Dating should be exciting and safe. A few simple rules that keep you protected.
Keep the early conversation here. Anyone rushing to move you to WhatsApp/Telegram or asking for personal details is a red flag.
Whatever the story. A request for money, gift cards, crypto or an "investment" is a scam — even if the profile looks legit.
Do not share your exact address, workplace or financial details before trust is built. First meeting — always in a public place.
A short video call helps confirm the person is who they claim. Consistent refusal to video-chat is worth noting.
Before a meeting, tell a friend when and where you are meeting, and arrange a check-in.
Dramatic stories, fast emotional pressure, too-"perfect" photos, refusal to meet or talk by phone, and money requests in any form.
Every profile and chat has report and block. Reporting helps us protect the whole community — even after you undo a match.
If you feel in immediate danger — call your local emergency number. For emotional distress, contact a local mental-health helpline.
