Your Safety First
Safety Tips
Stay protected on every transaction. Follow these guidelines to buy and sell safely on ASIDZI. Your security is our priority.
Important Warning
ASIDZI never asks for payment details or passwords. If anyone claims to be from ASIDZI and asks for money — it is a scam. Report it immediately.
Meeting & In-Person Safety
Meet in a busy public place
Markets, malls, petrol stations
Always meet at a busy, well-lit location during peak hours. Choose places where many people are around — a market, shopping centre, or bank entrance are ideal spots.
Bring a friend or family member
Never go alone to meet a stranger
Always bring someone you trust, especially for high-value transactions like electronics, vehicles, or real estate. Two people are always safer than one.
Avoid nighttime or remote meetings
Daylight hours only
Schedule meetings during daylight. Refuse any request to meet at night, in deserted areas, private homes you don't know, or any place that makes you feel uneasy.
Payment Safety
Inspect the item before paying
Test, verify, then pay
Physically examine the item before handing over any money. Test electronics, check for damage, and confirm the item matches the listing. Never pay for something you haven't seen.
Never send money in advance
No wire transfers · No Mobile Money · No Western Union
Never send payment via bank transfer, Mobile Money (Flooz, T-Money), Western Union, or any remote method to someone you haven't verified in person. If they insist, walk away — it's a scam.
Beware of prices that seem too good to be true
Classic fraud tactic
Extremely low prices are a common lure. Scammers attract buyers with unrealistically cheap listings, collect a deposit or full payment, then vanish. Always compare prices with similar listings before buying.
Ask for a receipt for every transaction
Protect yourself legally
Always request a written receipt or proof of payment. This is important for resolving any future disputes about the item or the sale agreement.
Account & Online Security
Protect your login credentials
Use a strong, unique password
Never share your password or account details — not even with someone claiming to be ASIDZI support. Use a strong password with letters, numbers and symbols, and never reuse passwords from other sites.
Keep conversations on the platform
Preserve a record of all exchanges
Use ASIDZI's built-in messaging whenever possible. This keeps a full record of all communications and makes it easier to resolve disputes. Be wary if someone urgently wants to move the conversation to WhatsApp or another app.
Watch out for fake links & phishing
Verify every URL before clicking
Do not click on suspicious links sent by buyers or sellers. Always verify you are on www.asidzi.com before entering any personal information or payment details. Fake sites are designed to look identical.
Reporting & Red Flags
Recognise common red flags
Trust your instincts
Be alert to: pressure to decide quickly, requests for unusual payment methods, sellers abroad who can't meet in person, vague or inconsistent answers, photos that look copied from other websites.
Report suspicious ads & users immediately
Help protect the whole community
If a listing seems fraudulent or a user is pressuring you, use the report flag on the ad page or contact us directly. Your report protects you and every other buyer and seller on ASIDZI.
Document everything — screenshots & receipts
Evidence matters in disputes
Screenshot conversations, save listing details, and keep all receipts. If something goes wrong, having clear evidence will help you resolve the issue — whether with ASIDZI, local authorities, or a consumer protection service.
