This is a rule of thumb, not a verdict. A clean result doesn’t prove a buyer is genuine, so keep all messages and payments on the platform either way. Read the full scam guide for how each scam works.
FAQ
A buyer wants to continue on Telegram, WhatsApp or Snapchat. Is that a scam?
Treat it as one. Stay on the platform, report the account and block it. A genuine buyer can pay you where they found you.
A buyer sent me a form to fill in. What should I do?
Don’t fill it in. Buyers don’t need forms, ID or codes from you to pay. If you’ve already filled one in, follow the recovery steps.
Does a low-risk result mean the buyer is safe?
No. It only reflects what you ticked, so keep all messages and payments on the platform either way.
