LTR - Feb 15 - In our modern technological society, important life transactions are taking place online. Jeff Tinsley, CEO of RealMe, discusses the value of building trust and increasing user safety in online dating. He believes that anonymity in online dating contributes to the prevalence of romance scams and fraud. 2020 saw a 20% increase in romance scams attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic. Recent surveys have shown that up to 50% of profiles on dating sites are fake or contain falsified information. 27% of the U.S. adult population has been a victim of fraud or crimes originating from online interactions with financial losses approaching $20B annually. There is a strong demand for reputation and background information, with 98% online daters desiring this information. Jeff Tinsley details the benefits of enhancing safety and trust in the latest video in the LTR Webinar series.
LTR stands for Love, Technology, Relationships and the online conference covers the Internet dating and Online Social Communities space. It is for members of IDEA and OSCA.
