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!
