Quick Safety Tips for Buying or Selling
While most members of BDBiggapon have good experiences, it’s important to stay alert and educated about how to stay safe.
It’s important to know what the average cost of the item you’re looking for is in comparison to the ad you’re viewing. If it’s drastically less than similar items, be careful. Fraudsters often post a once-in-a-lifetime deal to pull in as many people as possible. The common saying stands: if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.
Do Your Research
If you’re buying an item, get to know what normally comes with it and make sure that all the parts you’ll need are there. For high-valued items, it’s also important to know what replicas look like and how to tell if it’s genuine.
If you’re looking into a service, job, or anything offered by a business, verify the company. Make sure that their address and phone number right. If available, look up online.
Don’t Give Out Personal Information
When speaking to individuals online, it’s important to be cautious when giving out information. Never give out your identification or banking details unless you are 100% sure that you’re speaking with the real company. Note: BDBiggapon’s customer service team will never ask for your password, or banking details.
Meet in Person Before Paying
A Fraudster’s greatest tool is that online translations are anonymous. Don’t provide any money until after you’ve met them in person and had a chance to inspect the item. We recommend that you meet during the day in a busy, public location like a coffee shop.
Choose Safe Payment Methods
Try to pay with cash, and don’t share any personal information such as bank or payment card numbers, or any other personal information that isn’t necessary for buying. For your safety, make your purchase in a public place, or take someone with you to the seller’s house. If you can’t use cash, use a safe method for payment and make sure that the payment has been processed after receiving the item. Many forms of money transfer can be faked or are hard to reverse should anything go wrong.
Trust Your Gut
Sometimes a sale just seems off. If anything isn’t sitting right with you, don’t be afraid to walk away. You are not obligated to follow through with a transaction even if you’ve already agreed to a price.
