This page provides general safety information for users of MissBackpage. This information is advisory only and does not constitute guarantees, monitoring, or protection services.

MissBackpage does not verify users or listings. All listings are user-submitted and unverified. The platform functions as a classifieds directory and does not perform background checks, identity verification, or content validation.

You are responsible for your own safety and personal judgment when using this platform. Use caution, trust your instincts, and make informed decisions about any interactions or meetings.

Use caution when interacting with unknown users on this platform. Listings are user-submitted and unverified, so you should exercise personal judgment in all interactions.

Be alert to signs of pressure, urgency, or inconsistent information. If someone is pushing you to act quickly, making unrealistic promises, or providing information that doesn't add up, these may be warning signs.

Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong or makes you uncomfortable, disengage from the interaction. You are under no obligation to continue any communication or meeting.

If you choose to meet with someone from a listing, prioritize your safety:

• Prefer public or familiar locations for first meetings
• Inform a trusted person about your plans, including where you're going and who you're meeting
• Avoid secluded or unfamiliar places, especially for initial meetings
• Leave immediately if the situation feels unsafe or uncomfortable
• Remember you have no obligation to continue any interaction

Be cautious with payment requests, especially upfront payments before services are provided. Scammers often use urgency, pressure, or emotional manipulation to convince victims to send money quickly.

Be particularly wary of requests for:

• Deposits or upfront payments
• Gift cards or prepaid cards
• Cryptocurrency transfers
• Wire transfers or money orders

Be skeptical of unrealistic offers, deals that seem too good to be true, or situations where someone is pressuring you to act immediately. Legitimate transactions typically do not require urgent action.

Do not share sensitive personal information with strangers, including:

• Home address or exact location
• Government-issued IDs or identification numbers
• Financial account details, credit card numbers, or banking information
• Passwords or security credentials

Use the platform's contact methods for initial communication. Only share personal contact details or other private information at your own discretion and after you've established trust through initial interactions.

Exercise caution when receiving links or attachments from unknown users. Be wary of shortened URLs or suspicious-looking links that may lead to malicious websites or downloads.

Do not install apps, software, or browser extensions suggested by others, especially if they claim it's necessary for communication or verification.

Keep records of important communications where possible, but be mindful of privacy and do not share screenshots or private conversations without consent.

If you encounter suspicious or unsafe listings, you can report them through the contact form. Reporting helps maintain platform quality and may assist other users.

Please note that reporting does not guarantee any specific action will be taken. The platform reviews reports but makes no commitment regarding response time or outcomes.
