  • Be wary of vague answers or if someone is just beating around the bush. Some situations to look out for and be vary of are:

    • Someone asking for money or your bank details for any reason what so ever.
    • Love at first sight communication! You or your families have not even met, so how is that possible?
    • Inconsistent answers to your questions.
Do your own research
  • Ask an elder or a scholar or friends in the community for a character reference of the person you are communicating with.
Report abuse
  • Do not tolerate abuse. For example it is unacceptable for anyone:

    • to use foul language when communicating with you.
    • to send you indecent messages or links to you.
    • to threaten or pressurize you in anyway.
