Scam Prevention
Safety Tips for Buyers & Sellers
Keep your local transactions smooth, secure, and scam-free across Hyderabad.
Tips for Buyers
- 1.Meet in public, well-lit places across Hyderabad (e.g. Metro Stations, Malls, Coffee Shops).
- 2.Thoroughly inspect the item (IMEI, physical condition, working state) before paying.
- 3.Never transfer advance token payments or scan suspicious QR codes claiming to send you money.
- 4.Be wary of prices that seem unrealistically cheap for flagship gadgets or cars.
Tips for Sellers
- 1.Verify the full payment in your bank account / UPI before handing over the item.
- 2.Do not accept partial cheques, post-dated promises, or screenshot payment proofs.
- 3.Never ship items outside Hyderabad based on unverified online wire receipts.
- 4.Meet the buyer face-to-face and keep a companion with you for high-value items.
QR Code Scams Warning
Remember: You NEVER need to scan a QR code or enter your UPI PIN to RECEIVE money. Entering your UPI PIN will ALWAYS deduct money from your account.
