1. Protect your personal information

Never share sensitive data such as your address, phone number, email address, or banking information with people you haven't met in person yet. Malicious individuals can use this information for fraudulent purposes. (RAINN.org)

2. Beware of financial requests

Never respond to requests for money, even if the person seems sincere. Scammers are often skilled at manipulating emotions or creating a sense of urgency. If you send money, it's unlikely you'll get it back. (InternationalCupid.com)

3. Stay vigilant and report suspicious behavior

If someone makes you uncomfortable or violates our terms of use, don't hesitate to block and report them. Behaviors to report include:

  • Requests for money or donations.
  • Solicitation of inappropriate photos or videos.
  • Use of the platform by minors.
  • Harassing or offensive messages.
  • Inappropriate behavior during in-person meetings.
  • Fake profiles or spam activities.

4. Take time to get to know your match

Before meeting someone in person, engage in thorough conversations to get to know them better. Malicious individuals may try to rush a meeting to avoid revealing themselves. (RAINN.org)

5. Choose public places for meetings

For a first meeting, always choose a public place and inform a friend or family member of your plans. Make sure your phone is charged and you have your own means of transportation to leave at any time if necessary. (InternationalCupid.com)

6. Consume alcohol in moderation

If you decide to drink during a meeting, do so in moderation. Stay in control of your faculties to ensure your safety. Never leave your drink unattended and be attentive to signs of discomfort. (RAINN.org)

7. Account deletion

To delete your account, you must log in to the Gemseek application, go to the profile view and select settings. Then, you can delete your account by clicking on the delete my account button.

8. In case of emergency

If you find yourself in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services. For support or advice, consider reaching out to the following international resources:

  • International Directory of Domestic Violence Agencies: Provides a global list of helplines and support services.
  • RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): Offers resources and support for sexual assault survivors. (rainn.org)
  • National Human Trafficking Hotline: Assists individuals affected by human trafficking. (internationalcupid.com)

Your vigilance is essential to ensure your safety and that of the community. By following these recommendations, you help create a safer online dating environment for everyone.
