Recognize Scammers

You might think that scammers only show up when it comes to high-dollar transactions, but it’s best to be on the lookout no matter what you’re selling.

For example, Craiglist has a list of things to watch out for such as people who want to route payments though a third party, only offer money orders or cashier’s checks. If they alsor efuse to meet in person, that’s a red flag.

Always be wary of people who contact you online and stay safe!
