WARNING:
Failure to follow these guidelines is at your own risk. Ensure strict adherence for a secure and safe experience.

  1. Avoid Sending Money: Never send money or financial information to someone you’ve only met online. Genuine relationships should not require financial transactions early on.
  2. Verify Identities: Before sharing personal information, verify the identity of the person through video calls or other means. Scammers often use fake profiles.
  3. Be Skeptical of Sob Stories: Be cautious if someone shares a dramatic or urgent story and asks for money. Scammers often use emotional manipulation to exploit victims.
  4. Research Profiles: Do a reverse image search on profile pictures to check for authenticity. Scammers often use stolen photos to create fake identities.
  5. Watch for Red Flags: Be wary if the person avoids video calls, refuses to meet in person, or has inconsistent or evasive responses to your questions.
  6. Report Suspicious Activity: If you encounter any suspicious behavior or suspect a scam, report it to the platform administrators immediately.
  7. Meet in Public Places: If you decide to meet in person, choose public places and inform a friend or family member about your plans.
  8. Protect Personal Information: Avoid sharing sensitive personal information such as home address, financial details, or social security numbers.
  9. Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off or too good to be true, trust your instincts and proceed with caution or reconsider the interaction.
  10. Educate Yourself: Stay informed about common online scams and be vigilant. Being aware of potential risks can help you avoid falling victim to scams.
