Online Dating Site Halts Fraud Attempts (News Release)   - 1,990 Views, 1 Comment

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.
