You, in all your greatness, have found yourself signed up for a few online dating sites. Hey, what’s the harm in expanding your options, right? The web has one dating site after another, filled with a bevy of “hotties” and “notties” waiting for a date with you. Everybody is so busy these days, it’s not like there are only dogs and pedophiles on dating sites. Quite possibly, there’s someone awesome out there, who is hot and available, like me. Why in the heck not?
So, if you are going to date online, make it fun and make it safe. Safety will always be the primary concern! In a transient society, it is difficult to tell if a person is someone you should be associated with. Too many times in my life, I’ve seen single mothers and their young children get taken advantage of by predatory men. They thought they were dating someone sane and normal, when really they are dating some pedophile.
Anyhow, I found this great article that can help people stay safe in their dating ventures, check it out!
GetogetherSafe.com Selects Intelius for Identity Verification and Background Checks
- Intelius will confirm users identities to make online dating safer
Bellevue, WA (January 19, 2004) — Getogethersafe.com (www.getogethersafe.com) announced the selection of Intelius, Inc., (www.intelius.com) as the exclusive provider of their site’s Identity Verification and Background Check program. Under the agreement, Intelius will provide Getogethersafe with Intelius’ identity verification service, allowing users to confirm that they are in fact, who they claim to be. In addition, Getogethersafe users will have access to Intelius Background Checks, which will include comprehensive criminal record and sex offender checks.
Intelius is a real-time solution for online dating sites. It allows users to maintain their anonymity, but confirms their identity as a real person to the community. Intelius verifies users through a series of questions that confirm name, address, age, living situation, and criminal history. The Intelius system is a blind query that captures the user’s information, runs the check and display’s the results to the end user, without revealing any sensitive information. According to an MSN survey, 64% of the people surveyed who never visited an online dating site, list the reason as “You can’t trust the people you meet online.”
“Getogethersafe.com presents users with people who are truly interested in creating solid relationships, whereas many dating sites are focused on creating a mass volume of users, without regard to quality,” said Rana Adamchick, Chief Executive Officer of Getogethersafe.com. “Intelius is a key partner for us, as their service provides our users with the confidence to interact on our site. Clients will be able to verify the person’s identity, which can reduce the risk of harm, and of course, fraud. As long as they use the service, it should create a safer experience for them.”
“Anonymity is one of the great draws to dating sites, but one of the challenges it presents is user misrepresentation,” said Ed Petersen, Senior Vice President of Business Development of Intelius. “The deployment of Intelius on the Getogethersafe dating site will assure that users are in fact, who they claim, whether it’s confirming their age, their living situation, or their sex. Intelius will build confidence in the Getogethersafe community, creating an environment where users can interact more freely.”
