Safety Tips
ShadiTerminal is built on trust, but no platform can guarantee everyone's intentions. These simple habits go a long way in keeping your search safe and respectful.
Take your time getting to know someone
There's no rush. Get comfortable with someone through messages before agreeing to a call, a video chat, or an in-person meeting. Genuine matches will respect your pace.
Keep conversations on ShadiTerminal at first
Our private inbox lets you communicate without exposing your phone number, email, or social media accounts. Avoid moving to another app or sharing personal contact details until you feel confident about the other person.
Never send money or financial information
Never send money, gift cards, or banking/financial details to someone you've met on ShadiTerminal — no matter what story or emergency they describe. This is one of the most common scams on any matchmaking platform.
Watch for warning signs
Be cautious of profiles that avoid video calls, pressure you to move quickly, ask for money, refuse to meet family, or have inconsistent stories about their life, job, or location.
Involve your family early
ShadiTerminal is built for family-involved matchmaking. Share your matches and conversations with parents or guardians as early as you're comfortable — a second perspective helps spot concerns you might miss.
Meet in public, with people who know
When you're ready to meet in person, choose a public place, arrange your own transport, and let a friend or family member know where you'll be and when you expect to be back.
Verify what you can
It's reasonable to ask for a video call before meeting, and to gently verify details like where someone works or studies. Genuine matches understand this is normal, not offensive.
Report anything that feels wrong
If a member is disrespectful, dishonest, or makes you uncomfortable in any way, use the Report or Block option on their profile or in your conversation. Our team reviews every report.
Something doesn't feel right?
Report or block any member directly from their profile or your conversation — or reach our team directly and we'll look into it.
