Try to see your online "date" over the webcam if possible.

At least you know you will be chatting to someone who is who they say they are............
I saw a BBC programme last year in teh UK about online scams. These were Aficans turning it into a village industry using photographs of white male models.
What amazed me was the some woman in the USA fell for it and sent the requested airfare so he could fly to meet her !
