How do I use the platform safely?
In short HandyMan24 never asks for your password, SMS code, card details or a transfer for work to a “Platform account”. A request like that is a fraud attempt.
We never ask for your password, SMS code or card details: not in a message, not by e-mail, not by phone. Nor do we ask for payment for a professional’s work to a “Platform account”. You pay the professional directly. A request like that is a fraud attempt. Report it with the “Report” button next to the message.
What to watch out for
- Don’t open links or files from people you don’t know.
- Don’t pay in advance for work you haven’t agreed on yet.
- Your password stays with you, and you don’t share your account with anyone.
- Talk in the app. We show the other side’s phone number and surname only after a professional is chosen; before that, we hide them in the text automatically.
When something’s wrong
- You can block someone you don’t want to talk to.
- Report a hacked account straight away through “Help”, topic “Account hacked or money taken”.
- Report threats or a dangerous situation at the work site through “Help” as well, choosing the matching topic. We check urgent cases every day, weekends included.
If someone is in danger, call 112 first.
