Tips for staying safe

Before you meet

• Meet in a public place, ideally during the day.
• Inspect the phone in person — check the IMEI, screen, battery health, and that it isn't reported lost or stolen — before paying.
• Never send an advance payment to a seller you haven't met or verified.

Watch out for

• Prices that seem too good to be true.
• Buyers or sellers who pressure you to skip the usual checks.
