The safety of our members is very important to us.

There are steps that everyone can follow to ensure their safety while using Flyness. Please take a few minutes to read these tips.

Flyness Employees

Flyness employees will only contact you using an @flyness.io email address or from our social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, linkedin, or Twitter. Do not respond to people or emails claiming to be from Flyness that uses any other email address, for example, Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail, or any social media accounts that are not our verified, legitimate accounts.

Flyness email addresses include: info@flyness.io

We will never contact you to offer you a job and we will never request your Flyness password.

Check References

It’s your responsibility to do your own research and remain cautious. We strongly recommend that you also check references before working with someone, especially if they are new to Flyness or it’s the first time you’re working together.

We don’t conduct criminal background checks on our members. Please contact us immediately if you recognize or suspect a member has a criminal record.

Tell Someone of Your Shoot or Meeting Plans

Tell them who you are meeting or shooting with, where you are going, and when you will return. Include the shoot address, expected time of shoot completion, and the names of all parties on set to a third party not present. Always bring your phone with you.

Getting Help

Help is available to you via the Federal Government Toll Free Number for Violation of Girls and Women. Call 080072732255 to be connected with a trained staff member.

Reporting to law enforcement is a personal choice. Reporting “may have a positive impact on your recovery” and “can also have a positive impact on the lives of others.”

Keep Your Financial and Personal Information Private

Ignore any request to send money – even if the person claims it’s an emergency – and report it to us immediately. Never give your financial information to other members, such as your Bank verification number (BVN), social security number, credit card number, or bank information.

Note: Flyness will never email you asking for your username and password. Please contact us immediately if you receive any such communication.

Spam/Scammers

Beware of members that:

• Send you messages containing links to third-party websites
• Ask you for money
• Quickly ask to talk or chat outside of Flyness (especially via Skype)
• Ask for your Flyness password

Be cautious of new or incomplete profiles. Closely review their bio and portfolio. Check for external links (social media, personal website, etc) that can help identify them.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission published advice on how to avoid online scams.

Flagging Messages

Please report anyone who sends you a private message that violates Flyness site rules. Please report the user by flagging the offending message. Examples of violations may include:

• Adult industry networking (e.g. asking you to shoot adult content)
• Sending pornographic images or links to porn, webcam, or escort websites
• Sexual harassment, bullying, or personal attacks
• Spam or solicitation, such as attempts to sell products or services
• Anyone that looks like they could be under the age of 16
