Safety Tips

Stay safe while buying and selling online. Follow these important guidelines to protect yourself from fraud.

Meet in Public Places

  • Always meet the buyer/seller in a safe, public location
  • Avoid meeting at your home or isolated areas
  • Consider meeting at a police station or bank for high-value items
  • Bring a friend or family member with you

Payment Safety

  • Prefer cash transactions when meeting in person
  • Never send advance payments without verification
  • Be cautious of unusually low prices - if it's too good to be true, it probably is
  • Verify the item before making any payment
  • Avoid wire transfers or money orders to unknown sellers

Verify Before You Buy

  • Inspect the item thoroughly before purchasing
  • For vehicles, check registration documents and get a mechanic inspection
  • For electronics, test all features before payment
  • Ask for original receipts or warranty cards when available

Protect Your Privacy

  • Don't share personal information like CNIC, bank details, or passwords
  • Use our messaging system instead of sharing personal phone numbers initially
  • Be wary of buyers who ask too many personal questions
  • Never click on suspicious links sent by unknown users

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Seller refuses to meet in person or show the item
  • Requests for advance payment before seeing the item
  • Pressure to complete the transaction quickly
  • Prices significantly below market value
  • Requests for personal financial information
  • Poor grammar or suspicious communication patterns
