Blunt take: Pause and verify before moving off-app, especially if urgency appears early.
What usually happens: Legit matches can wait for a short call or basic consistency checks.
Red flags: Money requests, emergency stories, refusal to video, and emotional pressure tactics.
Treat verification as standard. Serious people respect boundaries; scammers resist them.
What to do next: Keep your standards high, move at a clear pace, and exit fast when effort is one-sided.
Bottom line: trust behavior over promises and keep your standards non-negotiable.
