Tips for staying safe

To help your conversations go as smoothly as possible, here are a few important points to check:

1. Payment

• Never send money before you have met the person.
• Be wary of requests for payment for photos, videos or fees before a meeting.

2. Phone number

• Check that the number you use matches the one on the listing.
• Stay alert if you are asked to switch to a different number during the conversation.

3. Photos

• Prefer profiles with consistent, realistic photos.
• You can use a reverse image search (Google Images or Google Lens) to check a photo.

4. Rates and communication

• A serious profile states its rates clearly from the start.
• Be wary of conversations where the price changes or stays vague.
• Prefer written messages rather than audio-only exchanges.

5. Verification

• Certified profiles offer a stronger guarantee.
• Feel free to ask for a recent photo before arranging a meeting.

What to do if you have doubts?

• Stop the conversation if something makes you uncomfortable.
• Keep screenshots of the exchanges.
• Report the profile or number to us so we can look into it.
• If a payment has already been made, contact your bank or the app used as soon as possible.

Your safety matters. If in doubt, it is always better to walk away.
