This initiative from iiNet encourages, “everyone to help us by downloading our factsheet and sharing it with family and friends.” and help iiNet spread the love this February by keeping those people looking for love aware of the potential dangers that are associated with online dating.
The main safety tips include keeping an open mind and using a secure device or computer when using the online dating site, use a popular dating site rather than a smaller site with limited numbers, create a separate email account for the site you use and ignoring any junk mail that may land in your online dating inbox.
