KidTrail.com Safety Policy

The majority of KidTrail.com users are trustworthy and well-intentioned. However, it's still very important to take the same common sense precautions online as you would offline.

When meeting someone for the first time, please remember to:

  • Insist on a public meeting place like a cafe
  • Do not meet in a secluded place, or invite strangers into your home
  • Be especially careful when buying/selling high value items
  • Tell a friend or family member where you're going
  • Take your cell phone
  • Consider having a friend/family accompany you
  • Trust your instincts

Taking these simple precautions helps make KidTrail.com safer for everyone.

You can avoid scammers by following these common-sense rules whenever using KidTrail.com:

  • Deal Locally With People You Can Meet In Person
  • Never Wire Funds Via Western Union, Moneygram or any other wire service - anyone who asks you to do so is likely a scammer.
  • Fake Cashier Checks & Money Orders Are Common, and Banks Will Cash Them And Then Hold You Responsible when the fake is later discovered.
  • KidTrail.com Is Not Involved In Any Transaction, and does not handle payments, guarantee transactions, provide escrow services, or offer "buyer protection" or "seller certification"
  • Never Give Out Financial Information (bank account number, social security number, eBay/PayPal info, etc.)
  • Avoid Deals Involving Shipping Or Escrow Services and know that Only A Scammer Will "Guarantee" Your Transaction.
