Common traps
- “Active users” usually counts accounts created, not people logging in
- Anyone asking to move to another app within the first two messages
- Profiles with a single professional photo and no bio are often fake
- Free trials that quietly convert into a paid plan
Staying safe
- Keep personal details off your public profile
- Do a video call before meeting in person
- Never send money to someone you have not met, however convincing the story
- Meet in a public place the first time and tell someone where you are going
What to look for first
- An active user base in your own area rather than nationwide totals
- Clear pricing, so you know up front what is free and what is not
- Visible moderation and a report button that actually does something
- No credit card required just to create an account
