Safety tips

Most people you meet here are exactly who they say they are. These habits keep it that way.

Before you meet

• Chat for a while first. Move to a video call to check they match their photos.
• Look for the verified badge, but remember it is not a guarantee.
• Never send money, even if the story is urgent or sad.
• Keep your phone number, address and workplace private until you trust them.

When you meet

• Choose a busy public place for the first meeting.
• Tell a friend who you are meeting, where and when.
• Arrange your own transport so you can leave when you want.
• Keep an eye on your drink and trust your instincts.

If something feels wrong

Leave, contact someone you trust, and report the profile. In an emergency call 999 or 112.
