Protect your contact details
Use the dating service for early conversation. Avoid sharing your home address, financial details, routine, or identifying documents with someone you have not met and come to trust.
Recognize pressure
Step back when affection escalates extremely quickly, emergencies repeatedly involve money, stories change, or someone tries to isolate the conversation from friends and family.
Use a video call as one signal
A brief video conversation can help confirm that a person resembles their photos, but it does not prove every claim. Treat it as one part of gradual trust.
Plan the first meeting
Meet in a populated public place, arrive and leave independently, keep the first meeting modest in length, and share the details with someone you trust.
Report and disengage
You never owe continued conversation. Block and report accounts that request money, threaten, harass, impersonate someone else, or ignore clear boundaries.
