Meeting Safely:
If you choose to meet a seller or buyer in person, please take the following precautions:

• Meet in a public place such as a café, library, or community center, where there are other people around.
• Inform a friend or family member of your meeting details, including the time, location, and who you are meeting.
• Carry only as much cash as necessary and consider using electronic payment methods when appropriate.

Protecting Your Privacy:

• Do not share personal information such as your home address, social security number, or banking details with other users.
• Use a secondary or temporary email address for communication and consider using a secure messaging service.

Recognizing Scams and High-Risk Transactions:

• Be wary of prices that seem too good to be true or anyone pressuring you to make a quick decision.
• Research the seller or buyer by reading reviews or feedback from previous transactions if available.
• If a transaction requires payment upfront without a guaranteed return (like deposits) or seems overly complicated, exercise extreme caution.
