FiftyPlusConnect.com provides a safe and secure environment to find companions or a partner. Meeting on the internet is similar to meeting in any other way. The personal safe guards you rely on when you meet a someone at a party, on the tennis court, or in a theatre lobby apply to the internet.

AS LONG AS YOU REMAIN ON FiftyPlusConnect.com YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS IS ANONYMOUS. OUR E-MAIL SYSTEM OPERATES WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE SITE ONLY. A SITE MEMBER CAN LEARN YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS ONLY IF YOU GIVE IT TO THEM.

As you begin making connections on the internet, please remember:

‹On the internet, you are anonymous. Remain anonymous until you feel completely secure about your new internet acquaintance.

‹Do not put ANY personal information in your Profile‹not even your last name. FiftyPlusConnect.com randomly checks profiles to insure there is no pornographic or other inappropriate text or photos posted. We are also on the lookout for personal information included inadvertently. We can not check every Profile, so please do not post personal information in your Profile. In correspondence with other members, don't give personal information until you feel 100% secure.

‹Take your time. One of the advantages of meeting someone online is that you can get to know each other slowly, over a span of time. Actually, if you choose, you can know someone quite well before you meet face to face.

‹Before you give an online acquaintance your phone number, E-mail address, or home address, try typing his or her name into Google.com. See if anything comes up which contradicts what you've been told.

‹Contradictions or inconsistent statements could indicate that you need to stop communicating with that person.

‹Before you meet face to face, we recommend beginning a telephone relationship. You may want to use a cell phone number before you give out your home number. If you are the one making the call, you may want to call the phone company for information on how to prevent your number from from being displayed on caller ID.

‹When you decide it's time to meet in person, do so in a public and crowded place. Tell a friend who you are meeting, and where that meeting will take place. Call the friend when you return home. Make sure you get to and from the meeting independently. Do not let the person meet you at your home. Do not visit your date's home.

‹If your instincts are telling you something isn't right, trust your feelings!!!! Stop communicating with that person.

‹Devious people may ask you to visit another web site so they can record your E-mail address. Don't do it. They might ask you to call a phone number with charges attached to your call. Check with a phone company operator to make sure every phone number you're given has a legitimate area code.

‹If a member doesn't respect your wishes to go slowly or corresponds using aggressive or foul language, we recommend that you stop communicating with that member. PLEASE REPORT ANY THREATENING OR UNPLEASANT BEHAVIOR TO USER COMPLAINTS.
