There are many untrustworthy and unprincipled people roaming on the internet everyday. At Kichizi.com we treat every instance of fraud, abuse or spam extremely seriously and do our very best to protect our members and visitors and make your visit to Kichizi.com safe and enjoyable. But we encourage you to be on your guard and to trust your instincts. So, to help you stay safe, we have gathered some key information on things to watch out for but most of all, just trust your instincts.

1. When buying or selling, you should meet in-person to see the item and exchange money. The purpose of the Kichizi Classifieds' “For Sale” category is to encourage face-to-face trading by facilitating the buyer and seller to meet. For your own safety, always ensure you take someone with you and you meet in a PUBLIC place.
2. Never send your item before receiving the money
3. Kichizi.com doesn’t offer any sort of buyer protection/payment programs. Any emails you receive that talk about such systems are scams, even if they may have the Kichizi.com or Kichizi Media logo. If you receive any emails claiming that we offer such services, please report it to us.
4. Take care when buying expensive items like mobile phones, laptops and plasma TVs. Always ensure that you have seen the item and are sure about what you are buying.
5. Never provide your personal or banking information (e.g. credit card number) to others over the Internet.
6. Never send money... Meet in person and exchange the goods for money.
7. Use common sense. If the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
