Staying safe while dating online
- Take your time. Get to know someone in the app before you share personal details.
- Keep chats in the app at first. Scammers often try to move you to another app quickly.
- Protect your details. Don't share your home address, workplace, ID card or bank details.
- Never send money, gift cards or crypto to someone you haven't met, whatever the reason.
- Trust your feelings. If something feels wrong, stop replying, block and report.
If you are in danger, call the police on 191.
