3rd Party Sites & Apps

This page is meant to be used as a reference for known platforms that are often related to violating activity on our websites. It might not be an immediate violation to mention some of these platforms, but Agents should still be alert and investigate thoroughly. Please note that commonly-used websites/apps will constantly evolve and change over time � therefore, it's impossible to keep a single list up-to-date with all trending platforms. We will do our best to adjust this reference tool as much as necessary. Contact Leadership if you think another platform should be added to the list (such as a new site you've noticed in multiple conversations).

Why is this a red flag?

Below examples are suggested. Appropriate next steps will depend on context.

This may also involve the exchange of a product or service (explicit photos, webcam sessions, etc.) in return for an online payment transfer.

Social Networking

�External Links �Commercial Activity

Promoting products/services in exchange for compensation is not allowed on our platforms.

Chat/Communication

�External Links

It's common for Violators (especially fraud, scamming or escorting) to move all contact offsite, using another means of communication. Many of these apps generate a fake phone number, as well.

"Camming"

�Commercial Activity
