Fraud risks to know about
- Fake remote buyers: a profile insists on paying remotely and asks you to ship the item.
- Fake payment receipts: doctored Mobile Money screenshots while no funds were actually credited.
- Unlock-fee requests: a buyer claims the payment is "blocked" and asks for a fee.
Your golden rules
- Hand over in person, in a public and safe location.
- Check your balance yourself through your operator's official code — never trust an SMS or a screenshot sent by the buyer.
- Never deliver on credit, before being paid in full.
- Never share your Mobile Money PIN or your passwords.
