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.
