Here's some advice on how to stay safe while trading on Bikroy.

General safety advice

Verify Items in Person

Always meet the seller and inspect the item thoroughly before proceeding with any payment.

While applying for a job

Research the job and the employer before you apply. Don’t give out personal information before meeting the employer in person. Avoid going to remote locations for an interview.

Exchange item and payment at the same time

Buyers: don't make any payments before receiving an item. Sellers: don't send an item before receiving payment.

Use common sense

Avoid anything that appears too good to be true, such as unrealistically low prices and promises of quick money.

Never give out financial information

This includes bank account details, eBay/PayPal info, and any other information that could be misused.

Scams and frauds to watch out for

Fake payment services

Bikroy does not offer any form of payment scheme or protection. Please report any emails claiming to offer such services. Avoid using online payment services or escrow sites unless you are 100% sure that they are genuine.

Fake information requests

Bikroy never sends emails requesting your personal details. If you receive an email asking you to provide your personal details to us, do not open any links. Please report the email and delete it.

Fake fee requests

Avoid anyone that asks for extra fees to buy or sell an item or service. Bikroy never requests payments for its basic services, and doesn't allow items that are not located in Bangladesh, so import and brokerage fees should never be required.

Requests to use money transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram

These services are not meant for transactions between strangers and many scams are run through them. Avoid requests to use these services.

Caution: No Delivery Options at Bkman

Bkman no longer offers delivery. Please report any false claims and avoid payment for such services.
