How to Stay Safe
At FindNearme.pk, the safety of our users is our highest priority. While our platform helps buyers and sellers connect locally, it is important for users to take personal precautions during every interaction and transaction. By following the safety guidelines below, you can reduce risks and enjoy a secure buying and selling experience.
Meet in Safe & Public Places
Always arrange meetings in public, well-lit, and busy locations such as shopping malls, cafes, or public marketplaces. Avoid meeting in isolated areas or sharing your home address with strangers. If a home visit is unavoidable, make sure someone you trust knows where you are and who you are meeting.
For high-value items, consider bringing a friend or family member and meet during daytime hours.
Avoid Advance Payments
Never send advance payments, deposits, or booking fees to sellers you do not know personally. Scammers often request upfront payments and disappear afterward.
Buyers should inspect items carefully before making any payment. Sellers should also be cautious of buyers who use unusual payment methods or pressure for quick deals.
Verify Product & Seller Information
Always verify the details mentioned in the listing. Ask clear questions, request additional photos, and confirm specifications before finalizing any deal. If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Sellers should provide honest and accurate descriptions to avoid disputes and maintain trust.
Protect Your Personal & Financial Information
Never share sensitive information such as:
- Bank account or card details
- OTP codes or passwords
- CNIC or personal ID numbers
Keep all communication within the FindNearme.pk platform whenever possible.
Be Careful with Online Communication
Stay alert when chatting with buyers or sellers. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files. If someone makes you uncomfortable or pressures you into a decision, stop communication immediately.
Trust Your Instincts
If something feels wrong, do not proceed. Take your time to evaluate offers, compare listings, and make informed decisions. Never rush into a transaction due to pressure or urgency.
Report Suspicious Activity
If you notice fake ads, scams, abusive behavior, or suspicious users, report them immediately through the platform. Our moderation team reviews reports and takes appropriate action to protect the community.
