Lanka Ads safety tips

Ok Lanka Ads helps people discover advertisements. You arrange conversations, meetings, and payments directly with advertisers. Take time to check the details before you act.

Before you contact an advertiser

A few checks can prevent most avoidable problems.

Read the whole listing

Check the description, location, price, conditions, and contact details. Ask for clarification when information is missing or inconsistent.

Verify claims independently

Photos and labels are useful context, but they are not a guarantee of identity, availability, or service quality. Request current details before committing.

Protect personal information

Do not share passwords, one-time codes, banking credentials, or identity documents with someone you met through an ad.

Plan meetings carefully

When meeting is appropriate, choose a safe place, tell someone you trust where you are going, and leave if circumstances differ from what was agreed.

Be cautious with payments

Avoid advance payments to someone you have not verified. Confirm the amount, recipient, and terms directly. Keep your chat history and receipts if a payment is necessary.

A cashback label, when shown on an eligible ad, has specific conditions. Read the information on that ad and keep evidence of the arrangement. Do not assume every listing or payment is covered.

See something suspicious?

Stop the conversation if an ad seems fraudulent, misleading, coercive, or unsafe. Send the ad link and a short explanation to the support channel; screenshots and payment records can help us review a report.

This platform publishes advertisements; it is not a party to transactions between users and advertisers. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact the appropriate local emergency service.
