Safety tips

Most people you meet on Magulthula are sincere. These simple habits help keep you and your family safe.

Protect your personal information

• Never share your sign-in code with anyone. Magulthula staff will never ask for it.
• Do not share your home address, workplace details, bank details or identity documents until you know someone well.

Be careful with money

• Never send money or gifts to someone you have not met in person, whatever the reason given.
• Be cautious of stories about emergencies, customs fees, visas or investments.

Get to know someone gradually

• Take your time, and involve your family as you would with any proposal.
• Be wary of anyone who avoids video calls or meeting in person, or whose story changes.

Meeting in person

• Meet in a public place, and tell a family member or friend where you are going.
• Arrange your own transport, and leave if you feel uncomfortable.

If something feels wrong

Stop contacting the person and let us know. We review reports and can suspend accounts that put members at risk.
