General guidance for adults
Protect personal information
Keep your home address, workplace details, financial information, passwords and identity documents private. Be cautious if someone tries to move a conversation away from a platform immediately.
Never send money
Do not send money, cryptocurrency, gift cards or financial credentials to someone you met online, even if their story feels urgent or convincing.
Meet on your terms
For a first meeting with a real person, choose a busy public place, arrange your own transport, tell someone you trust where you will be, and keep your phone charged.
Consent stays active
Anyone can change their mind at any time. Respect boundaries immediately. A match, message or prior yes never removes the need for current consent.
Trust discomfort
Leave a conversation or meeting if something feels wrong. In immediate danger, contact local emergency services. An AI score should never override your own judgment.
