From stalkers to romance scammers, a recent Kaspersky survey warns people to be careful when using online dating platforms.

A survey conducted by Kaspersky found that all manner of ills had been experienced by those looking for love.The days when two people would lock eyes across a crowded room and fall in love are gone. In fact, we’re not sure this ever happened outside of a movie, to be honest. Today, romance happens online for a large portion of people. As we explored in our most, online dating is fraught with problems from bots to high prices, but there is yet more reason to approach online dating with caution.

Data from the survey also highlights that female respondents were more likely to be the target of abuse. As many as 42 percent of female respondents said they had experienced abuse from a partner compared to just 36 percent of men responding in the same way. As for stalking, women tend to be more worried about online stalking compared to men .

The director explains that through the use of AI, romance scammers could become more convincing by using the likes of ChatGPT to write poems, letters, or even using generative AI to fake photos. This could lead to a victim potentially losing millions to a scammer who convinces you to send them money for whatever reason.
