Never give away your personal information to anyone online. Even if you meet this person and start dating, do not give any individual your personal information because you never know if there is a scam involved. Personal information can include anything like your residential or employer's address, bank information, email address(es) or any other information that could be used to defraud you.

When online dating, it's recommended that you use a specific email address dedicated only to online dating so other people cannot try to hack into your account and obtain documents or personal information that could be used against you in the future.
