Safety Tips

Before You Start

• Check your background: Ensure no personal items (mail, photos, addresses) are visible behind you.
• Use good lighting: Light should come from in front, not behind, so your face is clearly visible.
• Choose a neutral location: A tidy, well-lit room creates a better experience and protects privacy.
• Test your equipment: Make sure your camera and microphone work before connecting.

During the Chat

• Use a nickname: Never share your real name, address, phone number, or social media handles.
• Trust your instincts: If something feels off, click "Next" immediately. No explanation needed.
• Stay on-platform: Avoid moving to external apps or websites. Scammers often try to redirect you.
• Don't share personal media: Never send photos, videos, or files that could identify you offline.
• Be cautious with links: Never click suspicious URLs sent in chat. They could be phishing attempts.

Red Flags to Watch For

End the chat and report immediately if someone:

• Asks for money, gifts, or financial assistance
• Pressures you to move off-platform
• Asks for personal information (address, workplace, etc.)
• Displays inappropriate or explicit content
• Behaves aggressively or makes you uncomfortable
• Claims to be in an emergency and needs help
• Uses scripted or generic conversation patterns
