Remember, common sense and normal precautions should be taken just as if you’re meeting people in person.  Trust your instincts and be safe.

• Remain completely anonymous until you feel ready to share your information.
• Don’t feel rushed to meet in person until you are completely comfortable.
• When you actually meet in person, pick a public place and make sure you have your own transportation.  Tell a friend where you're going and check in when you get home.
• Never include personal contact information in your profile, especially phone numbers, email, home address or your last name.
• Ask a lot of questions and watch for inconsistencies.
• Stay away from members who won't take no for an answer or pressure you for any kind of private information.
• Report any concerns immediately – solicitations, inappropriate content (in writing or in pictures), or unlawful behavior.
• When in doubt, just ask yourself, “WWUD?”  (What would Umma do?)
• Trust your instincts and have fun!
