Fraud prevention

Act locally, face to face - follow this rule and avoid 99% of fraudulent attempts.

  • ✅ Don't pay anyone you haven't met in person.
  • ✅ Beware of offers related to online earnings - chat with locals you may meet in person.
  • ✅ Never transfer funds (e.g. PayPal, CitiBank) - anyone who asks you to transfer is a scammer.
  • ✅ Do not accept money transfers from strangers - this is either cashing illegal money with your help or a way to further manipulate you.
  • ✅ Never provide financial information (information about a bank card, electronic accounts CitiBank, PayPal, etc.).

If you are tricked by someone you met in person, contact your local police station.

If you suspect that GETWAB profile may be fraudulent, please send us details.
