Safety Tips for Using Silpka

Your safety is important. Silpka is a directory that helps you find listings, but we cannot control what happens outside the website. Please follow these simple safety tips every time.

Never Pay in Advance Zero deposit or booking fees
Verify First Voice / video check before meeting
Protect Privacy Keep personal documents private
Rule 01 · Critical Warning Most Important Rule

1. Never Pay Any Advance or Deposit

This is the most important rule.

  • Do not send money in advance
  • Do not pay any booking fee, deposit, or “confirmation” amount
  • Do not transfer money via UPI, Paytm, bank transfer, or any online method before meeting

Real and genuine people never ask for advance payment. Anyone asking for money before meeting is almost always a scam.

Rule 02 · Scam Awareness

2. Watch Out for Common Scams

Be careful of these common tricks:

  • Asking for advance payment to “confirm” the booking
  • Asking for money for travel, hotel, or “security”
  • Sending fake photos or using someone else’s pictures
  • Pressuring you to decide or pay quickly
  • Asking for personal details like Aadhaar, bank details, or OTP
If anything feels suspicious, stop communication immediately.
Rule 03 · Pre-Meeting Checks

3. Verify Before You Meet

  • Talk properly before deciding to meet
  • Ask simple questions to check if the person is real
  • Prefer video or voice call if possible
  • Never share your full address or exact location too early
Rule 04 · Location Safety

4. Choose Safe Meeting Places

  • Meet in a public place first if you are not sure
  • Inform a trusted friend about your plans
  • Keep your phone charged and with you
  • Have your own transportation arrangement
Rule 05 · Data Protection

5. Protect Your Personal Information

  • Do not share your full name, home address, or workplace
  • Do not send photos of your ID, documents, or bank details
  • Use a separate number if possible
  • Be careful with social media links
Rule 06 · Intuition & Safety

6. Trust Your Instincts
