How to tell if the advert is a scam ?
- Check on the seller's public profile, click on their avatar.
- Does the seller respond to inquiries through the classifieds?
- Are there similar ads on other websites for the same item? Are they the same, or different?
- If you purchase the item, will it require shipment from a foreign country?
- Are they responding to you with a free email account (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, ....)?
- If they are using PayPal to receive payment, does PayPal classify them as a verified PayPal Account?
