# twilio-safe-reject

SafeReject lets registered users exchange fake contact information with persistent would-be suiters, aka Harassers.

The user sends an SMS to the Twilio number with their credentials, the

harasser's phone number (and name, if available), and the short place name

where the exchange took place (eg: 'the bar' or 'BART'). SafeReject updates

its database with the information and then texts the harasser from a 'fake

phone number' while impersonating the user. This allows the user time to

safely get away from the harasser before the genius act of treachery is

discovered.

NEW USERS can sign up online ONLY at this time. We need to be able to

verify real users, and also to have a list of people who can't use the

service because they have been flagged as a harasser. Online signup

uses two-step authentication to verify the device.

REGISTERED USERS can get a new fake phone number or initiate a number

exchange between a fake phone number and a harasser. We verify users

by the 'From' and their PIN.

HARASSERS have been previously texted by a fake phone number via a

registered user -- eg the user has tried to avoid exchanging contact

info, but the harasser just doesn't get it and was then passed into the

system by the registered user. The harasser is now trying to converse

with the registered user.

UNKNOWNS are probably would be harassers trying to get the numbers so

they can "catch" registered users. And also spambots. Jerks.
