Behavior assessment and public-source research.
A short behavior-based checklist before you meet someone new. This is not a safe/unsafe verdict — it helps you notice red flags.
Before You Meet
Check any that apply.
Research, not verification. Matching info does not prove identity. Missing info does not indicate danger. A clean search does not establish safety.
Protect my account
Check whether your own email appears in known data breaches. Someone else's email showing up in a breach says nothing about whether they're safe.
