Meet in Public Places
Always meet in well-lit, busy locations — shopping malls, coffee shops, or areas with security cameras. Never invite strangers to your home or visit unfamiliar private addresses.
Bring a Companion
When possible, bring a friend or family member. If going alone, tell someone your meeting details, location, and expected return time.
Inspect Before Purchase
Carefully examine all items before completing a purchase or exchange. Test electronics, check for damage, and verify item condition in person.
Trust Your Instincts
If something feels off or too good to be true, it probably is. You are never obligated to complete a transaction — walk away without hesitation.
Never Pay Before Seeing the Item
Do not send money, mobile transfers, or deposits to someone you haven't met. Cash in hand at the point of exchange is safest for most local transactions.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Avoid wire transfers, gift cards, or cryptocurrency with unknown sellers — these cannot be reversed. For high-value items, use a method that offers buyer protection.
Protect Your Account
Never share your password or login code with anyone. Junub Classifieds will never ask for your password via message, email, or phone call.
Beware of Suspicious Links
Do not click links sent via messages that lead to external sites asking for your login or payment details. Always verify you are on junubclassifieds.com.
Keep Personal Data Private
Do not share your national ID, passport, bank account numbers, or home address in ad listings or messages until you have verified the other party.
Sellers: Spot Fake Buyers
Be wary of buyers who overpay and ask for a refund, send fake payment confirmations, or pressure you to ship before payment clears. Always confirm funds are received.
These are common signs of a scam or unsafe situation. If you notice any of these, stop the transaction and report it.
