Scam protection in chat: suspicious payment requests are flagged automatically

The classic classifieds scam goes: "I'll ship it by post — just send a deposit first." Prayk chats are now protected against this scenario: any message showing signs of a payment request, card number or money transfer gets an automatic warning shown to both sides.

The warning states a simple truth: never send a deposit or prepayment before seeing the item. Prayk itself never asks for payment or card details in chat.

Messages aren't deleted and nobody interferes with the conversation — it's a caution signal, not censorship. Together with the "Original listing" badge and the "AI checked" review, it's another link in Prayk's chain of trust.

Spot something suspicious? Use the "Report" button on the listing — our team will look into it.
