Stay safe on Ahiuwa

For buyers

• Never pay in advance — not for the item, not for delivery, not for “reservation”.
• Meet in a busy public place during the day, and bring someone with you for expensive items.
• Inspect the item carefully and check that it works before you pay.
• For vehicles and property, check the documents and confirm the seller is entitled to sell.
• Be wary of prices that are far below the market — they are the most common bait.

For sellers

• Only hand over the item once you have received the full payment.
• Confirm transfers in your own banking app. Screenshots and “payment alerts” can be faked.
• Never share one-time codes, PINs or passwords with anyone, even if they claim to be from Ahiuwa.
