Before You Chat

  • Do not share your address, banking details, or identity documents.
  • Use AfroConnect messaging so suspicious behavior can be reported.

During Conversation

  • Be cautious if someone quickly asks for money or gifts.
  • Be cautious if someone pressures you to move to private apps immediately.
  • Trust your instincts and block/report if something feels unsafe.

Before Meeting Offline

If Something Goes Wrong
