WHEN BUYING OR SELLING...

Beware of fraudulent fake overseas 'sellers' replying to your 'WANTED' ad especially - they may email you to tell you that they have what you are looking for (and may even send photos) and will then ask for payment via Western Union / MoneyGram or similar - you will receive nothing.

In other words do not use Western Union, MoneyGram or similar to make a payment ever.

Making a large purchase? See the goods in person first.
