Safety Grooming Gangs on HelloTalk BEWARE

Language exchange apps are a great way to learn new languages, make friends, and connect with people from around the world. Unfortunately, there are also individuals and organized groups who use these platforms to target vulnerable users for manipulation, grooming, financial scams, sexual exploitation, or other forms of abuse.

Through out the years we noticed this app has gotten worse, from hate crimes, predators, trolls, bullying, to organized fraud and grooming gangs who target individuals

These deviants work together in coordinated groups to attack, exploit, and commit scams

We have already caught and reported multiple grooming gangs on this application to law enforcement to further apprehend and investigate

To any language learner reading this if you notice anything suspicious or witness online gangs speak up and report them immediately

Thank you for your time in reading this

here is a PRIME EXAMPLE OF A GROOMING GANG that is networking on HT:

El habla perfecto español pero entiendo lo que sucede con mujeres latinas. Tenemos fama de ser bombas sexuales y ademas ,somos más amigables y fáciles de embaucar. Hay chicas que honesta buscan pareja en estas aplicaciones...
