Stay safe from scams seeking personal/bank details

How you can protect yourself

Only give your card details when placing an ad

The only place you should ever give your bank account or debit or credit card details is on the DoneDeal website when you are paying for an ad.

Computer/laptop users: http://www.donedeal.ie/donedeal/publish/ is the web address of the first page of the ad placement process if you are on a computer.

Mobile/tablet users: If you are on your phone, just place your ad straight from the app. Or go directly to the DoneDeal website yourself in the browser.

Bank account and card details

We do not request your bank account or debit or credit card details in a phone call, text message, email or email newsletter/ezine/promotional email - not even if we're giving a refund. We may direct you back to the Place an ad section.
