Scam & Fraud Prevention
At Meet Positives, your safety and privacy come first. While most members join with genuine intentions, online dating platforms can sometimes attract bad actors. This page is designed to help you recognize common scams, protect yourself, and know exactly what to do if something feels off.
Our team actively monitors suspicious behavior, but staying informed is one of the best ways to stay safe.
Common Scams to Watch Out For
Be cautious if someone you’ve just met:
🚩 Requests Money or Financial Help
- Claims of emergencies, medical bills, or sudden financial hardship
- Requests for gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, or cash
- Pressure to send money quickly or secretly
Meet Positives will never ask you to send money to another user.
🚩 Moves Conversations Off the Platform Quickly
- Asks to switch to email, WhatsApp, Telegram, or another app immediately
- Avoids using Meet Positives messaging
Scammers often try to move conversations off-platform to avoid detection.
🚩 Shares Inconsistent or Vague Information
- Stories don’t add up over time
- Refuses video calls or live photos
- Uses overly scripted or generic messages
🚩 Investment or “Too Good to Be True” Offers
- Cryptocurrency or trading opportunities

These are common fraud tactics and should be reported immediately.
