Profile safety
How to spot fake profiles and scams
A polished profile, verification badge, or large member count does not guarantee that a person is trustworthy. Look for behavior patterns, not one isolated signal.
Safer checklist
- ✓Use reverse-image search when a photo looks overly polished or inconsistent.
- ✓Ask specific questions and watch for generic or contradictory replies.
- ✓Keep messages on-platform until identity and intent are clearer.
- ✓Use a brief live video check before traveling or sharing private details.
- ✓Report requests for money, gift cards, crypto, fees, or urgent financial help.
Avoid these mistakes
- ×Paying a verification fee requested by another member.
- ×Moving immediately to an encrypted messenger under pressure.
- ×Sharing intimate media that includes your face or identifying details.

Frequently asked questions
Do verified profiles eliminate fake accounts?
No. Verification can reduce some risks but does not guarantee identity, intent, or safe behavior.
What is the clearest scam warning sign?
Requests for money, gift cards, crypto, travel funds, or paid verification are high-risk signals.
How can I verify a match more safely?
Use consistent conversation, reverse-image checks, and a brief live video call before sharing sensitive information or meeting.
