Security Considerations
While forms.gle is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
URL Shortener
forms.gle
converts URLs into short codes that hide the actual destination. Before clicking shortened links, use a URL expander tool or hover to preview where the link actually leads.
Form Builder
forms.gle
enables anyone to create forms that collect user data. Attackers use this to create fake login pages or payment forms. Never enter passwords or financial information on forms hosted here unless you initiated the process yourself.
User-Generated Content
forms.gle
hosts content created by its users, not the platform operator. Individual posts, profiles, or pages may contain scams, misinformation, or phishing attempts that the platform hasn't yet detected or removed.
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
