How to detect fraud

Tips to detect fraud while buying or selling

For buyers, pay extra attention when:

• The product has a suspiciously low price.
• The seller asks for an advance payment/fee
• The seller gives a different location from the one provided in the ad.
• The seller cannot meet in a public place but insists on delivering the item.
• The seller requests for personal information (bank details, email address, debit/credit card number e.t.c or other information that could be misused).
• The ad appears too good to be true!

For sellers, pay extra attention when:

• The buyer insists on paying via cheque, western union or moneygram.
• The buyer insists on receiving the item before paying for it.
• The buyer requests for personal information (bank details, email address, debit/credit card number e.t.c or other information that could be misused).
• The buyer is located in a foreign country.
