How to Avoid Scams

Last updated 1 May 2026·5 min read

Red flags to watch for and how to protect yourself.

1

Be cautious of: listings with prices far below market rate, owners who refuse to let you see the property, requests for payment before signing an agreement, and pressure to act quickly.

2

Never send money via wire transfer, Western Union, or personal mobile money accounts. Always use the platform's official payment system.

3

Verify the owner: check for the Verified badge, look at their profile and reviews, and confirm that the property details match the listing.

4

If something feels wrong, trust your instincts. Report suspicious listings using the 'Report' button on any listing page, or contact our support team.
