A. To mitigate the risk of encountering false accounts, users can: 1. Look for verified profiles or those with a completed ID verification badge, if available. 2. Use the platform's reporting features to flag suspicious accounts for review. 3. Conduct video calls or chat sessions before meeting in person to verify the identity of the person you are communicating with. 4. Be cautious of profiles that have limited information or generic photos, as these may indicate a false account.
