Meeting safely
Simple habits that keep first meetups comfortable for everyone.
Before you meet
- Start with the five-minute call. It is there so nobody has to meet a stranger cold.
- Keep contact details inside Simurgsu until you are comfortable. You never have to share a phone number or address.
- Look for the “Identity verified” badge. It means an ID was checked — not a background check or a guarantee.
When you meet
- Meet in a busy public place, and arrange your own way there and back.
- Tell someone you trust where you will be. The plan screen has a “Copy safety plan” button for this.
- Pay your own way. Simurgsu never asks members to pay each other.
- You can leave at any time, for any reason.
Warning signs
- Any request for money, gift cards, crypto or “help” with an emergency.
- Pressure to move off Simurgsu quickly, or to share private details.
- Stories that change, or reluctance to do a call first.
If something feels wrong
Every profile, call, chat and plan has Report or block. Reports are private, free, and the other person is never told who reported them. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
