Trust and safety
Safety Centre
Everything you need to date confidently: how to stay safe, how to spot a scam, and how to report or block someone.
Dating safely
Take your time
Anyone who is genuine will wait. Pressure to move fast is itself a warning sign.
Keep conversations here first
Our messaging keeps a record and lets us act if something goes wrong.
Never send money
No money, no gift cards, no cryptocurrency, no bank details. Not once, not for any reason.
Protect your information
No home address, no workplace, no ID documents, no intimate photographs.
Meet in public
Arrange first meetings in busy public places and make your own travel arrangements.
Tell someone you trust
Share your plans and your location with a friend or family member before you meet.
Report a profile
Every profile has a Report button. Reports are confidential — the member is never told who reported them — and each one is reviewed by a moderator. You can report:
- • Fake profile
- • Scam or fraud
- • Harassment
- • Sexual harassment
- • Impersonation
- • Financial solicitation
- • Inappropriate content
- • Suspicious behaviour
Block a member
Blocking takes effect immediately. A blocked member can no longer message you, and your conversation is closed to them. You can unblock someone later from your settings, and blocking is always separate from reporting — you can do both.
Our anti-scam policy
Asking another member for money, financial assistance, travel money, visa fees, gift cards or cryptocurrency results in immediate removal from Purely Matched. Our messaging system automatically flags this language and warns both members. Purely Matched is a dating community — it is not a route to a visa, immigration sponsorship, financial support or a guaranteed marriage, and we will never tell you otherwise.
