Reports should be made in writing to meetmutuals.info@gmail.com as soon as possible. Please write “REPORT” in the subject line and include your full name, a detailed account of the incident, any witnesses, and a description of the perpetrator(s), including their name(s) if known.

4. Consent to Online Information Verification
In order to ensure the safety and integrity of our community, we take steps to verify that all members are accurately represented and trustworthy. This may involve reviewing the social media accounts you provide, as well as other publicly available information, to confirm the accuracy of the details submitted in your application. This process may include, but is not limited to, a review of public police records and social media profiles.
