At Delhi AdsHub, your safety is our top priority. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply browsing, follow these essential tips to protect yourself and your information while using our platform.
- Be Cautious with Digital Payment Details
- Avoid Sharing Sensitive Information: Never share your UPI ID, bank account details, or QR codes with anyone unless you fully trust the other party.
- Beware of Scams: Be cautious if a buyer or seller insists on receiving money through a UPI link or QR code they send you. Only make payments to verified accounts and double-check the recipient’s name before completing any transactions.
- Meet in Public Places for Transactions
- For buying and selling items, always arrange to meet in a well-lit, busy public area, such as a café, shopping mall, or marketplace.
- Bringing a friend or family member along for extra security is a good idea, especially when meeting someone for the first time.
- Use Cash for Small Transactions
- For small amounts, consider using cash instead of digital payment methods. Cash transactions reduce the risk of sharing sensitive digital details and make it easier to verify the payment on the spot.
- Avoid Advance Payments
- No Upfront Payments: Avoid making upfront payments or paying deposits to sellers you haven’t met in person. A genuine seller will understand your caution and be open to secure, in-person transactions.
- Verify the Product First: Only transfer money once you have inspected and verified the item or service you are purchasing.
- Watch Out for Suspicious Behavior
- Be Wary of Unusual Requests: If someone requests personal information, payment details, or asks you to use unfamiliar apps for the transaction, proceed with caution.
- Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off, it’s better to walk away from the transaction. Scammers often use high-pressure tactics, such as insisting on quick decisions or urgent payments.
- Avoid Sharing Personal Information
- Limit Your Details: When communicating with buyers or sellers, share only necessary information. Avoid giving out your home address, detailed personal information, or sensitive account details.
- Use In-Platform Messaging: Whenever possible, keep communications within our website’s messaging system, as it offers an extra layer of protection.
- Inspect Products Before Payment
- Test Items When Possible: For electronic or mechanical items, inspect and test them in person before completing the purchase to ensure they work as advertised.
- Check Documentation: If you’re buying something with required paperwork (e.g., vehicles or electronics), make sure all necessary documents are provided and authentic.
- Be Aware of Common Scams
- Fake Payment Confirmations: Scammers may send fake screenshots of payment confirmations. Always check your own bank account or payment app to verify that you’ve received the money.
- Overpayment Scams: Be cautious if someone overpays “by mistake” and asks for a refund. This is a common trick used to deceive sellers. Verify all payments before making any refunds.
