One of the tricks that scammers use to rob you of your money is to put time pressure you. For starters, they will advertise something at such a good price that it will attract a lot of potential buyers. Anyone who shows interest in the item will be told that there are many other people interested in it and that the only way to secure it is by paying a deposit or even the full amount before they\u2019ve even seen the product or confirmed the legitimacy of the sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This pressure does work because everyone likes a good deal. And the scammers know that. However, if you are in a hurry to secure the item, you are more likely to make a mistake or miss a red flag \u2013 this is exactly what scammers are hoping for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t rush into a sale right away. If something feels off about a seller, you are not under any obligation to buy and you shouldn\u2019t be pressured into buying something before all the safety boxes have been firmly ticked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, one way to protect from any scams is by using an escrow service such as Paysho whenever you want to buy or sell from Facebook, Instagram or online classifieds. Paysho gives you peace of mind with every purchase you make by ensuring that your money is protected from any scam. Whether you are buying online or offline, you can be sure with Paysho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
