Where money moves, scams follow. Here's what protects you and what to watch for.
1.Never pay outside Taskly
Money that was not funded through Taskly has no protection. 'Just send it to my account directly' is the single most common scam.
Before starting work, check in the workspace that the task is actually funded.
2.Advance fees are always a scam
If someone offering you work asks for a 'registration fee', 'deposit' or 'software licence', report it. On Taskly a Tasker never pays up front.
3.Never hand over credentials
Nobody should ask for your password, a one-time code, a 2FA code, or access to your email.
If the task itself requires logging into someone else's account, treat it as suspect.
4.Keep the conversation on Taskly
Workspace messages and submitted files are the evidence in a dispute. What was said elsewhere is invisible to us.
5.What we do
Every published task is screened by explicit rules: illegal services, credential requests, advance-fee patterns and pushes to take contact off-platform.
High-risk tasks are held for human review instead of going live.
Funded money is immobile while a dispute is open.
Attachments are validated by both extension and file contents, stored outside the web root, and always served as downloads.
6.Before you accept a task
Look at the poster's profile and their history with previous taskers.
If the requirements are vague, ask first. 'We'll figure it out later' means you'll argue about it later.
Check that the deadline and the budget are actually realistic for you.
If something looks wrong, use the Report button on the task or profile. Reports go straight to an administrator.
