Safety: Conduct Transactions Locally and In-Person

Preventing Scams

Top Rule: Never wire funds and avoid accepting fake checks.

• Only make payments to individuals you have met in person.
• All transactions should occur directly between users.
• Keep your financial details private and secure.
• Do not agree to buy or rent properties without viewing them first.
• Hold off on background or credit checks until you’ve met with the landlord or employer face-to-face.
• Stay alert for any signs of potential scams.
