The line is built for anonymity — your number is never shown, and no profile exists. These habits keep it that way.
First name only. Skip your last name, exact address, workplace, license plate, and anything that pinpoints you. A general part of town is plenty for a good conversation.
Nobody legitimate on a chat line needs your card number, banking details, gift cards, or a "small loan." Anyone asking for money, in any form, is a scam — disconnect and move on.
The anonymity only works while you're on the line. Be cautious about moving to personal numbers, social media, or messaging apps with someone you've just met — there's no rush.
Public place, daylight hours, your own transportation, and a friend who knows where you are and when to expect a check-in. Keep the first meeting short.
If a conversation turns pushy, aggressive, or just off, end it — instantly and without explanation. The next greeting is one press away.
Plenty of callers are discreet, married, or not out — and the line is built for that. You never have to explain your situation, and you should be just as careful with another caller's privacy as you'd want him to be with yours.
Callers are not screened or background-checked. Treat everyone as a stranger until they've earned otherwise, no matter how good the conversation is.
