1. Keep discussions on Skippis

Do not give your personal phone number or email address to strangers. Use our secure messaging.

2. Beware of unrealistic offers

If someone offers you a high-value item (like the latest iPhone) in exchange for a low-value item, be extremely careful.

3. Never send money in advance

Skippis is a local hand-delivery platform. Never send money, transfers, or top-up coupons before seeing the item.

4. Report suspicious profiles

If a user seems dishonest to you, use the "Report" button on their profile or in the conversation.
