🚨 Red Flags — Never Ignore These

🔒

Protect Your Personal Information

  • Never share your home address with someone you haven't met in person
  • Don't share your financial details, bank account, or BVN with anyone
  • Avoid sharing your workplace address until you're confident about the person
  • Use PurePairing's messaging system — it keeps you safe
  • Be cautious about sharing your phone number early in a conversation
🤝

Meeting in Person — Do It Safely

  • Always meet in a public place — a café, restaurant, or busy park for first dates
  • Tell a trusted friend or family member where you're going and who you're meeting
  • Arrange your own transport — don't accept rides from someone you just met
  • Keep your phone charged and accessible
  • Don't feel pressured to stay if you feel uncomfortable — it's okay to leave
  • Check in with a friend during or after the date

Avoid Financial Scams

Romance scams are unfortunately common on dating platforms. Protect yourself:

  • PurePairing will never ask you to send money to another member
  • Be very suspicious of anyone who claims to need emergency money
  • Common scam stories: stuck abroad, medical emergency, business deal gone wrong
  • Never send money through wire transfer, gift cards, or cryptocurrency to someone you haven't met
  • Report anyone who asks you for money immediately using the Report button

Photo & Video Safety

  • Be very careful about sharing intimate photos — they can be misused
  • Use a reverse image search (images.google.com) to check if a profile photo is real
  • Request a live video call to verify you're talking to who you think you are
  • Don't share photos that reveal your home, car plate number, or workplace
