How to stay safe while using the Jekoba Ads Portal?
When using online networks that provide users with the same database for jekoba ads consider these safety precautions:
* Contact the seller or the buyer directly, to see the item and pay for it or collect money.
Going by the example above follow the following rules:
Buy with confidence by reviewing a seller’s feedback.
Buy with confidence by reading the item description before placing a bid.
Buy with confidence by asking the seller a question and waiting for an answer before you hit the buy button.
Also be careful when buying expensive items such as cell phones, laptops, TVs, airline or event tickets. Never share your personal or bank details (such as your credit card number) with other people online.
Don’t trust the unique, amazing deals and the large sums of money offered for helping with any task. Be careful when paying online – do it safely – do not use the instant cash transfer services to pay for your purchase.
Pay attention to:
Incomplete scans – can include corrected the script, or pencil was filling for example.
Offers with photos from the internet – images can mislead you because they often fail to reflect the actual state of the item.
Stay alerted if someone sells a high-value item at an incredibly low price – that does not happen too often.

Safety tips
- Use the same precautions online as you would offline. When meeting someone for the first time.
- Insist on a high traffic, well-lit, public meeting place like a cafe. Never meet in a secluded area.
- Never agree to move to a secondary location. This is a red flag.
- Never invite a stranger into your home or go to a stranger’s home at any time during the transaction.
- Use extra precautions, especially when buying/selling high value items.
- Always tell a friend or family member where you’re going and when you should be back.
- Check-in when you get there and check-in when you are finished and leaving.
- Always have a friend go with you. There is safety in numbers.
- Arrive early at the predetermined location and observe what is happening around you. Trust your instincts. If something does not feel right, STOP, do not proceed. Abandon the deal.
Posting tips
- Protect personal and financial information from disclosure.
- Post correct images of items Ads you are listing.
- Don’t be so desperate to sell something that you are willing to sell away your safety.
Avoiding scams
- Deal locally, face-to-face and better in public places.
- Only extent payment after you have safely met in person using the above mentioned precautions.
- There is a higher risk for fraud with deals that involve shipping. The best deals are with those you can meet safely in person.
- Never Transfer money. A request for you to transfer money should be a warning sign that the transaction is probably a scam.
- Even cashier/certified checks or money orders can be fake. If you deposit or cash a fake check, the bank will hold you responsible.
- Only get involved in transactions with the seller, no third parties.
- Protect your financial information (bank account, social security, PayPal account, etc.).
- Do not rent or purchase sight-unseen.
