Basic principles

Four habits that apply to every kind of exchange.

• Never transfer money before verifying.
• Pressure to decide quickly is the most common fraud signal.
• Keep the conversation inside JARI.
• Asking for ID, proof of business and a contract is not rude.

Housing

Never pay before visiting, and always use a written contract.

• The deposit is paid only after signing the lease or sublet contract.
• In France, a deposit paid without a written contract is very hard to recover.
• Check the area, size, rent and duration against the listing.

Buying and selling

Prefer in-person handover and pay after seeing the item.

• Refuse external payment links and upfront deposit requests.
• For shipping, require tracking and proof of dispatch.

Jobs

An employer asking for money to hire you is fraud, without exception.

• Never start working without an employment contract.
• Get the contract type, salary, hours and location confirmed in writing.

• The SIRET number is public information and can be checked online.
