Safety Tips

Effective date: 14 November 2026

Islamabad Business Directory helps people discover local businesses, but every visitor should make independent checks before visiting, paying or sharing information.

Before you contact or buy

• Check the business name, address, website and phone number through more than one source where possible.
• Ask for the full price, scope, delivery timing and refund position in writing before paying.
• Meet in a safe public place for high-value transactions when appropriate.
• Keep invoices, messages and payment records.

Protect your account

• Use a unique, strong password for your directory account.
• Never share a password, one-time code or banking credentials with anyone who contacts you unexpectedly.
• Be cautious of messages that pressure you to act quickly or request payment outside the agreed process.
• Report suspected account misuse promptly through Contact Us.

For business owners

Keep your listing current and clearly identify your official contact channels. Do not claim verification, qualifications or guarantees that you cannot support. If a customer reports an issue, respond professionally and retain clear records.

Report suspicious activity

We cannot guarantee the conduct of independent businesses or users. If you spot a suspected scam, false listing or unsafe content, do not send sensitive information or money. Report it through Contact Us with the relevant page link and details. Review our Posting Rules and Community Standards.
