Acting Quickly Is Essential
If you receive a threat, a suspicious request for money, or an intimidating message, the most important thing is to stay calm. Many scammers take advantage of fear, anxiety, and a sense of urgency to pressure people into making impulsive decisions.
In the online world, these situations are becoming increasingly common. Fake listings, unexpected requests for money, extortion attempts, and fraudulent contacts can occur on any digital platform.
If, after communicating with an advertiser on Etaira, someone tries to intimidate you, asks you for money, or attempts to obtain your personal information, stop all communication immediately and do not send any payment.
Do Not Share Personal Information
If you encounter suspicious behavior, it is essential to protect your privacy immediately.
Avoid sharing:
- Bank account details.
- Copies of identity documents.
- Home addresses.
- Passwords or access codes.
- Private photos or images.
Even information that may seem harmless could be misused.
Use Etaira's Reporting System Immediately
If you believe a listing may be connected to a potential scam, you can request a review directly through the platform.
To submit a report:
- Open the listing page.
- Select "Report Listing".
- Clearly describe what happened.
- Attach any available evidence.
- Confirm and submit your report.
All reports are handled confidentially, and your personal information remains protected.
The Etaira Team Reviews Reports Every Day
All reports are reviewed by the moderation team, which continuously monitors the platform to identify suspicious activity, fake profiles, and potentially harmful behavior.
The most serious cases are given priority in order to reduce risks for other users.
Do Not Delete Conversations or Messages
If you have received threats or suspicious requests, keep all available evidence.
It is recommended to save:
- Chat conversations.
- Screenshots.
- Emails.
- Phone numbers.
- Payment receipts.
This information may be valuable during investigations or if you decide to report the incident to the authorities.
When You Should Contact the Authorities
If extortion attempts continue or the threats become persistent, you should contact the appropriate authorities and provide all the evidence you have collected.
Reporting these incidents helps combat fraudulent activities and protects others from experiencing similar situations.
Have You Already Sent Money? Act Immediately
If you made a payment because you felt pressured or threatened, try to act as quickly as possible.
Immediately contact:
- Your bank.
- The issuer of the payment card you used.
- The payment service provider.
In some cases, it may be possible to block or recover the transferred funds.
You should also report the incident to the authorities and notify Etaira so that further checks can be carried out on the accounts involved.
Beware of Anyone Pretending to Be Etaira
Etaira never requests money transfers on behalf of advertisers and does not intervene in payments made between users.
Any message claiming to represent Etaira while requesting money, personal information, or urgent payments should be considered suspicious.
