At Dreams Sell, we are 100% committed to ensuring that your experience on our platform is as safe as possible. Here’s some advice on how to stay safe while trading on Dreams Sell:
General safety advice
Verify Items in Person
Always meet the seller and inspect the item thoroughly before proceeding with any payment.
While applying for a job
Research the job and the employer before you apply. Don’t give out personal information before meeting the employer in person. Avoid going to remote locations for an interview.
Exchange item and payment at the same time
Buyers: don’t make any payments before receiving an item. Sellers: don’t send an item before receiving payment.
Use common sense
Avoid anything that appears too good to be true, such as unrealistically low prices and promises of quick money.
Never give out financial information
This includes bank account details, eBay/PayPal info, and any other information that could be misused.
Scams and frauds to watch out for
Fake payment services
Fake information requests
Dreams Sell does not offer any form of payment scheme or protection. Please report any emails claiming to offer such services. Avoid using online payment services or escrow sites unless you are 100% sure that they are genuine.
Dreams Sell never sends emails requesting your personal details. If you receive an email asking you to provide your personal details to us, do not open any links. Please report the email and delete it.
Fake fee requests
Avoid anyone that asks for extra fees to buy or sell an item or service. Dreams Sell never requests payments for its basic services, and doesn’t allow items that are not located in Bangladesh, so import and brokerage fees should never be required.
Requests to use money transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram
Requests to use money transfer services like Western Union or MoneyGram should be avoided, especially in transactions with strangers. These services are not designed for transactions between unfamiliar parties and are frequently exploited in scams. It’s safer to use secure and traceable payment methods that offer buyer or seller protection, such as PayPal, credit cards, or reputable online payment platforms. Protect yourself by opting for payment methods that prioritize security and provide recourse in case of fraudulent activity.
Caution: No Delivery Options at Bkman
Caution: Bkman does not provide delivery services anymore. Please disregard any misleading claims and refrain from making payments for such services. If you encounter any false advertisements or requests for payment related to delivery from Bkman, please report them immediately.
Fake Offer
Receiving a fake job offer can be a disheartening experience, potentially causing confusion and concern. These offers often appear enticing, promising lucrative salaries or impressive benefits. However, they typically lack legitimacy upon closer examination. Signs of a fake offer include requests for upfront payments, vague job descriptions, or pressure to accept quickly without adequate information. It’s crucial to verify the authenticity of any offer by researching the company independently, checking their official website, and contacting them directly through trusted channels. Trusting your instincts and promptly reporting suspicious offers can safeguard against potential scams and protect both your personal information and professional aspirations.
