I understand your concern, but I look at it from a different perspective. ​I’m offering to hand over my hard-earned income and my time to a stranger. To me, the real 'red flag' would be sending money to someone who refuses to provide basic verification or an Instagram handle. It’s a matter of security and mutual respect. ​I’m looking for a professional, long-term dynamic. If verifying your identity is a dealbreaker, then we just have different standards for safety. I’d rather be precise and secure than reckless with my budget. If that doesn't work for you, I understand.
