Safety Tips

Zutilo helps people connect, but every marketplace deal still needs care. Follow these practical tips before you meet, pay, or share information.

We do not allow offensive content or abusive behaviour. Report fraud, harassment, illegal goods or misleading ads. Our team reviews reports within 24 hours and may remove ads or suspend accounts. You can block a seller to hide their ads from Home, search and similar listings.
