Make every interaction safer.

• Talk through the details

  Confirm the location, timing, agreed services or activity, price and any additional costs in advance. Do not assume anything that has not been agreed.

• Keep control of your transport

  Plan how you will arrive and leave. If possible, use your own transport or have a reliable way to get home.

• Tell someone you trust

  Consider sharing your general plans and arranging a check-in with a trusted person. Avoid sharing another person’s private details without permission.

• Choose a setting carefully

  For a first meeting, consider a public place first when appropriate. If you proceed elsewhere, make sure you feel comfortable with the arrangements.

• Keep your phone charged

  Make sure you can contact someone, access transport information and leave if you choose to.

• Do not share passwords, one-time codes, banking PINs or account recovery links.
• Think carefully before sharing your home address, workplace, identity documents or live location.
• Never take, save, publish or forward intimate images of another person without their explicit consent.
• Be cautious with links, files and requests to move quickly to unfamiliar websites or apps.

• Be cautious if someone demands unexpected deposits, “release fees”, gift cards, cryptocurrency or repeated payments to prove trust.
• Confirm the agreed amount and what it covers before making any payment.
• Never share your M-Pesa PIN, card PIN, mobile banking password or verification code to receive money.
• Keep transaction messages or receipts if you need to report suspected fraud. Contact your payment provider promptly if you believe you have been scammed.

• Discuss boundaries clearly and respect the other person’s decisions.
• Do not continue if someone is hesitant, incapacitated, frightened or unable to freely agree.
• Do not use threats, coercion, blackmail or force. Leave a situation that feels unsafe.

If you see a suspicious profile, suspected scam, impersonation, coercion or an image shared without consent, report it through the site. Include clear details and relevant evidence where it is safe and lawful to do so. Do not publicly post someone’s personal information as retaliation.
