Nowadays, many people find their matches online, but no one can guarantee they won't fall prey to scams. Especially on social media and dating apps, people can easily be misled by strangers' sweet talk. However, a new scam has been circulating online, targeting singles looking for online dates. This scam usually follows a pattern: the other person will contact you through social media or dating apps, start chatting, and then ask you to download an unfamiliar app. After downloading, they'll invite you to a video call, seemingly to 'get to know each other.' But in reality, their true intention might be to extort you using the video call. So, at which step should you stop and reconsider? The answer is when they ask you to download an unfamiliar app. You should be cautious, as this might be a trap. Also, when they ask for a video call, you should be careful, as this might be the start of their extortion. To avoid being scammed and threatened, you must stay vigilant when dating online. Don't easily trust strangers, especially when they ask you to download software or make a video call. Remember, safety always comes first.
