Firstly, I'd like to point out that pen paling and online swinging is great fun! You can meet some wonderful people online who may become
lifetime friends or even more; and if you're learning any language, it's a great way of using and improving your knowledge of your target
language. However, it is possible that people looking for e-pals, pen pals, pen friends or love online may encounter some problems. By knowing
about these potential problems one can try to avoid some of the traps which may await. Therefore, we have put together a few of the most
important things anyone looking for any kind of friendship online should consider before adding an address to a site.
Most pen pal or swinging websites have a large number of people using their service, and when a large number of people are involved with
anything, not everyone is going to be either honest or nice. Some people visiting pen pal or Swinging sites do so in order to find people to try
to scam. Please be aware that many scams on the internet do exist. Most scams involve people asking for money or saying they have large sums of
money that they wish to invested or that they need a bank account to transfer the money to. Here's a recent example of one such scam run by a
Nigerian. Our advice is to avoid anything that looks in any way similar and immediately delete the message. Because of this sort of thing, we
offer the following warning or guidelines to consider before placing your details on the internet. In some states of the USA, there
are some free adult swingers clubs where you just meet other swingers.
1. When placing an ad consider using a free email address service, especially for pen pals. Doing so protects your own email address and your
personal information. High quality pen pal or swinging websites usually provide such a FREE email address service. We do! 2. When composing your
ad, give only general information about yourself. 3. When you start getting responses to your ad use extreme caution whenever someone brings up
the subject of money. Anytime someone on the internet starts talking about money be very suspicious. However, plausible people might be: NEVER
GIVE ANYONE YOUR BANKING ACCOUNT NUMBERS, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, DRIVER'S LICENSE NUMBER, HOME ADDRESS, and PHONE NUMBER OR CREDIT CARD NUMBERS!
ADDENDUM-1 1. Think very carefully before arranging to meet anyone in person, you have met online. 2. Finally, should you receive an email from
someone asking for money you may want to consider contacting the authorities. The people sending out this kind of email are criminals. If you
follow these guidelines, pen palling and online swinging will be great fun!
