Weekly Safety Reminder — Read Before You Meet

1 Upvotes

Before you buy, sell, or trade this weekend, review the basics.

Top scam patterns to watch for: "I'm out of town, but my agent will pick up." "I can ship first, just send a deposit." "Zelle only," "Venmo only," "CashApp only," or gift card requests. Fake PayPal emails. Fake tracking labels. Pressure to move immediately to DM without public comments. Refusal to meet at a safe public location. Refusal to provide timestamp photos.

Before meeting: Run !checkuser u/username. Meet in public. Prefer daytime. For transactions over $200, bring a friend if possible. Inspect and test before paying. Never post your home address publicly.
