Make Connections is an online resource that provides practical advice on how to protect yourself , your computers and mobile devices, and your business from fraud, identity theft, viruses, and a variety of other online problems. It also includes information on many other related topics, such as performing backups and avoiding theft or loss of your computer, smartphone, or tablet. The site covers every conceivable topic, including safe online shopping, gaming, and dating, so you can truly stay safe with everything you do online.
The website also keeps you up to date on news, tips, and stories from around the world.

We collaborate closely with law enforcement, the MOD, and other organizations to support their outreach, internal awareness, and customer online safety.
Historically, singles met through friends, family, co-workers and even neighbors. Individuals were accountable to their community and social checks and balances incentivized people to be authentic, transparent and treated each other with respect.
There is no accountability in online dating and another date is just a few swipes away; as a result, people treat each other as expendable. Deception has practically become routine, and common courtesy has been all but forgotten.
Worst of all, the increasing frequency of 'catfishing', 'sextortion', romance scams, and even violent crime makes online dating a minefield.
Make Connections is addressing some of the underlying problems that are preventing online dating from realizing its full potential. We are bringing security, transparency and accountability to this new way of life so that compatible singles can find each other more easily.
We envision a world where deception, safety and security are no longer a problem; where there are more good first dates, significantly more second dates, and more satisfying connections for all.
