Buying or selling online? ScamGuard's marketplace scam checker analyzes listings, seller chats and proof of payment screenshots across Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, OLX and more.
Listing has perfect studio photos. Reverse-image search shows them on AliExpress. Seller wants EFT only, no collection.
Buyer sends a 'proof of payment' screenshot at midnight. You hand over the iPhone. Money never reflects.
Buyer insists on their courier collecting. Courier is a friend who collects the goods, and the POP turns out fake.
Fraud on buy-sell platforms — fake listings, stolen-photo dropshipping, fake proof of payment, courier-collection scams and overpayment refund scams.
Check listing age, seller profile age, reverse-image the photos, demand video proof of the item, and run the conversation through ScamGuard before paying.
Never release goods on a POP screenshot alone — wait for funds to clear in your account. Avoid couriers the buyer arranged themselves.
