Safety Tips
How to stay safe while buying and selling on MakeDeal
Verify Before You Deal
Always check the Aadhaar verification badge on seller profiles. Only transact with verified users to avoid fraud.
Inspect in Person
Meet the seller in a public place and inspect the item thoroughly before making any payment. Never pay in advance for an item you haven't seen.
Keep Conversations on MakeDeal
Use our in-app chat for all communication. Your phone number stays private until you choose to share it, and we monitor chats for suspicious activity.
Beware of Phishing Links
Never click on external links shared in chat messages. Scammers often send fake payment links that look like the real thing.
Report Suspicious Activity
If something feels off, report the user immediately. Our team reviews every report within 24 hours and takes swift action.
Meet Safely
Choose a busy public location like a cafe or shopping centre. Bring a friend if possible, and let someone know where you're going.
