Safety Tips

Only Use First Names

To maintain safety and some anonymity, only use first names when speaking with your pen pal.

Friends Don't Ask for Money

Never send money to your pen pal. A friend would not ask you to give them money.

Keep Conversations Appropriate


Certainty is Key

If at any point you feel unsafe or uncertain when speaking with your pen pal, stop communication and let us know.
