General Safety Tips

  • Be careful

    Conduct a background check on the company before going for an interview and also verify its website. Do not submit any upfront fees for a job application or go for interviews in remote or unfamiliar places. There should be no sharing of personal details such as bank account number or copy of your ID.

  • Meet Sellers in person

    Check the quality of the vehicle and make sure it meets your expectations before making payment

  • Prepayments are strictly prohibited

    Buyers - no prepayment should be made for either the delivery or the products. You can discuss the delivery cost, but payment should be made only AFTER the product is delivered successfully. Sellers - don't ask for any prepayments before delivery!

  • 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 your financial information

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

Scams and frauds to watch out for

Fake fee requests

Avoid anyone who asks for extra fees to buy or sell an item or service. We never requests payments for its basic services and does not allow items that are not located in Nigeria, so import and brokerage fees should never be required.

Fake payment services

Spik & Span does not offer any payment scheme in purchases. Please, report users claiming to offer such services.

Requests to use money transfer services

Services such as Western Union or MoneyGram are not meant for transactions between strangers and many scams are run through them. Avoid such requests.
