 Help Fight Phishing, Spam, Scams and AbuseImportant Online Safety TipsEZDATE123.COM is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our customers. We love to bring people together in a fun environment. Here are some of the safety features built into EZDATE123.COM • Correspond with other members using your very own private anonymous e-mail account. This allows you to meet new people while keeping your identity private (with the exception for the information you decide to put in your public profile). But don't you think for a second that you're off the hook! Safety begins with YOU. It's a two-way street, and you need to look both ways or you might accidentally find yourself in scary territory. Take responsibility for your own safety by using good judgement and common sense until you have established trust with a new friend. Here are a few helpful hints from EZDATE123.COM. Please take the time to read and understand the helpful hints. Some pointers about online safety and protecting you personal information • Protect your personal information. No one needs to know your real name, phone number, home address, your work place, personal or business email addresses, or any other personal information until you are ready to reveal it. Don't forget that someone could discover your true identity with ONE little bit of data. BE CAUTIOUS. A WORD ABOUT SHARING YOUR PERSONAL E-MAIL ADDRESS Sometimes a member is not comfortable with posting their picture(s) on the internet via a profile in our site for all to see. They may ask you for your personal e-mail address so they can send it just to you for viewing. You do not have to give anyone your personal e-mail address to communicate in the ezdate123 dating service. We have provided a much safer means for all of our members. However, not all members are aware of this important feature that we have provided for everyones protection. Here is how it works! Simply ask that person to send their picture(s) as an attatchment when they write to you via your ezdate123 mailbox. This attatchment system works exactly as your regular e-mail through your internet service provider such as "AOL" or "MSN" etc. Each member can add up to three attatchments per letter. You will find that most members will enjoy this feature that is available. (Please refer to the Photo Help section on our HELP page for file size information.) • Before you meet a member in the real world, be sure to let your family or friends know where you are going and when you expect to return. Make arrangements to contact a family/friend before, during, and after the meeting so they know right away if you have unexpected problems. • Arrange to meet in a crowded public location such as a coffee shop, restaurant, or bookstore. Avoid meeting at a private home until the time is appropriate. • A double lunch date can be ideal -- it's brief, informal, and quite safe! • If the person is from another location, meet somewhere in the middle so neither of you are in the other's hometown. • Don't depend on your online acquaintance to get you home. If you don't have your own car, bring cash for a cab ride or ask a friend or family member to pick you up. • Don't rush yourself, and don't let yourself be rushed! There are no set guidelines that dictate when you should exchange personal contact information, talk to someone on the phone, meet them in person, or progress to the next step of the relationship. Take all the time you need. Trust your instincts and move at the speed that makes you the most comfortable. If your new friend doesn't understand your need for privacy, you should end your contact with that person. • Right from the start, be completely honest about who you are and what you want from EZDATE123.COM. Don't mislead other members and give false impressions: that's a recipe for disaster. Why set up a situation destined for failure before you ever meet face-to-face? Follow these Do's & Don'ts and you can have confidence that your interactions on EZDATE123.COM will be fun and safe. Be cautious, trust your judgement and don't feel pressured into revealing anything that makes you uncomfortable. That's good advice no matter how you meet someone!
