GENERAL SAFETY TIPS
Don't send payments in advance.
Meet in person in a public setting with merchants, or ask for payment upon delivery. Before you send that money, check the item’s quality to make sure it meets your standards.
Check Reviews
This makes it easier to judge someone’s dependability. Reviews are left by customers who have dealt with a specific seller in order to tell other customers about their experiences. Before closing a deal, spend a moment reading reviews. Any experience you have, please share it with other consumers; they will be grateful. Whenever you have or want to deal with a seller or service provider, don’t forget to look at the “Feedback” area.
Make sure the packaged product is the one you checked.
Examine the object, and only make payment once you’ve had it in your hands. Give no room for a con artist to replace it with another.
Never submit your financial information that could be misused.
Be careful and avoid fraud or scams such as fake payment services, payment requests or requests to use money transfer services. Never share your PINs or passwords with anyone..
Use common sense
Please avoid anything that seems too good to be true. For example, unrealistically low prices ,promises of quick money and advance payment. Always meet at public places, inspect everything before making paymentsÂ
