Safety
Staying safe on NearbyLocalDeals
We connect you with local businesses and recruiters, and we review submissions before publishing. Any dealing you then have is between you and them — so here is how to do it with confidence.
Before You Pay a Business
- A "Verified" badge means we carried out a basic check of the listing details. It is not a guarantee of quality, licensing or outcome.
- We are not a party to any booking, service or sale between you and a business. Satisfy yourself independently before you pay anyone or share sensitive information.
- Businesses must honour the offers they advertise, on the stated terms and for the stated period. If an offer is not honoured, tell us.
Looking for a Job
Never pay money to get a job. NearbyLocalDeals never charges a job seeker any fee, and no genuine employer should ask you for a registration, training or security deposit.
- Job posts come from third-party recruiters and employers. We do not verify vacancies, salaries or employers, and we are not an employment agency.
- If someone asks you to pay, stop — and report the post to us.
Protect Your Account
- Do not share your one-time codes (OTPs) with anyone — we will never ask you for them.
- Keep your password confidential.
Reviews You Can Trust
- Fake, paid, incentivised or self-written reviews are not allowed, and we remove them.
- Business owners can reply to reviews and report ones they believe are fake, but they cannot edit or delete genuine reviews about them.
Report a Problem
If a listing, offer, job post or review looks misleading or unsafe, or someone asks you for money in a way that does not feel right, report it to us. We may edit, suspend or remove content that breaches our Terms or attracts credible complaints.
