ABSOLUTELY FALSE! There are so many risks to online dating, and not just the one that ends up getting your heart broken. There have been many people who have run into financial trouble when choosing to date online. Once they fall madly in love with someone over the internet they feel like they can trust them with anything, maybe even there own banking account information. DON'T FALL FOR IT! Over the internet you could be talking to anyone. A guy might think he is talking to a beautiful girl, when in reality he could be chatting up a man. You just don't know. Over the past couple years people have chosen to hide their true identity on the internet, and has caused many problems for the one who really feel in love. There is a strong chance that the person on the other side of the computer could be an identity thief or someone just looking for trouble. They may use lines like they are in medical trouble or really need help paying off some debt. Don't fall for it, be smarter. Keep your money your until you have met the person and know you can trust them.
I really believe that this is an issue in life. Some people just get totally blinded by love and can't blurt out all their personal information without even thinking. I know there was an episode of Catfish where this man gave her banking information to a women he was in love with over the internet, and in the end it did not go well for him. The woman was not who she claimed to be, and he was out thousands of dollars. There are very high risks taken when deciding to join a dating website. I'm not saying don't do it, I'm just saying be careful. You don't want to be left with no money, and all alone because you leaked personal information to someone you "trusted". Be careful the internet is a dangerous place.
