Never send money
- Never send money, gift cards, or crypto to anyone you meet here — no matter the story.
- Scammers invent emergencies, travel costs, or investment "opportunities." A real connection will never pressure you to pay.
- Never share bank details, card numbers, or one-time passcodes.
Protect your personal information
- Keep conversations on Alien Tavern until you trust someone — be cautious if they rush to move to another app.
- Don't share your home address, workplace, financial details, or daily routine early on.
- Be wary of anyone who refuses to video chat or always has an excuse.
Meeting in person
- Meet in a busy public place the first few times.
- Tell a friend or family member where you're going and when you expect to be back.
- Arrange your own transportation, and stay sober enough to look out for yourself.
- Trust your instincts — if something feels off, leave.
Report and block
If anyone makes you uncomfortable, you can act immediately:
- Block someone to stop seeing their profile and messages. Use the “⋯” menu on a post, a comment, a global-chat or direct message, or a profile in the app. In the Beach Party, tap the player and use Block on their card.
- Report posts, comments, videos, chat messages (global chat and direct messages) or profiles that break our rules, from the same “⋯” menu or a Beach Party player card. Reports go straight to our moderation team. Beach Party speech bubbles and poker-table chat are not stored, so report the player from their card instead.
- If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services first.
