Your personal safety

Never post your surname, address, phone numbers or sensitive personal information directly onto your profile.

Make sure that you know the identity of the person to whom you are chatting.

Never give money or your bank details to anyone you've met online.

When you are first communicating with other members, take your time to build an impression of them.

When you arrange to meet another member, you should have formed a good idea of the type of person they are from previous conversations. Be clear about the person you're going to be meeting: take a photo of them with you,

Always arrange to meet them in a busy public place; never agree to be picked up or dropped off at home by the person you are meeting.

Make a point of telling a friend who it is that you are planning to meet. Consider taking a friend with you (perhaps ask the person you are meeting to bring a friend, as well).

If at any stage you feel nervous, always get up and leave and then report back to habibis4u immediately.

Should you wish to stop the attentions of another member, simply click on the 'Delete contact' button and you will be able to prevent further contact from this person.

Regrettably, we are obliged to add that if we suspect a member's behaviour is bordering on criminality, we will assist law enforcement agencies in any necessary investigation. Furthermore, we will in no way support, endorse or verify immigration applications for any members whether in the UK or abroad.
