– Dec 16 — While dating online is convenient for the parties
involved, it also attracts unsavory characters with every intention but
finding a date. Online dating scams are perpetrated predominantly by
foreign subjects primarily from Eastern European countries, Asia, and
parts of Africa. Scammers lie about their true location. Oasisoflove.comdetects a user's location during sign-up. So, if someone is signing up
from Russia, or from say, Ivory Coast, he or she cannot simply claim to
be located in the USA. If a user sends a message from a location
other than his/her registered location, the recipient is alerted upon
opening the mail. RELEASE @ I-NEWSWIRE

Many sites block users from certain countries. I was in Prague
recently and signed up for the 10 online US dating sites. I was
blocked from signing up for three of them, presumably because of my
Czech IP address.
