Safe Communication
How to chat with other members without taking risks.
Direct messages are private to two people. They can also be misused. These habits keep your messages helpful and your account safe.
Share Less Than You Think
You do not have to share your real name, address, or workplace to have a good chat. Keep early messages light. Move to email or a video call once you trust the other person.
Watch for Pressure
Scammers try to rush you. They push for fast money, fast trust, or fast action. Slow down. A real friend will wait.
Use the Block Button
If a chat goes off the rails, block. You do not owe anyone a goodbye. Save evidence first if you might want to report.
