The Internet dating safety act would require that companies warn customers of the dangers of meeting strangers. The tips include always letting someone else know if you are going to meet someone new, always providing your own transportation and making sure to meet in a public place. The law states those looking for love online should be advised to "never include your last name, e-mail address, home address, phone number, place of work and any other identifying information in your Internet profile or initial e-mail messages."
