Title : What are ‘Nigerian 419’ scams?
Body :

A ‘Nigerian’ scam is a form of upfront payment or money transfer scam. They are called Nigerian scams because the first wave of them came from Nigeria, but they can come from anywhere in the world. The ‘4-1-9’ part of the name comes from the section of Nigeria’s Criminal Code which outlaws the practice.

The scammers usually contact you by email or letter and offer you a share in a large sum of money that they want to transfer out of their country. They may tell you about money trapped in central banks during civil wars or coups, often in countries currently in the news. Or they may tell you about massive inheritances that are difficult to access because of government restrictions or taxes in the scammer’s country.

Scammers ask you to pay money or give them your bank account details to help them transfer the money. You are then asked to pay fees, charges or taxes to help release or transfer the money out of the country through your bank. These ‘fees’ may even start out as quite small amounts. If paid, the scammer make up new fees that require payment before you can receive your ‘reward’. They will keep making up these excuses until they think they have got all the money they can out of you. You will never be sent the money that was promised.

Title : Choosing an Online Dating Website
Body :

If you are interested in online dating it is likely you have already searched the web for online dating sites. And, more than likely, you were shocked to see how many there are! When it comes to choosing an online dating website there are many things to take into consideration. The following guide should help you and give you some direction so you can sign up with the best online dating site for you.

Tip#1 Popularity

There are hundreds if not thousands of online dating sites on the web. And, you want the best chances of finding a date. So, you should choose an online dating website that is popular. There are a couple of dating sites that are particularly large and popular and you might consider a free trial with one of these sites. Alternatively, you may choose to look for a site that is popular within a subsection of individuals with similar tastes.

Tip #2 People

You want to sign up with an online dating website that has the type of people you are looking to start a relationship with. So, if you are interested in big black women then you should sign up for a dating site that caters specifically to these individuals. If you prefer wealthy singles, Christians, Asian, Hispanic, over 40, or others then you should sign up with sites that cater to these particular individuals. These sites are usually smaller, but they do a good job of matching up likeminded folks.

Tip #3 Price

Different online dating sites charge different rates for their service. You want to find a site that offers you a free trial up front and then an affordable monthly fee. Everyone wants to find the love of their life, but nobody wants to have to spend a fortune to do so! Consider using a free online dating site, there is no reason to spend considerable amount of money if you can get the same result by signing-up with a free service.

Tip #4 Research

Do a little research on the web to find out which websites you are considering signing up with are the most popular with other users. You don’t want to sign up with a site that has poor customer service or that allows members to harass one another. A quick search on the web should answer most of your questions.

These are just a few suggestions to help you find the right online dating website for you. Of course, there are a lot of sites out there and it may be hard to choose at first. But, if you do a little work and research you will find the best site for you to register with. Then, you will find that finding a date you are attracted to on many levels is easier than you ever imagined.

Title : Tips to Improve Your Online Dating Profile
Body :

If you really want to find someone to date then you need to have an awesome profile. There are some tips that will help you make the best profile and improve the one you already have.

Tip #1 Photos, Photos, and More Photos

The one challenge with online dating is that you can’t see the person to tell if you are physically attracted to them. But, there is a way around this. The answer is to add as many photos as possible. Nobody wants to buy something sight unseen and nobody wants to date someone sight unseen either. So, do your best to add as many photos in as many different poses as you can. Doing this will allow potential dates to see you in all your glory and really get a good idea of how you look as well as insight into your personality!

You want to look good in your photos, too, so don’t be afraid to take some photos specifically for your online profile. Groom yourself, put on some makeup, wear nice clothes that are not stained, ripped, or mismatched. You wouldn’t apply for a job looking bad and you shouldn’t add photos to your profile that don’t show you in your best light. When you have a lot of photos and you look good in all of them then you will receive more attention.

Tip #2 Provide Information

When you visit other’s profiles you are looking for certain information. This might be their religion, job, hobbies, political beliefs, family life, and more. So, go ahead and put it all out there on your profile. That way, when you are contacted by someone it will be because they really like what they see! Don’t be afraid to lay it all out there. Don’t feel shy or embarrassed. You want to find someone who will like you for who you really are. And, providing a great deal of information up front will actually help you out on that front. It will spare you people who just aren’t interested because they won’t contact you. So, you know when someone does they are truly interested in everything you are about!

Tip #3 Update Your Look

This goes along with the photos in a way, but it is decidedly different. You want to update your look so you are stylish in your photos. However, you do not want all of your photos to be taken on the same day in the same outfits and in the same locations. So, spread it out a bit. Add photos of you with different, yet up to date, hairstyles. Get a makeover at your local department store and take some photos out at restaurants, or in other locations. Just don’t make all the photos look the same. Visitors to your online profile will appreciate the different looks and that you care about your appearance.

These are just a few tips to help you create an online profile on a dating site that will really grab attention and help you get more dates. Give it a try and you will see that having an informative profile with plenty of photos and an updated look will help you attract many interested people!

Title : Scam Watch
Body :

Due to the free and open nature of this site, you may come across a scammer or two from time to time. We do however go to extreme lengths to make sure that there are none.

 

If you receive a scammer’s message or have the slightest suspicions just let us know, we immediately suspend such profiles and give them a chance to respond and if they do not stand up to our strict scrutiny then we delete those profiles immediately.

 

The best way to inform us about this type of incident is by using the Report Abuse feature and pasting a copy of the message you received from the person. Alternatively you can send us an email with a copy of the original message to support@clubintimate.com.

 

There are some simple steps you can take to avoid being scammed by a professional scammer:

 

  1. Never give out your real email address or contact details until you have thoroughly checked out and verified the person
  2. Never send any money! You have this scenario of this beautiful lady who is ready to come and marry you but does not have money for a passport or visa and needs your help. If you send any money you will never see your money or the lady again. There are a lot of different scenarios created by these cheats. Another one for example would be a very sick child and they need your urgent help etc. The same would apply in case of a handsome millionaire who for some reason suddenly needs your help. Never send any money unless you want to be cheated out of your money
  3. Be very careful when people insist on you communicating via their private email address without getting to know you. Also, if they redirect you to another site where you have to pay it is obvious they are after your money and do not want to know you as they could have communicated with you easily using the free services of this site. Please report this to us immediately and do not sign up, this will only encourage them to do this more. Be careful, they are very manipulative and will give you all kinds of reasons as to why you have to sign up or send money
  4. Alarm bells should start ringing if in their profile they state they are from a particular country say AMERICA but when you contact them they are in a Country like Nigeria or Russia or somewhere else. A very commonly used technique by cheats
  5. Some of the reasons scammers give for not being in their own country: (a) Went for a business trip and got robbed and have no money to get back. (b) Got robbed, visa got stolen and need your help. (c) Rich relative who has millions of pounds has suddenly died and they need your help to get the money out of the country
  6. The $10 million cheque scam: Consider this scenario - you have not believed the scammer and think you are well prepared and than all of a sudden they send you a $10 million cheque. You go and give it to the bank and while you are waiting for the cheque to go through they ask you for money. You think I have $10 million here should not be a problem sending them $10,000. The cheque bounces after a week and apart from losing a lot of money and fines you have a lot of explaining to do. A lot of people have fallen for this scam, so be careful.

 

We need your help to get rid of scammers, please support us to protect you.

CLUB INTIMATE PUTS COMMUNTY SPIN TO ONLINE DATING

Club Intimate is a new totally-free  international online dating and social networking service that breaks the mould of traditional dating sites by including features that allow members to build communities around their personal interests. Members can find partners with higher compatibility and improve the safety of meeting those partners by using interactive features not found on other dating sites.

         

Melbourne, Australia, April 30, 2007 — Newly-launched Club Intimate web site is changing the face of online dating and social networking. Realising that there’s more to relationships than a Friday night date, Club Intimate is a totally-free online community centred around the interests and needs of club members from around the world.

 

Club Intimate combines the favourite features common to dating and social networking web sites with a series of interactive Web 2.0 tools that allow members to build a community and get to know each other. These features include personal blog space for each member and nearly 20 different interest-based forums in which members can discuss topics that appeal to them.

 

“People are passionate about the things they do and it’s often hard to find people with whom they can share those passions,” said Club Intimate CEO & Founder Arshad Khan. “Club Intimate’s interactive features bring people together into communities of shared interests.”

 

Club Intimate has partnered with Skype to provide a free chat service for Club members so they can talk face-to-face while maintaining anonymity. All of Club Intimate’s technology is designed to improve compatibility and safety so that members can find successful relationships.

         

“The more familiar two people are before meeting, the more likely they will find compatibility with each other,” Arshad said. “That makes for better, stronger relationships, which is our goal.”

 

Club Intimate is about more than just dating. The company’s four international web sites serve people looking for a variety of relationships and members can choose to participate in one or more communities for Activity Partners, Travel Partners, Sexy Dates, Intimate Encounters, a Friend to Talk to, or the Love of Your Life. So whether you’re looking for a date, a long-term love relationship or just a friend to share activities or travel with, Club Intimate can connect you with people looking for a similar kind of relationship.

 

Club Intimate operates a global site targeted primarily for the U.S. and sites in Australia, New Zealand and the U.K. Cutting edge technology automatically detects the geographic location of users and routes them to the Club Intimate site appropriate for their location. Club Intimate’s global coverage permits members to search for, find and meet partners in other countries. 

 

The mission of Club Intimate is to provide a community-based online dating and social networking service with premium-quality content where members can participate, connect and enjoy a safe and friendly environment without paying a hefty subscription rate. All of Club Intimate’s features, including the interactive community-building tools like blogs, forums, events, photo rating, profile commenting, photo commenting, messaging and chat technology are absolutely free.

 

“At Club Intimate, we believe the best things in life should be free—and that includes relationships,” Khan stated. “Busy careers and fast-paced lifestyles can make it hard to find our perfect partner match. Club Intimate’s interactive technology and interest-based communities help to solve that problem without emptying your wallet.”

Title : Signs of a Serious Relationship
Body :

Sometimes it can be puzzling whether your relationship is serious or not. Men can be confusing. They are not as verbal as women. Where a woman would love to talk things out and say this is where our relationship is, men prefer to leave things unspoken. They expect a woman to pick up on their cues and simply know just how serious the relationship is. So, in order for you to figure out how serious your relationship is you have to know what signs to look for.

 

The following is a list of the many different ways men subtly tell you they are serious about you. Many times women simply blow them off and do not think of them as a big deal. To a man, though, they are a big deal. So, pay attention and look for these signs of a serious relationship with your man.

 

  • Instead of saying `I` he now says `we`. He is obviously thinking of you as a team, as a couple.
  • He calls just to talk. Men rarely just chat on the phone. If he`s calling you without an agenda it means he misses you.
  • He calls if he is going to be late. This is showing great respect for you. Instead of letting you sit and wonder where he is, he gives you a call to say he`s running late.
  • He listens to you. This means he really listens to you. He doesn`t necessarily hang on your every word, but he is paying attention and valuing what you say.
  • He has told his friends about you. This is a "major" in a man`s world. When he`s serious about something he shares it with his friends.
  • He starts becoming interested in the things you do. This includes work and hobbies. If he is showing an interest in all aspects of your life then he`s serious.
  • Everything is not all about sex. In the beginning you likely had wild romps that ended with him falling asleep. Now all of the sudden he wants to cuddle or just sit with you then he`s serious. He`s no longer seeing you as just someone to sleep with. He`s seeing you as someone he wants to be with.
  • He is interested in your friends and family. Men do not really want to be confronted with your friends or family. He knows they are judging him. When he starts to act interested, though, this means he is wanting their acceptance, so he`s wanting to be around for quite a while.

These are just a handful of the signs men give when they are getting serious in a relationship. There`s no doubt that you are experiencing them if he really is serious about you. It can be easy to write them off, but pay attention because he`s trying to tell you he`s really in to you.
