Key factors individuals should consider before travelling to meet someone
While speaking to Briefly News, psychologist and relationship expert Penny Holburn advised people to ask for information on family members and friends and talk to them.
"You want to find out if this person is who they say they are. Find out about the place you will be meeting. Check the address and see if the person really does live there. Also, ask for their place of work and check that they do work there. Don’t send any money upfront to book your own tickets, and make your own travel arrangements. In these days of romance scams, you almost need to act like a private investigator and check up on the person before you can assume what they say is legitimate."
Penny says individuals need to be extra careful, especially with the time of AI.
"Firstly, they must be aware that this may be a scam. If the partner asks for money, then be really careful. Don’t give money. Check the person out and have others check out the person. With the advent of AI, this may not even be a real human being," she added.
"It is easy to fake a profile and fake feelings for another person. There are even sites where you can learn how to do this. It takes time to get to know someone, so you need to see the person in different circumstances to know what they are really like. Also, try to meet and talk to people who may know them."
