Tips for safe interactions, privacy protection, and avoiding scams

Safe participation on Adrenaline Realm requires proactive measures to protect personal information and avoid risks inherent in any online automotive community. Enable privacy settings early by navigating to Settings > Privacy: limit profile visibility, restrict who can message you or view your Garage details, and disable location sharing unless needed for local meetups. Use strong, unique passwords and activate two-factor authentication (2FA) in Settings > Security to secure your account. Avoid sharing sensitive data—such as home addresses, financial details, or full VINs—in public posts, comments, or unverified chats.

To avoid scams, be cautious of unsolicited offers for rare parts, suspiciously low prices, or requests to move conversations off-platform (e.g., to external payment apps). Verify seller legitimacy by checking for KYB badges, reviewing ratings, and confirming interactions remain within the app’s encrypted messaging. For in-person meetups or transactions, choose public locations, inform a trusted contact, and never send money before receiving goods. Report suspicious behavior immediately using the in-app reporting tool. By exercising discretion—verifying profiles, trusting community feedback, and prioritizing platform features—these practices minimize risks and allow secure enjoyment of discussions, event planning, vehicle showcases, and enthusiast connections.
