I received a threatening or disturbing message. What should I do

1 min read

Take the message seriously without responding publicly or trying to identify the sender yourself.

Act now

Do not reply, repost or challenge the sender

Take screenshots that show the full message, date and relevant link

Keep the original message in the app where possible

Report the message to Vibebo

Block the visitor and pause your link

Tell a trusted person what happened

Contact local emergency services when there is immediate danger

A credible threat may include a specific person, place, time, weapon or planned action. Share those details with the appropriate authority. Do not conduct a public investigation.

For blackmail, sexual exploitation, stalking or repeated harassment, preserve evidence and use the appropriate specialist or law enforcement route in your country.

Vibebo may review the message and available technical information, but it cannot guarantee that an anonymous sender can be named.
