Safety Tips
Protect yourself from online fraud
The vast majority of listings on our platform are posted by honest and trustworthy people. However, it is important to follow a few simple rules to protect yourself from any attempted scam.
Tips for Protection
Follow these guidelines for a safe experience:
- Only do business with people you can meet in person at a safe, public location
- Never send money via anonymous payment systems such as Western Union or MoneyGram
- Never send money or products abroad
- Do not accept checks as a payment method
- Verify the identity of the person you're dealing with through additional sources
- Keep copies of all correspondence: emails, messages, listings
- If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is — walk away
Signs of a Scam Attempt
Be cautious if you notice any of the following:
- The person claims to be abroad or currently traveling
- They refuse to meet you in person
- They request payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, or check
- Messages are written in broken or awkward language
- Texts appear to be copied and pasted
- The offer seems unusually attractive
