Keeping Our Community Safe
Hello Mighties!
As we head into the weekend, I want to share a quick reminder about staying safe, not just on The Mighty, but across all social media. Often scammers ramp up their efforts on weekends, hoping to slip under the radar.
First and most importantly:
If you have ever been scammed, please know it is not your fault. Manipulation is their skill set, and they are very good at it. Most people are never taught how to spot these tactics, which is exactly why I’m posting this today. We work diligently to keep scammers out, but sometimes they reach out to people before we catch them.
Here are a few signs to watch for:
Any message asking you to leave the platform is a huge red flag. Isolation is their goal, and WhatsApp is one of their most common suggestions.
They may also ask for your email address or phone number. Scammers prefer to operate in the shadows, where you lose the built-in protection of the moderation team.
If you receive a message on The Mighty that feels suspicious in any way, please report it, even if you’re not sure. To report a direct message, tap the shield icon in the top right corner and select “Alert Staff.”
We appreciate this community so much and want to keep it as safe, supportive, and scam-free as possible. Thank you for helping us do that.
Stay Mighty!
