Stay safe when trading online. Here are some things to look out for:

For Buyers

• Item sold at a very low price compared to similar items from other sellers. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.
• Seller allows you to make a partial payment 1st, then full payment after you receive the item.
• Seller claims to be unavailable to meet for cash-on-delivery.
  
  

For Sellers

• Potential buyer offers a very high price for your item.
• Buyer requests you to pay additional fees such as for shipping or insurance.
• Buyer sends fake proof of payment or overpays with cheque then requests for a refund.
• You receive fake emails from seemingly legitimate websites requesting for payment.
  
  

Safety Tips

For Buyers

• Cash-on-delivery is the safest option. Only pay after inspecting goods in person.
• Transfer money to an unknown seller at your own risk.
• Meet at public and well-lit places such as a shopping center or mamak.
  
  

For Sellers

• Be careful if you are requested to pay anyone for anything.
• Avoid deals where the buyer offers to pay using Western Union, money order, cheque or similar.
