How do I avoid scams when dating online in Nice?

What is the best time to be active on dating sites in Nice?

Weekday evenings, roughly between eight and eleven. Activity around Nice is noticeably lower on weekend afternoons than most people assume. Messages sent midweek tend to get replies faster simply because fewer people are competing for attention.
