How to Spot Red Flags in Your DMs
6th August 2025
Juu mtu ako on your FYP ama in your DMs haimaanishi mean they belong in your online circle. Online circle pia iko na standards sis!
Tumia hii guide ya ku-protect digital space yako.
“Tuma Selfie” Day One? Zii!
- Ati umenifollow tu jana, and you already want my photo? Aiii, zii.
- SKY girls know: pressure = red flag. You don’t owe anyone a selfie, definitely not strangers.
Too Many Personal Qs, Too Fast
- “Unaishi wapi?” “Uko shule gani?” Ummm, excuse me?
- SKY Rule: Your personal info is private. If a stranger pushes for private details, that’s a red flag.
No Mutuals? No Entry
- Hamna mutuals, hana pics kwa profile na ako in your DMs? Trust us - Delete, block, move on.
- Kama hamjuiani in real life, na hata hamna any mutual followers - juilize walikupata aje. If they can’t be verified through your real life circle, they don’t belong in your online circle.
“I Love You” on day one?!
- Mmesalimiana leo, kesho anasema anakupenda? That’s not cute, it’s love bombing.
- Over-the-top attention kwa haraka ni one of the oldest manipulation tricks. Don’t fall for it sis.
Too Perfect? That's Sus!
- Kama profile pic yao iko model-level fine but feed iko empty - no posts, no tags, no story action
- It’s giving fake profile. Trust your gut; not every cute face is real.
“Don’t Tell Anyone…”
- If anyone wants you to hide things from your friends or family, jitoe hapo. Ati “keep this just between us?!” Zii, that's a massive red flag.
- Safe people hawana kitu ya kuficha .
Crypto Bros in the DMs
- Ati “tume pesa hapa, utapata double kesho”? Girl, fast money = scam.
- Don’t fall for the fishy deals - if it sounds too good to be true, it’s a lie!
The 10-Minute Trick: “Limited offer – only 10 minutes left!”
- Yeah right! Scammers wanapenda kupeana pressure na ma time limit.
- Always remember - Pressure to act fast = a scam.
“Nitakurudishia Kesho!”
- Ati “nitumie mpesa niko na emergency, nitakurudishia kesho.” Never ever fall for this sis.
- Wanaomba pesa and you’ve never even met IRL, that’s a no. Don’t get played.
The same way tunacheck energy ya friends kwa ground, do it online pia. Protect your online space.
Say no bila apology. Block bila guilt.
