Nami Safety Center

Slow down. Check. Stay in control.

A practical guide for safer online conversations and first meetings. No badge or verification replaces your own judgment.

Six essentials

01

Understand verification

A photo or ID check can reduce impersonation, but it cannot prove someone’s intentions, history, or future conduct.

  • Treat a badge as one signal, not a guarantee.
  • Check that stories stay consistent over time.
  • A refused video call can be a warning sign, not automatic proof.
02

Protect the conversation

Keep early conversations on the platform until you feel comfortable. Do not let anyone rush you onto another app.

  • Never share passwords, one-time codes, identity numbers, or banking details.
  • Avoid exposing your home, workplace, or fixed routine.
  • Do not open unfamiliar login, payment, or “verification” links.
03

Recognize money scams

Romance scams often create urgency, trust, or guilt before asking for something valuable.

  • Never send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or account access.
  • Travel, visa, medical, customs, parcel, or emergency fees are common stories.
  • Do not follow a match’s investment advice or move money to a “safe account.”
04

Meet on your terms

A short voice or video call can help before an in-person meeting. You decide the pace and can cancel at any time.

  • Meet in a busy public place and arrange your own transport.
  • Tell someone you trust where you are and when you expect to return.
  • Keep your phone charged; leave if you feel pressured or uncomfortable.
05

Consent and private images

Consent must be clear, specific, and reversible. Unwanted sexual content and threats are not acceptable.

  • Do not share intimate images under pressure.
  • If someone threatens to expose material, do not pay or bargain.
  • Preserve the account, messages, links, and timestamps, then report.
06

Report and recover

Block and report suspicious behavior. Evidence helps a platform, payment provider, or local authority respond.

  • Save relevant screenshots without redistributing private material.
  • If money was sent, contact the bank or payment provider immediately.
  • For immediate danger, leave the area and contact local emergency services.
