Safety and direct contact
Practical guidance for protecting privacy and making careful decisions when contacting an independent advertiser.
Direct contact requires personal judgment. Compare the conversation with the published profile, confirm expectations clearly and stop when information becomes inconsistent or pressure is used.
Before sharing information
Do not share passwords, identity documents or unnecessary travel and financial details. Be cautious with advance-payment requests, confirm the contact method independently and tell a trusted person when personal safety may be affected.
Urgent and non-urgent concerns
Use the complaints channel for profile or platform concerns. Contact the relevant local emergency service when someone faces immediate danger; the platform contact form is not an emergency service.
