Stay smart. Stay safe.
Take your time. Get to know someone. Trust your instincts online and off.
Meeting Someone Online
Take your time. Keep conversations on Rewind until you feel comfortable, and never treat a match as an obligation.
First Date Safety
Meet publicly, arrange transportation, tell a trusted person your plans, keep your phone charged, and leave at any time.
Event Safety
Attend public, accurately described events. An RSVP never implies romantic interest. Report unsafe hosts or activities.
Protecting Personal Information
Do not share your home address, workplace schedule, financial details, passwords, or verification codes.
Romance Scam Warning Signs
Be cautious when someone asks for money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, financial information, claims sudden emergencies, avoids video indefinitely, or pushes immediate off-platform contact.
Catfishing
Watch for inconsistent stories or stolen-looking photos. Consider a video conversation before meeting.
Blocking
Blocking is immediate and private. It stops direct messages, crushes, invites, gifts, and private interactions.
Reporting
Report harassment, scams, threats, underage accounts, unsafe events, or attempts to bypass blocks. Reports are confidential.
Emergency Situations
Rewind reports are not an emergency service. If anyone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
