1. Our Commitment to Your Safety
At Find Her Abroad, we are committed to helping you navigate the world of international dating safely. While the vast majority of Eastern European and Slavic women are genuine, good-hearted individuals looking for love, the online dating world does have risks. This policy outlines how we approach safety and how you can protect yourself.
2. Educational Focus
We do not operate a dating site, and therefore we do not vet individual users on third-party platforms. Our role is to educate you on the red flags and safety protocols necessary when meeting women online or traveling abroad.
3. Common Scams to Avoid (Red Flags)
We encourage our readers to stay vigilant against common dating scams, including but not limited to:
- The Visa/Money Request: Someone you have never met in person asks for money for a “medical emergency,” “visa application,” “travel expenses,” or “phone credit.”
- The Sob Story: Early in communication, the individual shares a tragic story designed to elicit sympathy and financial support.
- Reluctance to Video Chat: A person who always has an excuse not to video call or meet in person may not be who they claim to be.
- Translators and Third Parties: If communication is always managed by a “translator” or “friend” who handles financial requests, this is a major red flag.
4. Our Advice for Safe Dating
- Never Send Money: Never send money to someone you have not met in person.
- Verify Identity: Use video calls early and often to verify that the person matches their photos.
- Do Your Research: Be wary of profiles that seem too good to be true or move the conversation toward commitment too quickly.
- Meet Safely: If you travel to meet someone, always keep your own accommodation, keep your passport secure, let friends/family know your itinerary, and meet in public places.
5. Reporting Scams
If you believe you have encountered a scam or fraudulent profile via a platform mentioned on our site, please report it to the dating platform immediately. You can also report internet crime to local authorities or organizations e.g., IC3 in the US.
6. No Liability
Find Her Abroad is not responsible for the conduct of any user on a third-party dating site. We provide education to help you make informed decisions, but your safety is ultimately your responsibility.
