🛡️ Security & Scam Prevention

🛡️ Security & Scam Prevention

At CareerSafi, we strive to keep every interaction safe, but just like anywhere else on the internet, it’s important to stay alert. Whether you’re a Client hiring a Freelancer or a Freelancer looking for work, here are the practical signs and red flags to help you steer clear of scams or shady behavior.

🧠 Common Scams to Watch Out For

1. Requests to Work Outside the Platform

If someone suggests paying or communicating outside CareerSafi (via WhatsApp, PayPal, email, etc.), stop immediately. This is the #1 red flag. It breaks our terms and leaves you unprotected in case of disputes.

🚫 “Let’s take this to Telegram, and I’ll pay you directly.” — Don’t fall for it.

2. Too-Good-To-Be-True Offers

If a job or payment offer seems too easy, too quick, or overly generous, trust your gut. Scammers often lure freelancers with fake high-paying gigs and then ask for personal information or upfront payments.

3. Requests for Upfront Fees

Legit clients will never ask you to pay them first. If a user asks for:

  • Payment to “secure the job”
  • Training or software fees
  • Payment for “registration” or onboarding

…it’s a scam. Report it immediately.

4. Fake Payment Confirmations

Some scammers pretend to have sent payment or shared doctored receipts. Always confirm payments through your CareerSafi dashboard. If it’s not showing in your balance or escrow, it doesn’t exist.

5. Rush Tactics or High Pressure

Scammers want to rush you into a bad decision. If someone says:

“You must act now or lose the job”
“Send your details ASAP”

Take a step back. Good clients respect your time and process.

🛡️ How CareerSafi Helps Protect You

  • Escrow system: Funds are held safely until work is completed.
  • Verified profiles: Look for clients or freelancers with a history and positive reviews.
  • Built-in messaging: Keep all chats within CareerSafi so support can review them if needed.

âś… How to Stay Safe

  • Always use CareerSafi’s payment and messaging tools
  • Never share sensitive info like passwords, ID numbers, or bank logins
  • Check profiles before engaging — look for ratings, reviews, and project history
  • Use milestones for large projects to avoid full commitment upfront

đźš© What to Do If You Suspect a Scam

  1. Stop communication immediately
  2. Take screenshots of messages or files
  3. Click “Report User” on their profile or project
  4. Or contact our support team via the Contact Page

CareerSafi is built on trust and transparency. With a little caution and the right tools, you can confidently work with clients or freelancers knowing you’re protected.
