1. Safe Buying Tips

Buying online can be convenient, but it is crucial to ensure secure transactions and avoid fraudulent sellers. Here are some tips to help you shop safely on Malikki.com:

Verify the Seller’s Identity

• Always check the seller’s profile, reviews, and activity before making a purchase.

• If a seller refuses to provide basic information about the product or avoids answering questions, proceed with caution.

   

Inspect the Product Before Payment

• Never make a payment before physically inspecting the product.
• If purchasing a vehicle or electronic item, test it thoroughly to ensure it is in working condition.

• For expensive items, consider bringing a trusted expert to verify authenticity.

   

Avoid Making Advance Payments

• Do not send money in advance, especially via bank transfers, mobile wallets, or gift cards.

• Use cash on delivery (COD) or meet the seller in person before making a payment.

   

Meet in a Safe Location

• Always meet the seller in a public place such as a shopping mall, café, or a busy market.

• Avoid meeting at isolated locations or at night.

   

Be Cautious of Deals That Seem Too Good to Be True

• If a product is being offered at a price significantly lower than market value, it may be a scam.

• Fraudsters often lure buyers with unrealistic discounts or fake urgent sales.

   

2. Safe Selling Tips

If you are selling on Malikki.com, follow these steps to avoid fraud and ensure a smooth selling experience:

Verify the Buyer’s Identity

• Confirm that the buyer is genuinely interested and is not asking unusual questions.

• Avoid buyers who insist on making a quick payment without seeing the product.

   

Do Not Share Personal or Banking Information

• Never share your bank account details, CNIC number, or OTP codes with anyone.

• Avoid accepting payments through unverified online transfer links or suspicious payment requests.

   

Accept Payments in a Secure Manner

• The safest payment method is cash on delivery (COD).

• If accepting an online transfer, ensure that the amount is fully credited to your bank account before handing over the product.

   

Be Aware of Fake Payment Confirmations

• Scammers may send fake bank messages or altered screenshots of payments to trick sellers.

• Always log into your banking app or verify with your bank before completing the transaction.

   

Meet Buyers in Public Locations

• Arrange a meeting in a safe and public place, preferably with security cameras or people around.

• Avoid inviting strangers to your home or private location.

Your account security is crucial to ensuring a safe e-commerce experience. Follow these tips to keep your Malikki.com account secure:

Use a Strong & Unique Password

• Avoid using easy-to-guess passwords like "123456" or "password."

   

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

• Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) if possible to make your account more secure.
