Meeting new people is fun, but you should always be careful when interacting with someone you do not know. While we cannot control other people’s actions, we can educate ourselves on ways to stay protected. Here are a few points to consider:
- Never send money or share private financial details
- Protect your personal information
- Stay on the platform to use as a safer medium
- Be wary of non-genuine, long-distance relationships
- Report all offensive and suspicious behavior
- protect your account with a strong password, never sharing your login info
- Use a different email address for online dating
