Meeting a stranger, but never on your own

On TATAK only identity-checked neighbors trade, the meetup place is one we verified, and what you agreed on stays on record. If something goes wrong, we show you exactly where to go.

What we actually do

Only identity-checked people take partA student ID or a government ID, checked by a person — not by an automatic reader.

We checked the meetup placesVerified spots across Negros, every coordinate measured — so nobody gets sent to an empty lot after dark.

Every trade leaves a recordMessages, the agreed time, the place, and any report are kept. When you report, we preserve the record from that moment.

There is somewhere to goReport inside TATAK first, then barangay conciliation, then the police cybercrime desk. We walk you through each step.

If something goes wrong

You do not have to sort it out alone. Take these in order.

1
Report inside TATAK

2
Barangay conciliation (Katarungang Pambarangay)
