🛡️ Safe buying: How to spot scammers

⏱ 1 min read · 10 Contents

10 warning signs of fraud on classifieds and how to protect yourself.

1. Too cheap offers

An iPhone for 200€, a car for 1000€ below market value? If it sounds too good, its probably a scam.

"There are 5 other interested parties" or "Only available today"? Scammers create time pressure so you dont think.

Never send money via Western Union, PayPal to friends or crypto. Use secure payment methods with buyer protection.

"Im abroad" or "Can only ship by post"? Insist on a personal handover in a public place.

Links leading to fake payment pages. Always check the URL. Never enter bank details on unfamiliar sites.

Invoices, receipts or shipping confirmations can be forged. Verify documents through official channels.

Scammers use other peoples photos and names. Profiles without verification: caution. Ask for a video call.

Seller demands shipping abroad and advance payment? Very high risk. Stick to local deals.

Emails supposedly from Kapnula demanding payment outside the platform? Kapnula never demands advance payment. Report such emails.

If something feels off — trust your instinct. A legitimate deal feels right. If in doubt: walk away.
