Safety centre

Connect with confidence.

Simple precautions make local buying, selling and advertising safer for everyone.

Keep an early record

Use Ceylon First messaging for initial conversations and avoid sharing unnecessary personal or financial information.

Inspect before paying

For physical goods, inspect the item and supporting documents before transferring money. Treat unusual urgency or complicated payment requests cautiously.

Meet thoughtfully

Choose a public place during daylight for local exchanges, bring someone when appropriate, and tell a trusted person where you are going.

Report concerns

Use the report button on any advertisement or profile that appears misleading, unsafe or prohibited so moderators can review it promptly.
