At RSVP, creating a safe and enjoyable dating experience is one of our highest priorities.
For more than 25 years, we've helped Australians connect online while continuously working to protect our community from fraud, scams, and inappropriate behaviour. We take member safety seriously and are committed to providing a secure environment where people can build genuine connections with confidence.
Our team actively monitors the platform for suspicious activity and investigates reports of misconduct. We also use a combination of moderation processes and technology to identify potentially fraudulent behaviour and remove profiles that breach our policies.
While we work hard to protect our members, online safety is a shared responsibility. Unfortunately, no online platform can completely eliminate the risk of scammers or individuals acting with dishonest intentions. That's why it's important to stay informed, trust your instincts, and know what steps to take if something doesn't seem right.
Stay Alert While Dating Online
The same common-sense precautions that apply when meeting people offline also apply online.
We recommend that you:
- Take time to get to know someone before sharing personal information.
- Be cautious if someone seems too good to be true.
- Never send money or provide financial assistance to someone you've met online.
- Avoid sharing sensitive information such as banking details, passwords, or copies of identification documents.
- Trust your instincts if something feels unusual or inconsistent.
Remember, genuine relationships develop over time. Be wary of anyone who tries to create an intense emotional connection very quickly or pressures you into making decisions before you're comfortable.
