🛡️ Safety Tips

Protect yourself while buying and selling on Tumiza Marketplace

Meet in Public Places

Always meet in well-lit, public spaces like malls or police stations. Avoid secluded areas or private homes.

Protect Personal Information

Never share your ID, bank details, passwords, or mobile money PINs. Tumiza will never ask for your credentials.

Inspect Before You Pay

Examine the product before payment. Test electronics and verify ownership, especially for vehicles or land.

Use Trusted Payments

Prefer cash on delivery or mobile money. Avoid sellers demanding prepayments without meeting.

Beware of Unrealistic Deals

If the price is too good to be true, it probably is. Cross-check pricing and product authenticity.

Verify Ownership

Ask for IDs or documentation for vehicles, land, or other high-value assets.

Report Suspicious Behavior

Use the report button if someone seems fraudulent or abusive. Help keep Tumiza safe for all users.

Use Tumiza Messaging

Keep early communication on Tumiza before switching to personal messaging apps.

Keep Your Account Secure

Use strong passwords. Don’t share your login details. Always log out on public devices.

Trust Your Gut

If something feels off, walk away. Your safety comes first.
