What verification means

Manual approval and profile photo verification help reduce false accounts, but they do not amount to a criminal background check, financial check, guarantee of identity, guarantee of intentions or guarantee of conduct.

Protect your personal and financial information

• Do not send money, cryptocurrency, vouchers or gifts to someone you have only met online.

• Keep your home address and routine private until genuine trust has developed.

Before meeting
