Safety Tips

  1. Avoid Sharing Personal Details Too Soon
    Don’t reveal your home address, workplace, or financial info early on.

  2. Verify Their Identity Before Meeting
    Use video calls to confirm who they are before taking things offline.

  3. Tell a Friend or Family Member
    Keep someone in the loop about your interactions and plans.

  4. Don’t Send Money or Share Banking Info
    Scammers often pose as love interests to request money.

  5. Watch for Red Flags
    Fast declarations of love, excuses not to meet, or stories that don’t add up.

  6. Set Communication Boundaries
    If they become too demanding or invasive, it’s okay to step back or block.

  7. Meet in Public for First Dates
    Always choose public, well-populated locations and arrange your own transport.

  8. Use Temporary Phone Numbers (Optional)
    Services like Google Voice let you protect your real number.

  9. Trust Your Gut
    If something feels off, it probably is—listen to your instincts.
