NEW YORK - Just a day before sweethearts day and there is a new warning out about online Valentine's.

According to online identity provider MiiCard, one in 10 dating site profiles are fake. A few tips of advice for the love-struck one-liners: Don't send money unless you have met your love interest in person.

If the profile photo is a glossy model shot with perfect lighting or alluring photos in a skimpy outfit, it's probably a fake.

As always, be very cautious. If the person or their story is too good to be true, it probably is.
