Online Safety Tips

Take the steps below to ensure you get a positive fun experience connecting with other Africans.

Online scammers most times try to move conversations off the website, so ensure you communicate with your match using our secure messaging system on Meengu to video chat with other Africans around you. Be careful of anyone trying to move your conversation away from the platform as quickly as possible, only do so when you feel comfortable and gotten to know your new friend well. 

We always advise our members to only message verified users because we take our time to verify all our members and reduce catfish accounts through our fraud detection algorithms.

Once you find a potential match, video call the user to build chemistry and real connections before getting to meet in person. This helps prevent catfish accounts and wrong expectations.

Never share your financial information like your house address, BVN, Passport No, Credit Card details, Social Security Number, or other private bank information that can be used to access your bank account.

Please stop chatting with any match that pressures you for such information and report them to Meengu. 

It’s okay to talk about interests, life goals, cultures, and other fun activities but avoid sharing personal information with new matches like home/work address, passwords, or any information that can be used to locate you.

Only give out your phone number when you have built a rapport and feel comfortable.

Report any unusual behaviour, fraudulent activities or absurd conversations to Meengu either by blocking/reporting the profile or send an email to support@meengu.com

Once you get along with someone on Meengu, meet your new friend in a public busy place (restaurant, cinema, bar, recreational parks, e.t.c.) with roads that are easily accessible. Avoid private locations on your first meetup especially places that are scanty and hard to location.

Keep all your personal belongings like your wallet/purse, keys, bank token, credit cards e.t.c. with you always.

If you do not feel comfortable during your hangout or notice any unusual behavior or activity, please take precautions, and leave as soon as you can.

Don’t leave your drink unattended to while on a date or hangout and do not be pressured to take alcohol or drugs especially if it’s not something you have been used to.

If you are to drink alcohol, don’t drink more than your tolerance level and if you are being pressured to drink further or take any substance you are not comfortable with, take an excuse to the restroom, and leave as soon as you can.
