Meet in safe places
- Always meet in busy, public locations — shopping centres, petrol stations, or police station forecourts.
- Bring a friend or family member along, especially for high-value items.
- Trade during daylight hours.
Inspect before you pay
- See and test the item in person before handing over any money.
- For electronics, check serial numbers and test core functions.
- For cars, request a roadworthy and check the VIN against the registration papers.
Avoid scams
- Never pay upfront for items you haven't seen.
- Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true.
- Don't share OTPs, banking PINs or ID copies with strangers.
- Use trusted payment methods — cash on collection or instant EFT you can verify.
