1. Stick With Your Best Judgement
While Muslim Dating.net is monitoring all account activity and routinely investigates all unusual, or just inappropriate and falsified accounts, we cannot conduct criminal background checks or really anything of the sort. As with most any time there is a personal communication, please keep in the back of your mind that people can, and are able to misrepresent themselves. When you are evaluating someone's honesty, don't ingore facts that seem "off". You need to trust you gut feelings and realize that you certainly do have control over the entire situation. If you are speaking with someone you've met here online, or by phone and they things that are makign you suspicious that they are not whom they say, consider ending the conversations. Much like if you were out on a date, and something wasn't right, you would likely just leave.
Here are some common "red flags":
2. Financial and personal information should NEVER be shared.
NEVER offer your credit card or banking info.
NEVER give out your SIN or even your mother's maiden name, as this is often used to reset passwords.
NEVER wire transfer and send money of any kind to someone you have just met.
If anyone is trying to trick or manipulate you into giving any financial info, end your conversation immediately.
3. Protect Your Account
When you are going to go into your Muslim Dating.net account, be aware of your surrounding particularly if you are on a public access computer. With your second hand, cover up the typing hand when you are entering your password, for example.
4. Exercise caution when sharing personal info.
We must once again remind you to be so very cautious when sharing any sort of personal info that could tell the would-be fraudster your real identity. For instance you should never include any correspondance with you last name, email, address, phone number or workplace or any other info that could identify you. We have set up our system so that you can be secure and completely anonymous through the entire communication process. Resist the urge to give out things like your phone number right away, no matter how strong you feel you are connecting with your partner. Remember, once you give out a piece of personal info, you can't simply take it back.
Making a phone call to your new friend is an serious and important step in finding out more about eachother. That being said, before you share anything, you should have had a discussion regarding the need for both of you to respect the other's privacy. One suggestion is to come up with an agreement that in the event things don't work out, that you both will not use eacother's phone numbers to go after the other. Also, don't forget you likely have access to features on your phone that can block the caller ID.
5. Do the research for yourself
There are certain pre-screening tools that we use on our end, please remember that our screenings our quite limited. The databases we cross-check can often be incomplete or not even accurate. Also, certain states have differing opinions on what types of crimes are put into their databases. There are several types of crimes that many times are unreported, and the suspects are not always found. We must urge you not to rely solely on our screening process, as this could create a false sense of being safe. Follow all safety tips at all times.
No matter how strong you've developed feelings with any of your matches, we must so strongly encourage you to research on your own before meeting this individual in person. Things you can do include contacting your local municipaltiies to obtain public access information. If you do anything at all, please use common sense. Watch for unusual details someone shares with you. If something is just not making sense, follow your gut feeling and stop communicating with that person.
6. Exercise caution before clicking on any link you're sent.
It's quite likely that your partner will share a web link with you to their favorite site, as part of getting to know you. However, please be careful and use good judgement and be cautios when deciding to click on anything that is sent to you at all. We must remind you that clicking on an outside link to an outside site is done at your own risk.

Please use our anonymous email system for as long as you deem necessary so that you can find out as much as you need to know about your potential new relationship.

9. Always show respect and kindness.
Treat the people you communicate with as you would also want to be treated in return. Look, not every match is going to be the perfect one, so if you want to stop communicating with someone, or if they want to stop talking with you, please realize that this is a healthy part of the process.
