Internet Dating Investigations
Dating can be a frightening experience, and the world has made a turn in the way couples meet and are married. According to Online Dating Magazine, 17% of couples who have married in the past three years met through an online dating service. In addition, one out of every five singles in the United States has dated someone they met online. According to a report released by Market Research in 2012, dating services are a $2.1 billion industry with online dating representing 53% of the market and upwards of 40 million users.
Why Do I Need a Private Investigator?
There are many dangerous situations that can occur and have occurred in the past due to online dating. People show up with a different identity or intention than what was stated on their profile. It is very easy to provide false information via the internet; you can be almost whoever you want to be when using an online site. Criminals and predators now actively join social networking and online dating sites to set up fake profiles. The majority of people lie in their online dating profiles. While some of these lies are seemingly harmless, others may be concealing a dangerous predator.
The concept of online dating is appealing to so many people because it gives us access to potential interests we would otherwise have never known the existence of. And great compatible people meet each other all the time. However, the temptation to create an identity that is void of one’s weaknesses is so strong and so many make small adjustments, however some weaknesses are small scale and some are felony status.
These are a few explanations of why so many people, especially young adults, fall victim to dangerous predators on online dating websites. Furthermore, even when someone is not necessarily dangerous, their lies can lead the subject into an awkward or uncomfortable situation. For example someone who posts pictures from ten years ago. Or someone who omits a drug or gambling habit. While this is not reason enough to do away with online dating altogether, it should cause one to want more information before allowing themselves to be put in a potentially dangerous or harmful situation.
