Online classified advertising has emerged as a reliable and
popular way to advertise. Firstly, it doesn’t cost you money. Secondly, it
provides huge benefits to the sellers by allowing them to upload product
photographs, unlimited description and offers them the convenience of modifying
their ads even after they have been posted. However, when it comes to car classifieds, you must be really
careful. Thugs and scamsters are always on the lookout for local classifieds listings, since it gives them a chance to legally
enter people’s homes and take out all vital data.
Read on the following
tips to know more:
·
Always
call the buyer at a public place: You don’t want to be showing a stranger
your home and all your family members. Always call the prospective buyer at the
public place where people know you. Don’t call him/her near your office else the
buyer might visit there again and again in case of any fault that might arise
in future.
·
Check your
photographs before uploading: Make sure that you click a photograph of your
vehicle against a blank wall. See to it there are no windows in the photograph
from which your home or family members are being seen. Fraudulent activities
are really easy to carry out from photographs.
·
Use an
alternative number: When you put up stuff
for sale, avoid putting your official or home contact number. If you have a
spare phone that isn’t registered anywhere else, give that contact number. Else,
ask for contact details and contact the person using a public phone and give
your details only after being completely sure.
