Online Dating Site Consistently Halts Fraud Attempts
Thirty-one fraud attempts stopped at Getogethersafe.com.
Miami, FL (PRWEB) May 28, 2005 -– To date, 31 attempts to defraud individuals
have been halted without incident, at Getogethersafe.com (GTS).
The site
contributes their success to many hours of direct communication with victims of
sexual identity falsification, physical assault and dating scams.
After
a comprehensive hands-on three-year study, findings lead to the unprecedented
introduction of criminal investigative tools incorporated into the site, which
uniquely enable clients to screen prospective suitors, prior to a first date.
However, GTS chose to avoid invading someone's personal privacy, by putting
'freedom of choice' back into the hands of their clients. Members can choose to
do the searches, free of charge, but are only allowed specific information which
would keep them safer.
On the site, participants are encouraged to use
law enforcement databases, such as those of the Bureau of Prisons, where records
can be perused for previous criminal interaction of potential suitors. In
addition, automated threat recognition features scan incoming client emails for
keywords, commonly used in illicit scams.
Naturally, GTS did not just
stop at client safety. Long recognized as a pervasive industry problem, false
picture posting is also discouraged through a picture rating 'check and balance'
system. Rating cannot occur until a special client password is supplied,
following a first date. This causes the client to actually have visual contact,
which induces most participants to post real pictures to the site.
In
addition, the ‘Virtual Dating’ feature, located in the entertainment area,
encourages constant interaction amongst participants. This is truly a very
unique part of the site, as it allows for music, game, video, and software media
artists to upload their personal creations. These creations are rated by other
clients, and when a qualifying threshold is achieved, the product is placed in
the GTS online store, for download. Royalties are then paid to the artists,
based on download activity.
Another problem that plagues the industry is
the ratio problem -- males generally outnumber females by a factor of 2 to 1.
GTS (http://www.getogethersafe.com) addressed this problem by
encouraging women to join for free.
Sometimes a little helpful advice
can significantly improve relationship bonds and so, the site teamed with a
world renowned relationship coach, David Wygant -- who is the author of numerous
books and the subject of many media appearances.
Getogethersafe.com
offers a unique array of features which improve personal safety, while providing
a one of a kind service, not typical of any other dating provider.
