Six Ways To Protect Yourself And Stay Safe On Paxful<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Staying on\u00a0 and monitoring\u00a0 the trade chat<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    People tend to exit the chat to finish trade, even though this may happen, do not click on suspicious unfamiliar links. Be careful of users asking you to cancel the trade or to switch over to a different offer link.\u00a0 Chatting outside of Paxful\u2019s trade chat is dangerous because if your trade ends up in a dispute, Paxful can\u2019t fully help to resolve the issue since it is beyond their jurisdiction. Be sure that you are logged to “<\/span>https:\/\/paxful.com<\/span>” before entering your account details.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Don’t share your personal information.\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Never share any personal information in the trade chat, users can try to dupe you on off-site trades or impersonate you.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Identify real Paxful moderators.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Try as much as possible to alert and identify the real team of Paxful moderators.<\/span><\/p>\n

        It\u2019s important to know that they have specific chat bubbles and signatures which makes them unique.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Set up two-factor authentication.<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          It is recommended to set up <\/span>two-factor authentication<\/span> as soon as you create your Paxful account. You can set this up in your account settings, the best way to do this is using Google Authenticator.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Use security questions<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            This is another way to secure back your account in case of an attack. It\u2019s best to set up your questions and answers when you create your Paxful account, but you can set them up at any time in your account settings. Be smart to pick questions and answers that you will never forget!<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Active sessions<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              It is important to be always active, avoid leaving your account dormant. Frequently check out the devices you\u2019re currently logged in to your Paxful account on to be sure it is your device. You can check this in the security tab of your Paxful account. If you don\u2019t recognize the device, click the \u201cx\u201d on the page to log your Paxful account out of that device. Change your password immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n
