There is nothing wrong with online dating, but individuals should consider a few best practices before jumping into giving it a try. Kathy Griffin, K-Griff Investigations, says first, never give anybody money and don’t share any details about current financial situations. She recommends Face Timing with a person, especially if they are overseas; asking to see a passport or driver’s license; using social media to spot red flags; and asking questions pertaining to criminal history, current living arrangements, and marital status. A professional background check should be considered.
