1. Trust ur instincts. If anything makes u uncomfortable (eg: asking for airtime or pics of u or swearing etc), walk away for ur own safety and report the user asap
2. Choose a non-identifiable screen name and keep it clean - else u r asking for the wrong sort of attention
3. Refrain from giving out any personal info at the start - stick to first names only and be vague about ur address
4. Don't be in a rush to meet ur contacts and don't let them rush u. Use caution and common sense
5. Keep an open mind as contacts can be selective with the truth about age, weight etc
6. Dont rely on a photo. It could be an old pic or a pic of someone else
7. Pay attention to displays of anger, frustration or attempts to pressure or control u
8. When u r ready to take it further, start with a phone call from a private number
9. Never leave or go home with ur contact u just met
10. If you do meet, do it in daylight, with a friend, in a very public place and tell someone where you are going
