Online
- Keep chats in the app until you trust someone. Our block and report tools only work inside TamilVibe.
- Never send money, gifts, crypto or investment funds to someone you haven't met, however convincing the story.
- Protect your personal details: home address, workplace, financial information and passwords.
- Look for the verified badge, and be cautious if someone avoids a video call or keeps making excuses not to meet.
- Trust your gut. If something feels off, block and report.
Meeting in person
- Meet in a busy public place, and get there and home on your own.
- Tell a friend or family member where you're going and who you're meeting, and share your location if you can.
- Stay in control: watch your drink and keep your phone charged.
- It's always fine to leave whenever you want.
Consent
Consent must be clear, enthusiastic and ongoing, and can be withdrawn at any time. Being matched, chatting, or going on a date never means someone has agreed to anything.
Reporting
Tap ••• on any profile or chat, then choose Report. Reporting also blocks the person. A real person reviews every report, and we aim to act on objectionable content within 24 hours. You can also email tamilvibe.help@gmail.com.
