Adverts Buzz is committed to creating a safe, transparent, and trustworthy online marketplace for users across Africa and the world. Our Anti-Fraud Policy outlines the measures in place to prevent fraud, protect our users, and promote secure transactions.
1. Platform Transparency
Adverts Buzz is a global listing platform powered by Kenya Digital Cloud.
We provide a space where individuals and businesses can list, promote, and discover products or services. However:
-
We are not directly involved in the transactions between buyers and sellers.
-
We only accept payments for advert promotion, boosting, and banner advertisements.
-
Buyers and sellers are solely responsible for any agreements or exchanges made on the platform.
2. Verified and Unverified Users
-
Verified users have a higher trust rating, and we recommend interacting with them when possible.
-
Unverified users are allowed for inclusivity and affordability, especially for small businesses and individuals across Africa.
-
Users are strongly advised to exercise caution when dealing with unverified individuals or companies.
3. Safe Payment Practices
To reduce fraud risk, users should never pay via cryptocurrency, gift cards, or untraceable methods.
Instead, always use secure, traceable payment methods like:
-
M-Pesa
-
Bank Transfers (to verified accounts)
-
PayPal
-
Mobile Money services registered in your country
Using official channels ensures that, in case of fraud, the individual or entity can be traced and legal action taken.
4. How We Fight Fraud
We actively monitor for:
-
Fake listings and duplicate ads
-
Scams involving requests for upfront fees or sensitive personal information
