All legitimate buyers and sellers will make themselves available to meet in person (pick a safe, public place) and will also offer a valid phone number for you to talk to them. Also, if the price on an item seems way to low to be true, then it probably is. Do not fall for these ads, we try hard to filter out these ads but occasionally some are missed.
