Safety Tips for Meeting Strangers from IzanDeals
Meeting someone you connected with online requires sensible precautions. These tips will keep you safe every time.
The vast majority of IzanDeals transactions go smoothly. But taking sensible precautions every time you meet a stranger protects you in the rare case something goes wrong.
Always Meet in Public
Choose busy, well-lit locations with other people around. Shopping malls, bank forecourts, police stations and busy market areas are all good choices. Never meet at someone's home or yours for a first transaction.
Tell Someone Where You Are Going
Let a friend or family member know who you are meeting, where and when. Share the seller or buyer WhatsApp number with them.
Meet During Daytime
Arrange meetings during daylight hours wherever possible, especially for high-value transactions. Evening meetings carry higher risk.
Do Not Bring More Cash Than Necessary
Carry only the exact amount you plan to spend. Do not flash large amounts of cash in public.
Trust Your Instincts
If something feels off when you arrive, leave. Your safety is more important than any purchase or sale.
Consider Using the IzanDeals Payment System
Using wallet or card payment through IzanDeals reduces the amount of cash you need to carry and creates a record of the transaction.
