Protection
Protecting Personal Information
Your personal information is valuable. Protect it by following these essential practices:
- Use a username instead of your real name on your profile
- Never share your home or work address
- Keep your phone number private until you feel comfortable
- Avoid revealing daily routines or specific locations
- Use the platform's messaging system rather than personal email
First Meetings
Safe First Meetings
Always prioritize your safety when meeting someone for the first time:
- Always meet in a public, well-populated place
- Tell a friend or family member where you are going
- Arrange your own transportation to and from the date
- Keep your first meeting brief - coffee or a drink
- Trust your instincts - leave if something feels wrong
- Have your phone charged and accessible
Warning Signs
Red Flags & Warning Signs
Watch for these warning signs and protect yourself from potential scams or dangerous situations.
Requests for Money
Never send money to anyone you have not met in person. This is the most common scam tactic.
Refusal to Meet Publicly
Anyone who insists on meeting at a private location for the first time should be avoided.
Inconsistent Stories
If details about their life, job, or situation keep changing, this is a major warning sign.
Pressure for Intimacy
Anyone who pressures you for physical intimacy early on does not respect your boundaries.
Requests for Personal Info
Be wary of anyone asking for bank details, social security numbers, or other sensitive information.
Too Good to Be True
If their lifestyle, income, or background seems impossibly perfect, it probably is.
Verification
Verifying Profiles
Take these steps to verify someone is who they claim to be:
- Ask for a video call before meeting in person
- Reverse image search their photos
- Check for a well-written, detailed profile
- Verify their LinkedIn or professional presence
- Trust your instincts - if something feels off, walk away
