PlaceToChat is a communication platform that connects thousands of people worldwide.
Here platform members talk, watch and interact with streams, discuss and exchange thoughts about any topics, learn about new cultures and improve their communication skills. The benefits of spaces like PlaceToChat are limitless.
However, such freedom comes with responsibility.
Online safety while communicating on the Internet should be a priority, that’s why the verification of creators on PlaceToChat takes time. Although user safety is taken seriously on PlaceToChat, here are a few rules to follow while on a communication platform.
5 safety tips to follow while on PlaceToChat (or any other social media)
1) Avoid sharing the excessive details
Don’t share with strangers you don’t trust such information as the exact place you live in, your full name, phone number, school or office addresses, your family’s pictures, or any bank details. Scammers can use such information to harass and steal valuables from you.
2) Do not trust strangers
It’s great fun to interact with many people from all over the globe. While precautions may seem overwhelming, it’s essential not to trust any random stranger. There are friendly people on the Internet, but possible frauds are hidden among them too.
They cleverly come across as very lovely and naive. Unfortunately, “too good to be true” personas are usually psychopaths waiting to benefit from your trustworthiness.
It doesn’t mean you should wait for a setup everywhere, but suspicious acts of unknown people should alert you.
3) Report mischievous profiles
If, while on PlaceToChat or any other platform, you feel threatened or harassed by someone, it’s a must to report such profiles immediately and seek customer support to block the fraudulent user.
This way you will make social media, where you’re reporting a suspicious person, a safe place to chat for yourself and others.
4) Avoid offline meetings with people you don’t trust
Avoid meeting and connecting with someone you have met online outside of the PlaceToChat or any other platform as it has the probability of falling to unwanted situations.
It’s better not to reveal all information about your identity on the platform as well, but it does not mean you have to fake yourself. Just leave all thoughts and ideas inside the platform.
5) Do not share pictures
Don’t share your pictures during the chat with strangers. As you might not know, someone can use those pictures in illegitimate ways. Therefore, sharing the pictures of the street you’re living on, of your home, or places you regularly visit while chatting with strangers should be avoided.
The PlaceToChat platform is a place to meet talented and skillful people worldwide who share their unique talent through chatting. It’s fun to interact with like-minded people to discuss anything and everything under the sun.
It’s all great, but we must adhere to safety precautions while chatting online with strangers to avoid being put on the spot.
Enjoy yourself, discover new people, interact, learn new things to expose yourself to more unique perspectives. Filling your mind with out-of-the-box ideas leads to developing a more confident personality and starting to find joy in the simplest life moments.
