Stay safe on MyAdz.lk
At MyAdz.lk, your safety is our top priority. We’re committed to ensuring a secure and reliable platform for all users. To help you stay safe while trading, please follow these important guidelines.
General Safety Guidelines
Verify Before Payment
Always meet the seller in person to thoroughly inspect the item before you exchange any money. This is the most crucial step to ensure the item matches the description and is in the condition you expect.
When Applying for a Job
Conduct thorough research on the job and the company before you apply. Never share personal or financial information until you have met the employer in person. For your safety, always choose a public, well-lit place for interviews and avoid remote or unfamiliar locations.
Secure Your Transaction
For buyers, never make a payment before you have received and verified the item. For sellers, do not hand over the item until you have received the full payment. It is essential that the exchange of the item and payment happens at the same time to protect both parties.
Trust Your Instincts
Be cautious of anything that seems too good to be true. This includes items with unrealistically low prices or promises of quick, effortless money. Scams often rely on a sense of urgency and offers that are hard to resist. If something feels off, trust your judgment and walk away from the deal.
Protect Your Financial Information
Never, under any circumstances, provide sensitive financial details to another user. This includes your bank account number, credit card information, or online payment service credentials. Giving out this information could lead to misuse and financial loss.
Use a Secure Payment Method
For high-value transactions, consider using a secure payment method that offers buyer protection. These services hold your money securely until you confirm that you have received your item.
Common Scams to Avoid
Phishing and Fake Information Requests
Be cautious of any email requesting your personal or financial details. MyAdz.lk will never send emails asking for this information. If you receive such an email, do not open any links. Instead, report the email and delete it immediately to protect yourself from phishing scams.
Money Transfer Services
Avoid using services like Western Union or MoneyGram for transactions with strangers. These services are designed for transfers between people who know and trust each other, and they are frequently used by scammers. Never agree to use these services as a payment method.
Unapproved Delivery Services
MyAdz.lk does not offer delivery services. Be vigilant and report any fraudulent claims from sellers who promise delivery options. To avoid scams, never make a payment for a delivery service that is not officially sanctioned by MyAdz.lk.
Our Commitment to Your Safety
Privacy of Your Contact Information
Your email address is never displayed publicly on your ad, protecting you from spam and unwanted contact. You also have the option to hide your phone number and communicate with interested buyers directly through our secure chat system.

We are continuously improving our platform’s technology to automatically detect and prevent suspicious or fraudulent activity. Our systems work around the clock to ensure a safe environment for all users.

Reporting a Safety Concern
If You Have Been Scammed
