Stay safe on Connections

LOCORA Connections is for meeting real people on Vancouver Island. Keep these tips in mind.

  • Meet in public first. Choose a busy café, market, or community space for initial meetups.
  • Tell someone your plans. Share where you're going, who you're meeting, and when you'll check in.
  • Trust your instincts. If something feels off, leave. You don't owe anyone your time.
  • Never send money. Romance scams and advance-fee fraud happen. LOCORA will never ask you to wire money to another member.
  • Keep personal info private. Don't share your home address, financial details, or passwords in early messages.
  • Report concerns. Use Report member on any profile, or contact us if you feel unsafe.
  • Block when needed. Block members from their profile or Settings so they can't contact you.

Connections is for adults 18+ only. By using Connections you agree to our community conduct guidelines and to follow Canadian law. LOCORA does not conduct background checks — verification confirms identity and mailing address review, not criminal history.
