Keeping Safe Online

🛡️Rule Number One: Trust Your Instincts

Always listen to that inner voice of yours! If something feels amiss or someone makes you uneasy, say goodbye and don't look back. Remember, your safety is paramount, and you can always block or report anyone who seems a bit fishy! 🧊🔍

🔒Keep Those Personal Details Locked Up

Hold off on sharing personal info during the early stages. Stick to first names, and avoid sharing your number, address, or social media. For an extra cloak of safety, consider taking advantage of Keep Fit's chat feature for fitness discussions! 📱🛡️

📷Picture Perfect Privacy

Choose unique photos for your fitness profile to prevent them from being linked back to your other online spaces. Always ensure your photos respect privacy and safety, shielding you and those around you from unwanted attention. 🖼️🔍

🚩Spotting the Scammer Signals

Keep a keen eye out for these pesky signs:

• Distant Matches: Keep it local when possible 🌎🔍
• Too Glam to Be True: Supermodel shots might be a façade 📸🤔
• Outside Contact: Beware of those pushing to chat off the platform 📱❌
• Consistency Checks: Watch for mismatching details and story changes 🧐🔎
• Too Good To Be True: If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

🔴Keeping it Real in the Real World

When meeting your fitness partner in person:

• Phone Chats: Get a sense of them through voice before meeting 📞🗣️
• Video Chats: Make sure they look like their profile by having a quick video chat before meeting up.
• Detective Time: A quick online search can sometimes ensure their story holds water 🕵️‍♂️🔍
• Public Places: Always meet in a public, familiar spot for initial meet-ups 🏙️🌟
• Tell a Friend: Let someone know where you're going and who you're meeting
• Stay Sober: Keep your wits about you by limiting alcohol
• Transportation: Arrange your own way there and back
• Check In: Set up a safety call or text with a friend during the meeting
