Fraud & Scams
Report Fraud
If something on Loinix feels like a scam, don't proceed with the transaction. Here's how to spot it, report it, and get help.
Common warning signs
- The buyer or seller pushes you to pay outside Loinix, e.g. by bank transfer or gift card.
- A price that seems too good to be true, or pressure to act "right now" before someone else does.
- A seller who won’t meet in person, video call, or answer basic questions about the item.
- Requests for a deposit before you’ve seen the item, or before a delivery has actually shipped.
- Links sent by message that ask you to "verify" your account or payment details outside the app.
