Open platforms attract scammers. Knowing the common patterns makes them easy to avoid.

Catfishing

Stolen photos, vague answers and refusal to video chat are classic signs.

Money and gift-card requests

Anyone asking for money, gift cards or crypto is almost certainly a scammer.

Verification-code scams

Never share codes sent to your phone; they can be used to take over your accounts.

Sextortion

If someone threatens to share images unless you pay, don't pay. Stop responding, save evidence, report and seek support from local authorities.

Fake apps

Unofficial Sniffies APKs and lookalike sites can steal your data.
