  • Talk to people on the phone and use your common sense before providing them information, like your complete address, and trust your instincts.
  • If someone is coming to check out the items you advertised, make sure you’re not alone when they arrive.
  • Its always good to show items that are portable but expensive like digital camera in public places instead of your home.
  • Take some one along with you when you meet the people personally.
  • Meet people in a public place.

  • Avoid up-front payments via money order, wire transfer, jazz cash, easy-paisa or any other online payment channel before you see the item and meet the person personally.
  • Use common sense and never provide your personnel information and trust your instincts
  • Always meet people in a public place.
  • When you go some one’s house always bring a friend.
