  3. When a user disappears suddenly from the site then reappears and tries to reconnect under a different name.
  4. When a user wants the relationship to progress faster than you are comfortable going.
  5. When the messages are poorly written and escalate quickly from introduction to a deeper connection.

Trust & Safety

Always trust your instincts when communicating or meeting a match, your judgment and intuition are necessary to protect yourself. We routinely review accounts for inconsistent or suspicious behavior.

We provide secure messaging, please use it!

As much as you can, try to ensure you use our secure messsaging feature for as long as you can while youre getting to know your match. Often users who don’t have the best intentions, try to take the interaction off the vinemingle site, as soon as possible. Be wary when the move is too fast.

Never share financial or private information

Never give out your credit card number or bank account information, your Personal Identification Number, National Identification Number or Social Security Number, mother’s maiden name or other private information like your address that can be used to access your financial information. Never send money or goods to a person.

Fraudulent calls

Vinemingle will not call you about your account details unless you have already discussed/requested a call back with us. Vinemingle will never charge you for performing customer care operations. You must immediately stop communicating with anyone that pressures you for this information and report the user to Vinemingle.

Protect your account in public

When accessing your account from a public or shared computer, always make sure you protect your login credentials and sign out of your account. Be aware of your surroundings so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information.

Suspicious links and apps

We will never ask you to download additional apps or to click on phishing links that can corrupt your device and/or steal your information.

Do your research

We encourage you to do your own research before meeting a anyone in person. You can try some of these suggestions: Type your match’s name into a search engine, search social media profiles, etc. Pay attention to the details your match shares with you. If something doesn’t feel right, trust your judgement and stop communicating with them.

Be careful of URL links in emails

If you receive a message with a link (most commonly directing to view photos), please know that vinemingle does not have a place outside of the profile, to view photos.

Use good judgment and be cautious when deciding to click on any URL links. In particular, be aware of links that lead to web pages which look similar or identical to the vinemingle homepage, including its log-in fields. These links are typically sent as attempts to “phish” for log-in information from users in order to compromise user accounts. – Not familiar with “Phishing”? Please report any such events to us.
