  • Meet safely: Choose populated public places and tell a trusted person where you’ll be and who you’re meeting.
  • Stay in control: Don’t meet at private locations (yours or theirs). Arrange your own transportation. If you feel pressured, cancel.
  • Keep communication on-platform: Stay within the app while getting to know someone—moving off too quickly can be a red flag.
  • Protect your information: Don’t share personal or financial details or send money.
  • Watch for red flags: Be cautious if someone avoids phone/video calls or refuses to meet in public—they may not be who they say they are.
  • Be prepared: Keep your phone charged and with you at all times.
