Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about WeFoundIt. Tap a question to expand it.

🔍How does WeFoundIt work?

Report your lost item with a photo and description. Our AI matching system scans all found items and sends you instant notifications when a potential match is detected. You can also browse publicly reported found items.

🧩How does the smart matching work?

When you report a lost or found item, our algorithm compares it against all existing reports using category, document numbers, serial numbers, color, brand, model, and location. If the confidence score reaches 70% or higher, both parties are notified of the potential match.

💰How much does it cost?

Reporting items is 100% free. If your item is found at a partner station, there's a small collection fee (1,000 XAF platform + 2,000 XAF station fee) to cover secure storage and verification.

💳How do I pay the finder's reward?

Once a match is confirmed, you can pay the finder's reward directly through the app using MTN MoMo or Orange Money. The platform takes a 30% service fee, and the finder receives the rest instantly. Minimum reward is 500 XAF.

⏳What if I can't find a match right away?

Don't worry! Your report stays active for 30 days. Our matching algorithm runs every time a new item is reported, so you'll be notified automatically if a match appears later. You can also boost your report for more visibility, and browse the feed to search manually.

🚀Can I boost my report for more visibility?

Yes! You can boost your report to appear at the top of the feed with an "URGENT" badge. Boost packages range from 24 hours to 7 days. This is especially useful for high-value items or time-sensitive documents like passports and national IDs.

🔑How do I prove an item is mine?

When you claim a found item, you may be asked to provide proof of ownership, a receipt, a photo of you with the item, the serial number, or a description of unique features. This protects finders from false claims and ensures items go to the right person.

🔒Is my personal information safe?

Absolutely. Your phone number and email are never shown to other users, they are automatically obscured. All communication happens through secure in-app chat. You can block and report users if needed. We never share your data with third parties.
