We take certain steps to prevent fake accounts, scammers, and bots:
- Blocking accounts from being created: using detection technology, we analysis each profile photo for human attributes and prevent nonfacial profiles, stopping them from getting onto Milyo in the first place.
- Email verification: Email authentication reduces the risk of fake profiles.
- Block high-risk countries: Countries known for having high risks of fraudulent activities are blocked from receiving SMS.
- Removing accounts when they sign-up: Our advanced detection systems also look for potential fake accounts as soon as they sign-up, by spotting signs of malicious behavior based on location and phone number.
- Removing accounts already on Milyo: Some accounts may get past the above defenses and still make it onto the platform. All profiles are manually reviewed by our moderation team and are removed if they fail against our Terms of Service before being banned for repeated offenses.
