The following tips can help you identify common risks and make safer decisions.
Meet in a Safe Place
When buying or selling in person, choose a public and well-known location. Avoid meeting strangers at isolated places.
Check the Item Before Paying
Inspect the product carefully and make sure it matches the advertisement before making a payment.
Be Careful With Payments
Avoid sending money before you have verified the seller, product and transaction. Be especially careful with requests for advance payments.
Never Share Sensitive Information
Do not share passwords, OTPs, bank PINs, card security codes or other confidential information with another person.
Verify Important Details
For vehicles, property and other high-value items, verify ownership, documents and other important details before completing a transaction.
Watch for Suspicious Offers
If an offer looks unusually good or someone pressures you to act immediately, take extra time to verify the information.
Protect Your Personal Information
Only provide information that is necessary for the transaction. Avoid unnecessarily sharing your home address or other private details.
Report Suspicious Activity
If you notice a suspicious advertisement, misleading information or potentially fraudulent activity, stop the transaction and report it to the marketplace.
