Staying Safe on LeoList®
At LeoList®, your safety and security are our top priorities. Here are some important tips to help you stay safe while using our site:
1. Protect Your Personal Information
- Limit Personal Details: Avoid sharing sensitive personal information such as your address, phone number, or financial details in your profile or messages. For more tips, visit FTC’s guide on keeping your personal information secure.
- Verify Information: Be cautious about who you share your information with. Verify the identity of anyone you communicate with before sharing personal details. Learn more about identity verification from IdentityTheft.gov.
2. Be Cautious with Communication
- Use Platform Messaging: Communicate through the platform’s messaging system rather than sharing your personal email or phone number. For additional safety tips, check out Cyber Aware’s guidance on staying safe online.
- Report Suspicious Activity: If you receive any suspicious or unwanted messages, report them to our moderation team immediately. You can also learn more about reporting suspicious activity at IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center).
3. Meet in Safe Locations
- Public Places: If you decide to meet someone in person, always choose a public place for the meeting. Avoid secluded or private locations. For tips on safe meeting practices, visit Get Safe Online’s advice on online dating.
- Inform a Friend: Let a friend or family member know your plans, including where and when you’ll be meeting. This is a key safety tip highlighted by RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network).
4. Trust Your Instincts
- Listen to Your Gut: If something feels off or makes you uncomfortable, trust your instincts and end the conversation or interaction. For more on trusting your instincts, see Psychology Today’s article on trusting your instincts.
- Be Skeptical: Be wary of individuals who pressure you for personal information or who seem too good to be true.
5. Be Aware of Scams
- Recognize Scams: Be on the lookout for common scams, such as requests for money or fake offers. If something seems suspicious, report it. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre provides useful information on identifying scams.
- Do Not Send Money: Never send money or financial information to anyone you do not know personally. For additional advice on avoiding financial scams, visit CBC News’ guide to spotting scams.
6. Use Secure Passwords
- Create Strong Passwords: Use a strong, unique password for your account. Avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays or common words. For tips on creating strong passwords, see Australian Cyber Security Centre’s guidance.
- Change Password Regularly: Update your password regularly to enhance security. The Stay Safe Online’s password tips can help you with this.
7. Report Violations
- Flag Inappropriate Behavior: Report any content or behavior that violates our rules or seems inappropriate. Your reports help us keep the community safe.
