Avoiding Scams on Our Platform
Key rule: Always deal locally and meet face-to-face to avoid scams.
DO NOT:
- Exchange payment before meeting in person.
- Respond to requests for wire transfers, gift cards, or cashier’s checks.
- Trust escrow services—they may be fraudulent.
- Share sensitive information like bank details, app logins, or personal IDs.
Watch out for:
- Offers involving shipping or third-party movers.
- Claims of "guaranteed" transactions or secure payment services.
- Requests for additional information via email or phone.
- Anyone asking for a "code" or "verification"—this is always a scam.
Safe interactions:
- Use in-app messaging to discuss listings.
- Arrange meetings in public, secure locations.
