Keeping my members safe on 101FreeChristianDating , and informing you how to stay safe is my number 1 priority! It’s why 101 is the only free dating site that is not full of scammers and spammers and fake profiles – something other free services neither have the resources, or the will to deal with. Somehow God has given me the will to manage this massive task. I simply won’t compromise!

I must also acknowledge my faithful members who always report anything suspect, usually within minutes so I can deal with it – and I would encourage you to do the same if you are a member of 101 – this helps me enormously and more importantly keeps other members safe.

Stay safe when you go on a date!

  • Communicate via the 101 website and don’t be pressured to chat elsewhere.
  • Always meet members in a public place. NEVER meet someone at their house.
  • Tell a friend where you are going – take a phone of course.
  • Note; once you’ve given out phone or other details to the wrong person – you can’t retract it!
  • Don’t be pressured into using external chat services like Whatsapp or Skype (though these can be useful to see and assess someone more fully) until you feel safe, as this involves giving out phone details.
  • Consider getting a separate email, Skype or Whatsapp account to use just for dating.
  • NEVER be pressured into meeting at a house or anywhere uncomfortable.

How to avoid and spot scammers on the Internet.  This page also has some tools you can use to lookup an Internet users location and other scammer avoidance tools.

Use a good password on 101

Lastly – make sure you have a good password on 101. Because we don’t take or hold your card details, having your 101 account hacked would not be as serious as say having your bank details stolen, but it might be very inconvenient or embarrassing, and we do hold a small amount of personal details for security reasons like member names and emails. The best thing is to learn how to create a safe password.
