Reporting is useful, but it may not give you a quick answer or a satisfying explanation. Focus on what you can still control.

Save the details

Keep copies of:

• the profile and username
• messages, links, phone numbers, and email addresses
• payment requests, receipts, wallet addresses, or transaction IDs
• threats, pressure, or requests for private images
• the date and time you reported the account

Do not edit screenshots. Store them somewhere private and do not post another person’s personal information publicly.

Protect yourself after reporting

1. Stop contact and block the account when safe.
2. Contact your bank, card provider, or crypto exchange if money was involved.
3. Change passwords and turn on multi-factor authentication if you shared account details.
4. Tell someone you trust what happened.
5. Contact local emergency services if you face immediate physical danger.

Do not assume a report means the situation is finished. A scammer may contact you from another account or someone may offer to recover your money for a fee.

Questions people ask

Before you decide what to do

Will the dating app tell me what happened after I report someone?

Not always. Platforms may limit what they can share about another account. Keep your own records and take steps to protect your money, accounts, and safety.

Should I keep talking to someone after reporting them?

No. Save the evidence, stop the conversation, and block the account if it is safe to do so. Do not warn the person or negotiate over money.
