The vast majority of ads are posted by honest people and trust. So you can do excellent business. Despite this, it is important to follow a few common sense rules following to prevent any attempt to scam.
Doing business with people you can meet in person.
Never send money by Western Union, MoneyGram or other anonymous payment systems.
Never send money or products abroad.
Do not accept checks.
Ask about the person you're dealing with another confirming source name, address and telephone number.
Keep copies of all correspondence (emails, ads, letters, etc.) and details of the person.
If a deal seems too good to be true, there is every chance that this is the case. Refrain.
Recognize attempted scam
