Thing to note to prevent fraud

  1. It is important not to simply bank in your money to anyone's bank account, especially the seller name and the bank account has different name. Make sure the name in account,and their bank account name is the same. In case you need, please ask for the seller's IC(updated : It's is now easier to create bank account with fake / stolen IC, so please beware if you are given their IC / Bank Account which is similar name and they are new.)
  2. If any member request you to bank in money to bank account other then their own name. Report to the admin or webmaster, this are assume to have high fraud risk ( They will normally request you to bank into their boy friends, girl friend or associate name)
  3. Advisable not to trade with a member whose phone is not working or refuse to disclose at least a home or office number. (This person is highly suspicious. So far, all the fraud cases that I know of fit into this category. The seller will try to stay anonymous until he/she receives your money and then disappear).
  4. Not advisable to do trade with members who's not responsive.
  5. You should get the seller's address. This is to ensure that you can return the goods if it is found to be faulty.

Hope this helps ! Happy trading

This is really a very helpful guide. Thanks a lot for sharing. It would be wise for merchandisers to join only the website that they will have complete control on their own items. And if they are going to buy, make sure that it's their smart term that rules.
