Dating Safety Tips

Online Safety

• Do not share Financial Information and send any money It is difficult to verify if anyone claims to have emergencies, and it is nearly impossible to reverse any transaction nor trace how the money goes. Therefore we do not suggest any users to send any money and please do not hesitate to report in case you encounter someone asking you for money. For tips on avoiding romance or online scams, check out some advice from the website of the authorities of your country.

• Protect Your Personal Information Keep your Identification number, social security number, home or work address, or details about your daily routine (e.g., that you go to a certain gym every Monday) to yourself only. The least you share the more yourself is protected. If you have kids, do limit the information (their names, where they go to school, or their ages or genders) that you share about them on your profile or in early communications.

• Stay on the Platform Keep conversations on MillionBB platform while you’re getting to know someone. Users with bad intentions often try to move the conversation to text, messaging apps, email, or phone right away.

• Be Wary of Long Distance and Overseas Relationships Ask more questions to verify people’s stories, and tell them to your friends or families to ask for advice if it is applicable. If people ask you for money without answering your questions or avoiding meeting in person or taking calls, there is a good chance they are hiding something from you and with bad intentions. People who claim to be from your country but are stuck somewhere else asking for financial help to return home are usually scammers.

• Report All Suspicious and Offensive Behavior Please Block and report anyone with suspicious and offensive behavior, they probably violate our terms, such as:
• Requests for money or donations
• Underage users
• Harassment, threats, and offensive messages
• Inappropriate or harmful behavior during or after meeting in person
• Fraudulent profiles
• Spam or solicitation including links to commercial websites or attempts to sell products or services
You can report any concerns about suspicious behavior from any profile page or messaging window.

• Protect Your Account Be sure to pick a strong password, and always be careful when logging into your account from a public or shared computer. MillionBB will never send you an email asking for your username and password information — if you receive an email asking for account information, report it immediately.

Meeting in Person

• Verify first Take your time and get to know the other person before agreeing to meet or chat off MillionBB. Don’t be afraid to ask questions to screen for any red flags or personal dealbreakers. A phone or video call can be a useful screening tool before meeting.

• Meet in Public and Stay in Public Avoid meeting at your home, the counterpart’s home or any private location for the first time, choosing a populated, public area for the first few times is always a wise decision. End the date if the counterpart attempts to push you to go to a private location.

• Inform trusted parties about your plans Tell a friend or family member of your plans, including when and where you’re going. Have your cell phone charged and with you at all times.

• Be in Control of Your Transportation We want you to be in control of how you get to and from your date so that you can leave whenever you want. If you’re driving yourself, it’s a good idea to have a backup plan such as a ride-share app or a friend to pick you up.

• Understand your own limits Drugs or alcohol can impair your judgment and your alertness, do make sure you know your own limits. End the date if necessary, particularly when your counterpart pushes you to take drugs or drink beyond your limits.

• Be attentive to your Drinks or Personal Items Avoid drinks poured or served not directly from the bartender or server. Be alert to where your drink is because many substances with no smell, no color, and no tasteless can be put into drinks to facilitate harassment including sexual assault. Keep your personal belongings with you at all times, especially if they contain personal information about you.

• Leave anytime when you feel uncomfortable It’s okay to end the date early if you’re feeling uncomfortable. In fact, it’s encouraged. And if your instincts are telling you something is off or you feel unsafe, ask the bartender or server for help.

Sexual Health & Consent

• Protect Yourself When used correctly and consistently, condoms can significantly reduce the risk of contracting and passing on STI’s like HIV. But, be aware of STIs like herpes or HPV that can be passed on through skin-to-skin contact. The risk of contracting some STIs can be reduced through vaccination.

• Know Your Status Not all STIs show symptoms, and you don’t want to be in the dark about your status. Stay on top of your health and prevent the spread of STIs by getting tested regularly.

• Talk About It Communication is everything: Before you get physically intimate with a partner, talk about sexual health and STI testing. And be aware — in some places, it’s actually a crime to knowingly pass on an STI.

• Consent All sexual activity must start with consent and should include ongoing check-ins with your partner. Verbal communication can help you and your partner ensure that you respect each other’s boundaries. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, and sex is never owed to anyone. Do not proceed if your partner seems uncomfortable or unsure, or if your partner is unable to consent due to the effects of drugs or alcohol.
