1. Trust your instincts
If something feels off, slow down. You never owe anyone your time, attention, contact details, or a meeting. It is always okay to stop replying, block, or report someone.
2. Keep conversations on-platform at first
Use the messaging features on Welsh Singles Dating until you are comfortable. This makes it easier to block, report, and review interactions if something goes wrong.
3. Protect your personal details
- Do not share your full home address, workplace, financial information, or identity documents.
- Be cautious about giving out your personal email, phone number, or social media too early.
- Avoid sending intimate photos that could later be misused.
4. Watch for common scam signs
- They quickly declare strong feelings or try to build intense emotional pressure.
- They avoid video calls or always have excuses for not meeting.
- They ask for money, gift cards, crypto, transport costs, emergencies, or “temporary help”.
- Their stories do not add up or seem copied and pasted.
- They try to move you off the platform immediately.
5. Arrange first meetings carefully
- Meet in a busy public place.
- Tell a friend or family member where you are going.
- Arrange your own transport both ways.
- Keep your phone charged and accessible.
- Limit alcohol or anything that affects judgement.
6. Verify where you can
Use profile verification features if available. Consider a voice or video call before meeting. You can also do a quick sense-check by asking normal, specific questions about their life and listening for consistent answers.
7. Report concerns immediately
Please report suspicious, abusive, manipulative, or unsafe behaviour to us as soon as possible. Reports help us investigate and protect other members too.
8. Emergency situations
If you believe you are in immediate danger or a crime has been committed, contact the police or emergency services first. After that, let us know so we can take action on the account involved.
