Imagine This: Awakened by morning sunlight streaming through your window-your first thought today was a single, stunning realization. No, it was not a nightmare. The man in bed next to you is not the man you married. He is a complete stranger with a fabricated persona.
Deborah Nelson of Colorado Springs, CO, knows first-hand the shock of this terrifying scenario and is helping prevent it from happening to others. In her true story, "Oops, I married a Con Artist," Nelson proves that now, more than ever, singles need to be sure of the identity of the people they are dating.
The crime of identity theft in financial transactions is costly, but is also beginning to infect personal relationships, especially amongst the online dating population. Due to the phenomenon of Internet anonymity, it is estimated at least 50% of dating profiles (estimated 25-30 million in the United States) are false; thereby making the remaining genuine online daters vulnerable to fraud.
Online dating is so acceptable now that one in eight marriages originates online. Yet there are risks. Because of online anonymity, over 50% of dating profiles are false and being used for scams, cons, and crimes done in the name of love. If you are dating online, online dating safety must no longer be an after thought.
Those who cultivate trust from love relationships to gain access to identity information and assets can easily camouflage theft inside of love and marriage. Shielded by civil and community property law, they are rarely prosecuted. However, for people engaged in romantic risk, a new patent pending system invented by Nelson provides real online dating safety, by verifying identities to limit the escalating reality of relationship fraud.
An international conference held in Toronto concluded that an Internet identification system is critical to stemming online fraud. Nelson's patent pending dating ID system offers the online dating safety solution for millions dating online. The system provides a convenient, continuous, non-invasive alternative to the traditional one at a time, more expensive background check.
This new online dating safety tool empowers singles with certified identities before they become involved with virtual strangers. The Dating Passport invented by Nelson, also saves time wasted on unwanted false and frivolous online dating interactions. In an environment of easy online anonymity; this safe dating tool also solves the problem of unknowingly dating married persons, along with preventing other fraud issues yet undiscovered due to proliferation of online anonymity.
Nelson, with partner Private Investigator Linda Schneeloch, offer the Web's most comprehensive identity verification service for online dating safety through its website at The Dating Passport.
For an annual fee about the cost of one special date, The Dating Passport (patent pending) goes a step beyond the normal safe dating tips to offer tangible online dating safety. It certifies its members identities through a secure voluntary online application. When Dating Passport members want to verify each others' identities, they agree to exchange Dating Passport Numbers. The annual fee covers members by giving continuous access for exchanging dating ID, so that members always have the security of knowing whom they are dating. Marital status, and other "datability factors" are verified, critical to know at the beginning of a relationship. The Dating Passport also includes a photo verification option to guard members against being drawn in by fake dating profile photos.
"If you are involved with a Dating Passport Member, you know who they are," said Nelson. "In the world of online anonymity, The Dating Passport offers real online dating safety through its continuous protection from relationship fraud. Dating Passport holders have volunteered their identity information and have nothing to hide."
