How to Stay Safe on Tellwing
At Tellwing, we’re committed to providing a safe and trusted platform for buying, selling, and connecting. To help ensure a secure experience, follow these simple safety tips:
1. Meet in a Safe, Public Place
- Always meet buyers or sellers in well-lit, public locations.
- Avoid meeting at secluded places or private residences unless absolutely necessary.
- If possible, bring a friend or let someone know where you’ll be meeting.
2. Verify Before You Buy
- Take time to thoroughly check the item before making a payment.
- Ask for photos or videos if the seller cannot meet in person immediately.
- Be wary of deals that seem “too good to be true”—they often are.
3. Avoid Sharing Personal Information
- Keep your private details (such as your home address, bank information, or social security number) private.
- Communicate only through Tellwing’s messaging system until you feel comfortable enough to proceed.
4. Use Secure Payment Methods
- Whenever possible, choose secure payment methods that offer buyer protection.
- Avoid paying upfront or via wire transfer; cash payments are typically safer in person.
5. Stay Alert for Scams
- Be cautious with users who push for quick sales, offer high prices without negotiation, or request extra shipping fees.
- Do not click on suspicious links or provide any OTP (one-time password) if requested.
6. Trust Your Instincts
- If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Don’t hesitate to walk away if you feel uncomfortable.
- Report any suspicious behavior or listings to Tellwing’s support team.
7. Protect Your Account
- Use a strong, unique password for your Tellwing account and avoid sharing it with others.
- Enable two-factor authentication if available.
By following these steps, you’ll help protect yourself and others, making Tellwing a safer place for everyone. Happy buying and selling!
