Fraud Tip: How to Avoid Online Marketplace Scams

FRAUD TIP!⚠️
Shopping on marketplace sites can be a fun way to find unique gifts for the holidays. However, it is okay to question the integrity of the individual you are buying from and the item posted. Here are 3 things to consider when making marketplace purchases:
1) Check if the seller has an established profile and positive reviews.
2) Ask for more information or a second photo of the item.
3) If buying locally, meet at a safe, public place during the day. Bring a friend, if possible.
Remember, a few precautions can go a long way to ensure a happy shopping experience.
