that they need money so they can get a visa and flight ticket to come and visit the person who sent them the money.

4) The joy of giving and feeling you have helped somebody can bring a great joy to some people and this is something many scammers exploit.

There is a simple rule to follow when dealing with people online who are asking for money. Don’t send it!

5) Look out for people who reply to your messages but do not include any reference to what you have written and do not answer your questions in their messages. They may be sending pre-written messages.

6) You should also be suspicious about messages saying they viewed your profile and are interested in marriage with you because not many people will introduce them self and ask for your hand in marriage.

7) Men, don't be a chump, is some outrageously-beautiful young woman  going to develop a relationship interest with a man 20-40 years her senior. Don't allow yourself to be 'in love with the idea of being in love'. This requires real people who know each other and takes time to develop. Anything less is most likely just a pipe dream for a guy who wants to recapture his youth.

Should you run into a few scammers you will soon get to recognize them and be able to ignore and delete them from your message box.

It is very important that you never send people your personal contact details until you are comfortable you can trust them. If you are suspicious of someone’s behaviour, so we can investigate and remove accounts owned by any unethical users of our site, please only use your NewFriends4U Mailbox.
