Safety and Scam Prevention

Meet and transact carefully

Meet in a public place during daylight when practical. Tell someone where you are going, inspect goods before paying, and do not carry unnecessary cash. Never send verification codes, gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, deposits, or advance fees to an unverified stranger.

Be cautious of urgent stories, overpayments, shipping agents, remote vehicle purchases, requests to leave the platform immediately, or prices that are far below market. Oro Valley Post does not hold funds, guarantee transactions, certify sellers, or provide escrow.

If a situation appears dangerous or criminal, stop contact and notify the appropriate authorities. Use the report function for suspicious listings.
