Scam and Safety Guide

Parrot4Sale is a marketplace where users connect directly with each other. While most users act in good faith, scams and misuse can occur on any online platform.

This guide explains how to protect yourself and how to report suspicious behavior.

1

How to Spot Fake Buyers and Sellers

Be cautious if a user:

  • Pushes for quick decisions or urgent payment
  • Offers prices that are unrealistically high or low
  • Avoids normal questions about the bird, ownership, or delivery
  • Requests communication outside the platform early (email, WhatsApp, Telegram)
  • Sends copy-paste messages that feel generic or automated

Trust your instincts. If something feels off, pause the interaction.

2

Official Communication from Parrot4Sale

Parrot4Sale will never:

  • Ask for your password
  • Ask for verification codes
  • Ask you to confirm payment details via email, chat, or messaging apps

All official communication happens through:

  • Emails from our official domain
  • Messages visible inside the platform

Any message claiming to be from Parrot4Sale and asking for sensitive information is a scam.

3

What You Should Never Do

To protect your account and personal data, never:

  • Share login credentials or one-time codes
  • Send verification codes via WhatsApp, SMS, or email
  • Click unknown links sent by other users
  • Pay or accept payment through untrusted or unusual methods
  • Share personal or financial information outside the platform

Once shared, this information cannot be taken back.

4

Payments and Transactions

Parrot4Sale does not handle payments between users.

If a transaction involves payment:

  • Make sure you understand the payment method
  • Be cautious of requests to use gift cards, crypto, or irreversible transfers
  • Never rely on screenshots as proof of payment

All transactions are done at your own risk.

5

Reporting a User or Listing

If you encounter suspicious behavior, scam attempts, or misleading listings, report it immediately.

You can report a user or listing by:

  • Using the report function on the platform
  • Contacting support with relevant details and messages

Reports help us identify patterns and take appropriate action, including listing removal or account suspension.

6

Platform Action and Limitations

Parrot4Sale may review reports and take action, including:

  • Removing listings
  • Restricting visibility
  • Suspending or banning users

However, Parrot4Sale cannot guarantee the prevention of scams and is not responsible for losses resulting from user interactions.

7

Stay Alert

Online marketplaces rely on shared responsibility.

Staying cautious, informed, and patient is the most effective protection against scams.
