The vast majority of people at Tise behave well, but there may be a few who try to ruin for others π¨
β
We have systems and routines that work to find users who have bad intentions, and we work continuously to strengthen these tools in order to provide a good and safe service for our users. Although this is effective, it is never a 100% guarantee that you will never meet someone who is not completely honest. Therefore, we have put together some tips on what to be aware of when buying and selling online:
β
1οΈβ£ They do not want to use payment with Tise:
βIt does not necessarily mean that the user wants to commit fraud if they ask to make the payment through another channel. However, we always recommend using our integrated payment solution as much as possible. This is so that we can assist if something unforeseen were to happen.
β
β2οΈβ£ They want to move the conversation outside of Tise:
βIf someone early on asks to move the conversation to another channel outside of Tise (Messenger, WhatsApp or SMS, etc.), it is a red flag. There is no reason why the agreement can not be made through the Tise chat and is often a way to avoid our security checks.
β
β3οΈβ£ Sudden payments from foreign banks/PayPal:
βThe scammer says they have paid and is forcing you to ship the item as soon as possible. Sometimes they also send you a false receipt of the payment.
β
If you suddenly receive a message saying that they have sent you money for an item without that being confirmed by you or your bank, this is a red flag. We then recommend that you wait with sending the item until payment has been received.
β
β4οΈβ£ They ask you to click on a link:
βWe recommend never clicking on a link received from another user. This is often an attempt at "phishingβ, which is where the user finds various ways to retrieve sensitive information, such as credit card information.
β
βIf you think you have been the victim of fraud, or if you find something strange on Tise that you want us to investigate further, you can report the relevant user in the app.
