GOOD TO KNOW
KnotCam publishes safety guidance, but no platform can prevent every harmful act. Your fastest protective action is often to end the interaction.
Urgency is a reason to slow down
Scammers and coercive users often create urgency, secrecy, romance, fear, or obligation. Never move money or credentials because a new online contact says a crisis cannot wait.
Leave first; document and report when appropriate
End the session before debating a threat or boundary. Use report and block controls, preserve only the evidence you can keep safely, and contact local emergency services for immediate danger.
QUICK ANSWERS
What people usually ask.
What if someone asks to continue on another app?
Moving away can remove current controls and expose your personal account. Decline until you have a strong reason to trust the person and understand the new service.
What if someone threatens me?
Leave, do not pay or comply, preserve relevant evidence safely, report the account, and seek local law-enforcement or emergency help when the threat is credible or immediate.
