Safety Tips

Stay safe while using Opinna. Read these guidelines before messaging, applying, or hiring.

01 / For coaches and job seekers

For coaches and job seekers

  • Keep communication on Opinna until you're confident the employer is legitimate.
  • Never pay to apply. Legit employers do not ask for "processing fees", "training deposits", or upfront payments.
  • Be cautious with personal data. Share sensitive info (DOB, IDs, immigration docs, SSN) only after you've verified the employer and have a clear offer process.
  • Verify the organization. Check the club/academy website, social profiles, and public presence. If something feels off, trust that instinct.
  • If a club contacts you through Open To Work or a listing you posted, the same rules apply: confirm who they are before sharing personal details.
  • Watch for red flags: vague job details, unrealistic pay, pressure to move fast, requests to chat on random apps immediately, or "too good to be true" offers.
02 / For clubs and employers

For clubs and employers

  • Review profiles carefully. Look for consistency (experience, location, certifications) and request references when needed.
  • Do not request sensitive personal data in early messages. Keep initial screening professional and job-related.
  • Use a clear process: confirm role requirements, schedule a call, and document next steps.
03 / Messaging Guidelines

Messaging Guidelines

  • Keep conversations professional and on-topic.
  • Do not share payment links or request money through chat.
  • Report suspicious behavior immediately.
04 / Block & Report

Block & Report

If you see spam, harassment, scams, or inappropriate content:

  • Block the user to stop further messages.
  • Report the conversation so our team can review it.
05 / What to Watch For

What to Watch For

  • Upfront payments: requests to pay for "application", "training", or "background check" before a formal offer.
  • Off-platform pressure: urging you to move the conversation to WhatsApp/Telegram immediately or share sensitive documents right away.
  • Vague + urgent offers: unusually high pay with unclear duties, missing details, and "hire today" urgency.
06 / Disclaimer
