Safety Centre
Practical advice, community standards, and emergency helplines to keep you safe across Bhilai and Durg.
1. Always meet in bright, busy public spaces
Your first few dates should always happen in well-lit, high-traffic public locations. Great local meetup options include popular cafes in Nehru Nagar East, coffee shops near Surya Treasure Island Mall in Junwani, or open evening walkways at Civic Center. Never agree to meet in isolated lanes, private apartments, or remote spots on a first meetup. Always inform a trusted friend or roommate where you are going and share your live phone location.
2. Keep your personal phone number and address private
You do not need to hand out your WhatsApp number, Instagram profile, or hostel room address to someone you just started chatting with. Use Koimilo's built-in chat, audio calling, and voice notes to get to know someone first. Take your time, and only share personal contact details when you feel completely comfortable and confident.
3. Never send money or financial transfers
Never send money, UPI transfers, gift cards, or crypto to anyone you have only interacted with online. Scammers frequently invent urgent family emergencies, travel mishaps, or wallet issues to solicit cash. If any profile asks you for money or financial assistance, stop communicating immediately and submit an in-app report.
4. Instant 1-tap blocking and reporting
If anyone ever sends offensive remarks, makes uninvited advances, or makes you feel uneasy, you can block them straight from their profile or chat screen. One tap removes them permanently from your feed. Our moderation team reviews community reports quickly to enforce strict suspensions and device bans against violators.
5. Automated photo and profile screening
Every photo uploaded to Koimilo is automatically scanned before publication. We actively reject images featuring weapons, inappropriate content, or suspected underage users. This keeps our local student community clean, respectful, and trustworthy for genuine young adults.
