Safety tips

You're meeting strangers from the internet. Keep it simple and safe:

• Meet in public, on campus. Lobby, student union, library entrance — somewhere with people and cameras.
• Bring a friend, especially for evening meetups or big furniture pickups.
• Inspect before you pay. Test electronics, sit on the chair, flip through the textbook. Photos can lie.
• Pay in person. Never send money in advance for a DormSwap listing — no wire transfers, no gift cards.
• Keep contact info minimal. DormSwap never shows your email publicly. Don't share your dorm room number with strangers.
• Trust your gut. If a deal feels off, walk away. There's always another futon.
• Report suspicious listings. Email indiemarketingarsenal@proton.me and we'll pull the listing.
