Safety Tips

Last updated: April 2026

Meeting in person

  • Meet in a well-lit, public place on campus during daytime.
  • Bring a friend with you when possible.
  • Inspect the item thoroughly before paying.
  • Never let someone pressure you into completing a transaction you're unsure about.

Payments

  • Prefer cash or instant university-approved transfers. Avoid personal wire transfers to strangers.
  • Never send money upfront before seeing the item — that's the #1 sign of a scam.
  • Yallasafqa will never ask for your password or payment details outside the app.

Account & privacy

  • Keep personal contact info out of listings until needed.
  • Use a strong, unique password and don't share it.
  • Report suspicious messages or listings — we investigate every report.
