Search for Pilates Safety Tips
The purpose of Search for Pilates is to provide a safe environment for instructors and students alike. We have a number of procedures in place to maintain this integrity. It is of utmost importance that our instructors have a positive and safe experience when using our website to promote their services and whilst visiting students' homes.
We monitor the site very closely to ensure that all the profiles are legitimate and meet our guidelines. Similarly, we request information that enables us to ensure all enquires are legitimate and that we track all bookings in order to ensure we know where our instructors are expected to be teaching a lesson.
Here are a few online safety tips to keep in mind when making contact with a prospective student or instructor:
-
Be cautious when a member claims to be overseas or outside of your area/state.
-
It is recommended that both parties agree to be available on the phone or through Skype if necessary to arrange the details of the first class.
-
Avoid requests for electronic money transfers, such as untraceable Paypal or Western Union transfers.
-
Report any suspicious messages to us immediately.
-
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!
-
Receiving an unsolicited email from a member or instructor that refers to the contact details of a person who is not a Search for Pilates member could indicate possible fraud.
-
Always ensure you have the latest version of internet browser and antivirus software update on your home and office computers.
-
Keep your username and password details safe and treat them as you would your bank PIN.
