They are not our people. Online dating brings with it many risks. These range from the danger of sending vulnerable information, such as credit card numbers, to online blackmail and phishing, where criminals pretend to be someone they aren't.

But, according to a recent study in which Professor Monica Whitty and her colleagues at the University of Leicester, UK, asked almost 3,000 online daters from 25 countries about their experiences and viewpoints, the chief concern is physical safety. This was particularly true for women, for whom serious physical assault was a very real possibility.

The researchers also found that people are becoming increasingly concerned about the security of personal data when it comes to communicating with someone they have met online. People cited some additional worries: it is uncertain what characteristics a person really has, as they might not be genuine in providing details; people could use the information to stalk or harass; and some sites do not protect personal data well.
