A Quick Guide to Browsing Classified Ads More Safely

Use this simple checklist to evaluate offers, ask useful questions and avoid sharing sensitive information with strangers.

Read beyond the headline

Look for a detailed description, realistic terms, location and reliable contact information.

Ask questions

Request additional details and verify information independently. Be cautious of pressure to pay immediately or move to unusual payment channels.

Protect your information

Never share passwords, one-time codes or sensitive financial details. If an offer seems suspicious, do not proceed and report it to the platform operator.
