A request is not automatically unsafe, but order matters
Some legitimate workflows eventually require verification or account context. The red flag is pressure, vagueness, or sensitive requests before the creator understands scope and control.
- Ask why each detail is needed.
- Separate public account review from private access.
- Keep approvals and boundaries in writing.
Common questions
Is an agency asking for ID always a scam?
No. Context matters. The safer standard is clear scope, written reason, privacy handling, and no pressure before the creator understands the process.
What should I ask before giving chat access?
Ask who logs in, what they can see, what requires approval, how chat is reviewed, and how sensitive requests are escalated.
