Contact your local emergency services. In the United States, call 911. Kedesa reporting tools are not a substitute for emergency assistance.
Before You Meet, Buy, Sell, or Hire
Use the information on Kedesa as a starting point, then make a safe decision.
Review the details
Read the listing, business profile, deal terms, dates, location, price, and any restrictions before committing.
Confirm who you are dealing with
Verify the business or person, especially before sharing personal information, traveling, paying, or allowing someone into your home.
Choose a safe location
For person-to-person exchanges, prefer a well-lit public place when practical and tell someone where you are going.
Keep important records
Save receipts, written terms, appointment details, messages, and other information that may help resolve a problem later.
Watch for Common Warning Signs
If something feels unusually urgent, secretive, or inconsistent, verify it before proceeding.
- Pressure to pay immediately before you can verify the offer, business, item, service, or person.
- Requests for gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or unusual payment methods with little recourse.
- A price, discount, rental, service, job, or opportunity that changes substantially after you make contact.
- Requests for passwords, verification codes, full payment credentials, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive data that is not reasonably necessary.
- Someone claiming that Kedesa guarantees a transaction, requires payment outside the normal flow, or needs remote access to your device.
Community Safety
Kedesa works best when local information is useful, accurate, and respectful.
Community members
- Post accurate locations, dates, prices, conditions, and descriptions.
- Avoid publishing private information about another person without a legitimate reason or permission.
- Do not use community features for harassment, threats, impersonation, fraud, or illegal activity.
- Report content that appears deceptive, dangerous, abusive, or materially inaccurate.
Businesses
- Honor posted deal terms, availability, pricing, dates, and material restrictions.
- Use truthful business information and do not misrepresent affiliation, verification, inventory, or services.
- Protect customer information and only collect what is reasonably needed for the transaction or service.
- Keep communications professional and relevant to the local opportunity or customer request.
Verification, Reviews & Reports
Platform signals help, but they do not replace your own judgment.
Verification is not a guarantee
A Kedesa verification status or review may indicate that certain information was reviewed. It does not guarantee quality, licensing, safety, availability, performance, identity, or the outcome of a transaction.
When you see suspicious or harmful content, use the available report option or contact Kedesa. Reports may be reviewed alongside account, listing, marketplace, and safety information so Kedesa can decide whether content should be corrected, restricted, removed, or escalated.
