Golden Rules for Safe Online Classified Trading
At eClassify India, user security is our highest priority. Scammers often use manipulative psychological tactics to rush buyers and sellers into sending money. Remember these non-negotiable safety rules:
NEVER enter your UPI PIN to RECEIVE money. UPI PIN is strictly required only when DEDUCTING funds from your bank account!
- No Advance Tokens: Never pay advance booking tokens before inspecting the item physically.
- Public Meeting Locations: Meet in well-lit public places such as metro stations, coffee shops, or residential society gates.
- Verify Phone Verification Badges: Look for verified seller badges on eClassify profiles before concluding deals.
