Stay Safe on AfriVibe
Never send money to someone you met online, no matter how convincing their story is.
Be cautious of anyone who avoids video calls after video messaging is unlocked.
Do not share your home address until you have met in person safely in a public place.
Report anyone who asks you for financial help, gift cards, or wire transfers.
Take your time — real love is not a race. Scammers create false urgency to pressure you.
Always arrange your first in-person meeting in a busy public place during daylight hours.
Never share your personal phone number before meeting someone in person.
AfriVibe will never ask for your password. Do not share it with anyone.
