Safety Tips

Effective Date: February 1, 2026

At Rytetivo, we are committed to providing a safe and trusted marketplace where buyers and sellers can connect with confidence. While we work to detect and prevent fraudulent activities, users are ultimately responsible for exercising caution and conducting their own due diligence before entering any transaction.

The following safety tips are intended to help you reduce risks and enjoy a safer marketplace experience.

1. Verify the Identity of the Other Party

Before buying, selling, renting, or hiring, take reasonable steps to verify the identity of the person you are dealing with.

Where appropriate:

• Ask questions about the item or service.
• Request additional photographs or information.
• Verify business details where applicable.
• Be cautious of users who refuse to provide basic information.

2. Inspect Items Before Payment

Whenever possible:

• Inspect the item in person.
• Confirm that it matches the description and photographs.
• Check its condition and functionality before making payment.

Do not rely solely on photos or descriptions.

3. Meet in Safe Public Locations

If meeting in person:

• Choose busy public places.
• Meet during daylight whenever possible.
• Inform a trusted friend or family member.
• Avoid isolated locations.
• If appropriate, bring another person with you.

4. Be Careful with Payments

Only make payments when you are satisfied that the transaction is genuine.

Before paying:

• Verify payment details.
• Confirm ownership of the item.
• Agree on all transaction terms.
• Keep proof of payment.

Never send money simply because someone pressures you.

5. Watch for Common Scam Warning Signs

Be cautious if someone:

• Refuses to meet in person without a reasonable explanation.
• Pressures you to act immediately.
• Requests payment before allowing inspection.
• Offers prices that appear unrealistically low.
• Requests payment through unusual or suspicious methods.
• Provides inconsistent or misleading information.
• Uses fake documents or stolen photographs..

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

6. Protect Your Personal Information

Never share sensitive personal information unnecessarily.

Protect information such as:

• Passwords
• Verification codes
• Bank account credentials
• Debit or credit card details
• Identification documents unless genuinely required

Rytetivo will never ask for your password.

7. Communicate Through the Platform

Whenever possible, use Rytetivo communication tools during the early stages of your transaction.

This helps:

• Maintain a record of conversations.
• Reduce misunderstandings.
• Improve our ability to investigate reported abuse where appropriate.

8. Verify High-Value Transactions Carefully

For expensive items such as:

• Vehicles
• Real Estate
• Business Equipment
• Electronics
• Agricultural Machinery

Take extra precautions.

Where appropriate:

• Verify ownership.
• Inspect supporting documents.
• Confirm registration details.
• Obtain independent professional advice if necessary.

9. Be Honest

Whether you are buying or selling:

• Provide accurate information.
• Honour agreements.
• Treat others respectfully.
• Communicate clearly.

A trustworthy marketplace depends on honest users.
