SAFETY TIPS

 

The overwhelming majority of Wikree users are trustworthy and well-intentioned people. Considering the large number of human interactions facilitated through Wikree, the incidence of violent crime has been extremely low.Nevertheless, it is very important to take the same common sense precautions online as you would do in your offline interactions.

It is important we help keep our community members safe from people attempting to scam or defraud them. We have found that one of the best ways to address this problem is to ensure that all transactions take place locally, in-person and in public places.

Here are some safety guidelines to help make sure that your usage of Wikree is safe.

We recommend you take the following precautions:

• When buying or selling, it is best that you meet in-person to see the product. It is advisable to meet in a public place. Learn as much as you can about who you are meeting or trading with before you complete the transaction. Wikree is all about local transactions.

• Never send or wire transfer money to sellers or buyers merely based on the classified seen on the Site. Payment matters should be handled carefully and payment should be made only after you are satisfied with the product or service and its delivery.

• Be cautious of users with no reliable contact information, who respond slowly or not at all.

• Wikree does not offer any sort of buyer protection. Any emails or web sites that talk about such systems are scams, even if they have the Wikree logo. If you receive any emails promoting these services, please forward the message to us.

• Never provide your personal or banking information (e.g. credit card number) to others over the Internet. Never give out your Wikree password, even if asked to do so in an email supposedly sent by Wikree employees.

• Protect your personal data, e.g. do not share your home address.

• Know the site Terms of Use (TOU) and Privacy Policy.

• Make yourself aware of common scams and fraud. Do not believe the promise of large sums of money for your help in any task.

• Inform Wikree of any attempted fraud or suspicious emails, Ads, or other activity by community members. In case of fraud, report it to the local authorities and inform us.

• Use common sense.
