VanaChat Safety Center

Social Awareness

Recognize manipulation, scams, privacy risks, and unhealthy online behavior.

Common warning signs

Requests for money, gift cards, crypto payments, passwords, or verification codes.
Pressure to move immediately to another app or to keep the conversation secret.
Threats to publish images, claims of an emergency that require payment, or links that ask you to sign in.
Attempts to obtain your address, workplace, school, financial details, or identity documents.

Pause before you act

A friendly video conversation is not proof of identity or intent. Verify independently, protect your personal information, and end the chat if someone creates urgency or pressure.
