Sicherheitshinweise
Your safety is our priority. Here are some tips for a secure buying and selling experience on EQUIDU.
Best Practices for Safe Buying
Always communicate through the EQUIDU platform. Be wary of offers that seem too good to be true. Always verify the horse's details and ask for a vet check before finalizing a purchase. Ensure all agreements are put in writing.
Guidelines for Sellers
Provide transparent and honest listings. Screen potential buyers and schedule viewings in a safe, public, or familiar location. Never share personal financial information and use secure payment methods.
Recognizing and Preventing Scams
Phishing Attempts
Beware of fake emails or links asking for your login details. Always access EQUIDU directly.
Overpayment Scams
Decline offers where the buyer offers to pay more than the asking price and asks for a refund of the difference.
Off-Platform Communication
Insist on using EQUIDU's messaging system. Scammers often try to move the conversation to email or text.
Secure Payments & In-Person Meetings

Use secure, traceable payment methods. Avoid wire transfers to unknown parties. For in-person meetings, choose a safe, public location, and never go alone. Always let someone know where you are going and who you are meeting.
Verifying Horse Details

Request all relevant documentation, including registration papers, health records, and competition history. We highly recommend a pre-purchase veterinary examination (vet check) by an independent veterinarian to assess the horse's health and suitability.
