WORDS OF CAUTION

• I, and all respectable webmasters utterly condemn any any illegal activity and it's promotion via the internet and should you find a website and receive an email that you feel breaches the law in any way then do report it to the Internet Watch Foundation or even better contact the newly established Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre these people are doing an excellent job and with your help they will track down those sad people who abuse young children.
• If a dating website sounds too good to be true then it probably is! Free membership does not mean free contact and even if you can search and find profiles in your area are they real and how long ago did they sign up? A decent site usually shows you when they were last online and even how long they have been a member for!
• Do not be surprised to find the same people with the same profiles on a number of sites. Many unscrupulous webmasters will try to maximise their internet visibility and membership by pooling the same members under a number of different websites as well as selling their members to others!
• Beware the premium rate contact sites. You may find that the only way to reach some women is via a premium rate call where you will be asked to leave a message only after a very long intro. It is unlikely that, assuming the other person actually even exists, the person you leave a message for will bother to listen to hundreds if messages from all and sundry from all over the UK especially whilst they themselves have to pay a premium rate call to hear your message. The same sort of scan also applies to text messages...You have been warned.
• Many dating sites are simply a lure to allow them to download hidden software onto your pc that will bring them financial gains in other ways such as trojan horses. They are usually the more seedy looking sites with lots of naked bodies (when was the last time your date appeared naked save for stockings and suspenders?
• Are you sure that they have thousands of active members? You could join and find that most members are no longer active and that you are 100 of miles from the only person who responds to your contact!
