2. Quick Safety Tips

3. Safety Tips for Buyers

• Check the product thoroughly: Test electronics, check furniture quality, and verify documents for vehicles or property.
• Do not pay in advance: Avoid sending money before receiving the item. Scammers often ask for advance payment.
• Ask for original bills: For expensive items like phones, laptops, or jewellery, ask for the original receipt and warranty card.
• Compare prices: If the price is much lower than the market, be cautious. It may be a scam or a defective product.
• Take someone with you: If possible, take a friend or family member when you go to meet the seller.

4. Safety Tips for Sellers

• Be clear in your ad: Write a detailed and honest description. Include clear photos and mention if there are any defects.
• Set a fair price: Research the market and price your item reasonably. This attracts genuine buyers.
• Meet in a safe place: Choose a public location for the deal. Avoid inviting strangers to your home.
• Accept cash or UPI: Use secure payment methods. Avoid cheques or bank transfers from unknown buyers.
• Trust your instinct: If a buyer seems pushy or avoids answering questions, it is okay to say no to the deal.

5. Red Flags to Watch Out For

• Too good to be true: Extremely low prices for high-value items are often scams.
• Pressure to act fast: Scammers often say "urgent sale" or "limited time" to make you decide quickly without thinking.
• Requests for personal info: Do not share your bank details, OTP, or other sensitive information with anyone.
• Vague answers: If the buyer or seller avoids giving clear answers or details, it is a warning sign.
• No photos or fake photos: Be suspicious of ads with no photos or images that look copied from the internet.

6. Online Payment Safety

• Use trusted UPI apps: Use Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, or other verified apps for payments.
• Check before paying: Always verify the UPI ID or phone number before sending money.
• Never share OTP: No one from OK Free Post or any platform will ask for your OTP. Keep it private.
• Use cash for local deals: For in-person deals, cash is often safer and simpler.
