How Talkabout keeps scammers out
- Who can join Talkabout?
- Adults only. Anyone who gives a birthdate under 18 is turned away, and the account stays closed.
- Can a stranger send me photos or ask for my number straight away?
- No. Photos and contact details unlock only after you have both written to each other, and new accounts can only start a few conversations a day.
- What happens to someone who tries to scam people?
- Report them from the chat and a moderator reads the report. If a rule was broken they can be warned, suspended or banned, and a banned email address cannot sign up again.
- Whoever reported them hears that it was handled.
- Should I ever send money to someone I met here?
- Never. Nobody needs your money to practise a language with you. Requests for money, crypto or gift cards, sudden emergencies and pushes to another app are the signs to watch for.
