Who is to be blamed if you experience a scam on andwemet?
It’s a question many singles ask when joining a dating platform, and it deserves an honest answer.
Let’s start with a fact: a scammer can be of either gender. Scams are carried out by both men and women. They may pretend to be someone they’re not, cheat people of money, manipulate emotionally, become abusive, or misbehave during interactions.
So, who carries the blame when this happens?
1. The scammer
The primary blame always lies with the scammer. They knowingly misrepresent, deceive, and exploit trust. Whether it’s through fake stories, requests for money, or abusive behavior they are responsible for their actions.
2. The role of the dating platform (andwemet)
Our responsibility is prevention and protection. At andwemet, we:
Are cautious about who joins every before being welcomed into the community.
Build a culture of awareness through prompts, discussions, and safety reminders.
Encourage slow dating, so trust is built over time.
Follow a strict zero-tolerance policy — reports lead to immediate removal and blocked re-entry.
While no dating community can guarantee a scam-free environment, we are committed to minimizing risks and acting fast when red flags are reported.
3. The member’s responsibility
Members also play an important role in safe dating. That means:
Avoiding sharing personal or financial details too soon.
Moving at a healthy pace rather than rushing into intimacy or commitments.
Reporting any misbehavior or suspicion early so action can be taken quickly.
The truth about blame
Blame for the act rests only with the scammer.
But responsibility for prevention is shared by the community, the platform, and by each member practicing safe dating habits.
At andwemet, we believe in clarity, accountability, and empowerment. We don’t point fingers we build safeguards, encourage openness, and take action so scams become harder to pull off.
Dating with intent should feel safe, honest, and meaningful. That’s what we stand for.
