Safety Tips

🔒 Protect Your Personal Information

• •Never share financial information – Don't give out your bank details, credit card numbers, or send money to anyone you meet online.
• •Keep personal details private – Avoid sharing your home address, workplace, or daily routine until you truly trust someone.
• •Use MyMintie's chat – Keep conversations on the app until you're comfortable. This protects your phone number and other contact info.
• •Be cautious with photos – Avoid sharing photos that reveal your location, workplace, or other identifying information.

🚩 Recognizing Red Flags

Be alert to warning signs that someone may not be who they claim:

• •Asks for money – Scammers often create elaborate stories to request financial help. Never send money to someone you haven't met.
• •Refuses to video chat – If someone always has excuses to avoid video calls, they may be hiding their true identity.
• •Moves too fast – Be wary of someone who professes strong feelings very quickly or pressures you to commit.
• •Inconsistent stories – Pay attention if details about their life don't add up or keep changing.
• •Wants to leave the app immediately – Scammers often try to move to other platforms quickly to avoid detection.

☕ Meeting In Person

When you're ready to meet someone from MyMintie in person:

• •Meet in public – Choose a busy café, restaurant, or public venue for your first few dates. Avoid private locations.
• •Tell someone your plans – Share where you're going, who you're meeting, and when you expect to be back with a trusted friend or family member.
• •Arrange your own transport – Drive yourself or use public transport. Don't rely on your date for rides, especially on first meetings.
• •Stay sober – Keep a clear head by limiting alcohol consumption. Never leave your drink unattended.
• •Trust your instincts – If something feels wrong, leave. Your safety is more important than being polite.
