Keep your personal details personal
Start with interests, not identifying details. Keep your home address, workplace, identity documents and bank information private. Stay on the dating platform for early conversations where possible, and use its report or block tools if available.
Be cautious with money and investment talk
Do not send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency or account access to someone you only know online. Urgent emergencies, investment coaching and requests to move money for another person are reasons to stop and reassess. A detailed profile or convincing photograph does not prove identity.
Make your first meeting easy to leave
Choose a busy, staffed public venue. Tell a trusted person your plans, arrange your own transport and keep your belongings and drink with you. Avoid sharing your home address or accepting a lift for a first meeting. Leave if you feel uncomfortable.
Respect a clear yes, and every no
Talk about intentions and boundaries without pressure. Consent needs to be freely given and can change. Registration, a reply, a date or a gift never creates an obligation to continue, meet again or become intimate.
If something feels wrong, pause
You can stop a conversation or leave a meeting without justifying your decision. Save relevant evidence if safe, and use the destination platform’s support and reporting options. For immediate danger in Australia, call 000.
