Online Love Scam: Free Meals

Scam Likelihood: Depends
Targets: Males


The Story:

As part of the mordern society, you used the internet for almost everything, even dating. Through an online dating site, you got to know a beautiful lady. Everything went extremely well and before you knew it, you were setting up a date.

To impress, you chose the fanciest restaurant in town you can think of and afford for the night. You two met up and had a wonderful night, ending with a kiss. Another date, another fancy restaurant, another kiss.

Things seem to be working out great but it never escalate.


The Catch:

It may just be that she is not into you, but often enough, she is taking advantage of you. It is reported thousands of members of these online dating websites are in it just for the “free food for life” campaign. Some women take this scam a step further and strike a deal with the restaurant to get commission.


The Shield:

Start off with a coffee date, not at some fancy restaurant just to impress. See if things work out. Even if it doesn't, there is no need to burn a hole in your pocket just to try.
