Before and during
Keep control of what the other person can learn or influence.
Remove addresses, documents, work screens, school details, and notification previews from the frame. Share interests before identifiers. A person who respects you will not need immediate access to your accounts, money, or private material.
Common pressure patterns include urgent financial stories, requests for verification codes, threats involving captured media, and insistence on moving to a less accountable channel. End the interaction instead of negotiating with the pressure.
- →Never share passwords or one-time codes
- →Do not send money or financial access to a new contact
