Report any suspicious profiles or behavior immediately using the report button.
Take your time and never feel pressured to move quickly.
Don'ts ✗
Never send money to anyone you meet on this platform, under any circumstances.
Do not share sensitive financial information (bank details, credit card numbers).
Avoid sharing your home or work address until you have fully verified identity.
Do not send explicit photos or personal documents.

🚩 Red Flags to Watch For
Asking for money
Any request for financial help, emergency loans, or money transfers is a major red flag — no exceptions.
Excessive flattery early on
Moving too fast emotionally or expressing deep feelings in the first few messages is a common manipulation tactic.
Refuses video calls
Consistently declining or making excuses to avoid video calls is a sign the identity may be fabricated.
Inconsistent stories
Details that change between conversations about their job, location, or family indicate deception.
Pressure to leave platform
Asking you to communicate only on WhatsApp or other apps before establishing trust is suspicious.
Profile photos look stock
Overly professional, model-quality photos can indicate stolen images. Reverse image search them.
