Safety Tips for Gumtree Users
* Be wary of buyers asking to use 'Gumtree delivery' or 'Payments on Gumtree' because Gumtree doesn't offer these services currently. Requests from WhatsApp or SMS could be scams.
* Only access Gumtree from gumtree.com and do not follow links sent by other users.
* Share photos and ask lots of questions about the items you are buying and selling.
* If an ad or reply sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
* Use the 'Reply to ad' button for your safety and privacy.
* Don't reply to email addresses hidden in text and pictures.
* Trade in person, and use PayPal's 'paying for an item or service' option to transfer money.
* Beware of fake Gumtree, eBay, or escrow sites and invoices.
