Safety Tips

The best way to pay is Cash on Delivery.

Be wary of users who have a poor grasp of English; most scams originate overseas.

Be extremely wary of sellers who do not want to use the messaging centre, or meet in person.

Do not pay using Western Union or any other untraceable payment options.

Avoid communicating via email; use the Locanto messaging centre.

Avoid carrying more cash on you than required.

Protect your personal details and initiate communication using our contact form.

The more questions you ask, the more you know.

Be careful; if it seems too good to be true, it most likely is.

Arrange a safe place to meet to complete a transaction.

Report any suspicious ads or messages.

If an item must be mailed, insist the seller uses registered post.
