  • Watch for consistency across photos and messages.
  • Protect your privacy settings and profile details.
  • Use block/report tools if something feels off.
  • Meet public-first and keep the first plan short.

Don’t

  • Send money, gift cards, or “travel help” for any reason.
  • Accept pressure to move off-platform immediately.
  • Share home address or workplace details early.
  • Let someone rush you past your boundaries.
  • Ignore repeated inconsistencies or evasive answers.
  • Overexplain a no—leave the chat and move on.
