Safety Tips

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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