Safe Dating Tips

1. Protect your personal information

• Don't share your home or work address, financial details or passwords.
• Keep conversations in Lipaidox Messages until you trust the person.

2. Never send money

Never send money or mobile money to someone you haven't met, however urgent the story sounds. Report anyone who asks.

3. Get to know them first

A video call before meeting helps confirm the person is who they say they are.

4. When you meet

• Meet in a busy public place and stay there.
• Tell a friend or family member where you're going, who you're meeting and when you expect to be back.
• Arrange your own transport there and back.
• Stay in control — keep your phone charged and watch your drink.

5. Trust your instincts

If something feels wrong, leave. You don't owe anyone an explanation.

6. Report and block

Use Report and Block in Messages for anyone who makes you uncomfortable. If you are in danger, contact your local emergency services immediately.
