1. General Safety Tips
Use Caution with Personal Information – Never share sensitive details like your home address, banking information, or government-issued IDs with unknown users.
Verify Listings and Sellers – If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Be cautious of unrealistic offers.
Beware of Scams – Avoid sellers or buyers who refuse to meet in person, insist on online payments upfront, or pressure you into quick transactions.
2. Safe Buying & Selling Practices
Meet in Public Places – Always meet in a safe, well-lit, and public location (e.g., a shopping center, coffee shop, or police station).
Cash or Secure Payment Methods – Use cash or trusted payment platforms. Avoid wire transfers or prepaid cards.
Inspect Items Before Payment – Make sure the item matches the listing description before completing the transaction.
3. Recognizing and Avoiding Scams
Fake Listings & Overpayments – Beware of buyers who overpay and ask for a refund or sellers who request payments before providing the item.
Phishing Attempts – Do not click on suspicious links or provide login details to anyone outside of our official platform.
Fraudulent Job Offers – Be cautious of job listings that require upfront payments or personal information before hiring.
