Golden Rule: Never take conversations or payments outside the ByBata app. We cannot protect you if you transact on WhatsApp or bank transfer.
1. Meeting in Person
- Public Places Only: Meet at malls, eateries, or police stations. Avoid secluded areas or private homes.
- Bring a Friend: There is safety in numbers.
- Daylight Hours: Schedule exchanges during the day.
2. Digital Safety
- Check Verification: Look for the Blue Tick badge next to user names.
- Inspect Photos: Use our "Ask for Live Photo" feature in chat to ensure they currently possess the item.
- Protect Info: Never share your password, OTP, or BVN with anyone, even if they claim to be ByBata support.
