Advice on secure online meetings

HaveMeet is a website dedicated to assisting you in meeting new people securely. We strive to make online dating a fun experience for all our members. We strive to provide a high level of privacy and security on our website. To achieve this, we conduct regular checks. However it’s not always to predict people’s behaviour both on and off the site. Therefore, we recommend that you remain vigilant when meeting someone new whom you don’t yet know well.-Yyou must always be aware of the possible online presence of fraudsters, liars and scammers. There have been cases where online dating services have been used for improper purposes. For example, some users sign up for the Site, but they are not actually looking for partners. They use your personal data to send unwanted advertising or ask for money (actions known as "scams" or fraud). To protect you from unwanted contacts, we have compiled a list of suggestions to help you stay safe.

Never send money nor share banking information.

  1. Always avoid sending money (by bank transfer or postepay). There will never be good reasons why a user you’ve just met or chatted with should ask for money. Never share your bank details that could be used for fraudulent purposes, rather report it immediately. 
  2. Be careful. Some take advantage of people looking for fun by sending them a friend request and trying to get information through illegal advertising or redirecting them to other paid sites, or making requests for credit card data or cash.

Protect your personal data.

  1. Do not provide personal information too soon. Never provide your first name, surname, home address, phone number or other sensitive personal information if you do not know who you are dealing with. If you have children, avoid uploading photos and immediately stop talking to other users by going into too much detail about your children’s names, school or other things related to your children. This Site uses a chat system in which none of your personal online information will be made available to other members. Only use our internal messaging system.

Take your time to get to know people better and develop a relationship of trust.
  1. Trust your instinct. If at any time you feel insecure or uncomfortable, for your safety and protection, keep your distance. Beware of those who seem too good or perfect to be true. Start communicating with other users exclusively through this dating site, pay attention to any strange behaviour or inconsistencies in their profile, conversations or actions. The person on the other end may not be who or what he/she claims to be. Do not hesitate to ask all the questions you want to remove any doubts and deepen the knowledge.;

Watch out for long distance relationships.

  1. It can happen that those who want to commit a scam use as an excuse to be in other countries and need money for more or less serious reasons. Be wary of people who are ambiguous and don’t want to insert a photo, who evade your questions, or who are willing to start a serious relationship right away without even knowing you.

Report suspiscious or offensive behaviour immediately.

  1. If you feel that a person has been disrespectful to you, let us know, blocking and/or reporting the user. Below is a list of some examples of violations:

  1. Requesting for money
  2. Underage users
  3. Harassment, threats and offensive messges
  4. Inappropriate or violent behaviour during chat interaction
  5. Fake and fraudulent profiles
  6. Spam messages with links to external sites of any nature
  7. Attempts to sell services or products
You can report any suspicious behaviour directly from the app from the person’s profile. For more information, please check our Terms and Conditions.

Sharing your computer with other people

  1. Make sure no one else can access your personal e-mail messages and obtain access data to our Sites.
  2. This is the only way your profile could be read by other people.Choose a strong password and keep it safe.

Remember that we never ask what your username or password is, unless you have contacted us for a support request to our customer care address, in which case you may be asked for your username (and only this, we never ask for your password) to help us find your profile in the system. If you receive such an email, report it immediately because it is phishing.
