Are classified ads legit?
Yes, classified ads online can be usually legit, but there are also potential scams to look out for. It is important to be careful when using them as they are often a favorite target of fraudsters. Always read the details carefully and if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Research the seller, if available, and check out the terms of the transaction. Never make a payment before seeing the goods. Also, watch out for those offering items without requesting any payment; it is more than likely a scam. Always trust your instincts and don’t be afraid to back away if something does not seem right.
Be sure to talk to byBench’s team if you notice anything suspicious, so appropriate action can be taken.
