“This is a good example of the risks of online dating. There is a parallel universe out there and people need to be aware that they may be taken for a ride. Sometimes the deception can even lead to violence and death, as in Israel a few years ago when a boy was lured into enemy territory by a fake date and was killed,” he says.

Khan adds that while people need to be careful, even apps need to verify the identity of the users.

“A new world requires new awareness and rules like authentication of identity for certain sites should certainly exist. These will always be a risk though,” he says.
