Anti-Scam

Protect yourself against Internet fraud!

The vast majority of listings are posted by honest people and trust. So you can do excellent business. Despite this, it is important to follow a few common sense rules following to prevent any attempt to scam.

Our advice

• Doing business with people you can meet in person.
• Never send money using debit/credit/ATM cards, net banking, other UPI apps, or any other anonymous payment system.
• Never send money or products abroad.
• Do not accept checks.
• Ask about the person you're dealing with another confirming the source name, address, and telephone number.
• Keep copies of all correspondence (emails, listings, letters, etc.) and details of the person.
• If a deal seems too good to be true, there is every chance that this is the case. Refrain.
