Why do scammers find their way into open marketplaces?

Why open marketplaces break

Anyone, from any city, can post a too-good price and ask for a deposit. Nobody knows where they live, and you can't meet them face to face. So spotting the fake becomes your job.

What Garib does differently

You can't list in a district until you've verified you're physically inside it. The seller is a neighbour you can meet hand to hand a few minutes away — not someone you wire a deposit to.

We call it The Verified Neighbour

Every poster in your district is GPS-verified there. And in chat there's no phone number to hand over until you choose to.

We don't claim to stop every scam — nobody can honestly promise that. We remove the easiest route: the faraway stranger hiding behind an account from another city.

The bridge from citywide chaos to your actual street

Three steps take you from "another marketplace app" to a feed built entirely from people who live where you live.

Step 1

Verify your district with a single GPS check

Open the app inside your neighbourhood once and Garib confirms you actually live there. That verification stays valid for 180 days — no daily check-ins, no streaks to keep alive.

Step 2

Browse a feed that's actually local

Every listing you see was posted by a GPS-verified resident of your district — not a reseller across the city or a bot account. What you find nearby is genuinely nearby.

Step 3

Chat and make offers without leaving the app

Message sellers, negotiate offers, and arrange pickup — all in one thread, with no phone number to hand over until you're ready.

This is what people say about open classifieds apps

Not our words. Copied exactly from real App Store reviews, in the original Arabic, with our translation underneath.

«نادرا جدا جدا يجيك انسان حقيقي بيشتري»
Translation: A real person who actually buys almost never shows up.
«ويطلب منك عربون فقط حتى لو 100 ريال وبعدين يسحب عليك»
Translation: He asks for just a deposit, even 100 riyals, and then he pulls a fast one on you.
«يلزمك بادخال رقمك والمحتالين يقومون باخذ الرقم واستعماله للنصب»
Translation: It forces you to enter your number, and scammers take it and use it to defraud.
«تم حظر حسابي ولا اعرف السبب ولايوجد رقم للدعم»
Translation: My account was blocked, I don't know why, and there's no support number.
«كاتبين الاعلان مجاني ولكن حاطين دفع في النهايه»
Translation: They write that the ad is free, but put payment at the end.
