Yes, one of the main problems on free dating sites such as OneLoveNet.com is that many scammers are using them. Although we use a number of automatic and manual methods to block and delete these scams our methods can never be 100% safe.

A dating scam usually involves the following steps:

• The scammer posts an attractive photo (such as attractive professional fotomodel photo) and fake profile on a dating website.
• The scammer sends the same message to many members. In this message the scammer usually express his / her interest in the member and provides a freemail address (yahoo or hotmail) and prefers to continue the discussion by email.
• If the scammer gets replies, he/she will present stories (a relative died, he / she was travelling and his / her pocket was stolen, etc.) and will claim how bad his/her current situation is and needs help and support to overcome it in some way. The story is usually very emotional and will easily gain sympathy and affection from the victim.
• No matter what the story is, after a short or long period of establishing trust and desire, the scammer will ask for money to be sent by Western Union, Monegram, cash money orders, send merchandise, etc..

Never send any money to someone you met on the Internet! If you suspect that a member’s profile is fake please imediatelly use the Admin Alert function we have on all profiles, we will investigate and take the required steps to delete / block the profile in question.

Being the fastest growing free dating site, our job, to reveiew all accounts are getting harder, day after day, this is why we always need your help and support to stop or at least minimize dating scam on our website.

…yes, this is exactly what we are doing at TradeHolding.com B2B Network. Buyers and Sellers state what are the products and services they are regulary selling and buying. Then, we are quickly calculating how many sellers are selling the product you are buying and viceversa, then you have the ability to send all of them a message, this way buyers and sellers are connected and a deal is very close.

This feature is especially good in buying process, as an RFQ (request for quote), imagine the need to buy olive oil, or icumsa sugar. You just define your exact needs and send it to hundreds of qualified sellers! They will get back to you with their offer and you have the ability of selecting the best offer!

We received an excellent feedback from members who already tried this feature, they are quite satisfied with the responses. If you would like to try this, just join through one of our partner sites (for example: European Business Directory).

OneLoveNet.com, free dating website is now 5 months old. We are close to 3,000 members… growing exponentially day after day. I still wonder where would this site be if I would have launched it in 2003-2004, when I initially built the script.

Anyway, we are working hard to follow member advices and try to build a community that will be extremely useful for members. We are close to launch the chat section, hopefully this will make even more contacts between the members.

Some new sections we launched recently:

• Dating by Profession
• Zodiac Dating
• Hot Picture Rating
• Religious Singles: Catholic Singles, Jewish Singles, Muslim Singles, Hindu Singles

Our Alexa ranking also have an exponential growing trend, not to mention Quantcast or Compete rankings.

OneLoveNet.com is still a small player in the free dating industry but if they can keep this growing trend I really think by the end of 2007 the site can become one of the top 5 free dating sites.

If you would like to write an article on your blog about OneLoveNet.com or place a link to us from your website, you are more than welcome. In return, I will give you a free featured link on TradeHolding.org, Business Websites & Links webdirectory.
