I don't want to be a victim of scam or fraud

How would i know if its a scam
A. Everyday, millions gets online and thousands are succesfully connected through Gofabby. Like the real world, many are genuine and so are the posers and fakes. There are a lot of scams that are happening online, and sadly, scammers have their own "convincing" scam. If the deal is too good to be true, it probably is. Aside from it, scammers will,
• Ask you to wire money into on International account. Seller may ask you to send payment overseas and will only accept Western Union or another money transfer service (e-Gold).
• Will not send additional pictures that you asked for.
• List an address that is different from the address on their item detail page.
• Recommend an unfamiliar escrow or payment service.
• Not be up front about the authenticity of items for sale.
• Will not provide you a verifiable telephone number.
• Will make elaborate excuses why they can't meet you in person.
• Try to convince you not to use payment services which offer protection (accepted services are those like Escrow.com & PayPal).
• Will repeatedly not answer phone calls or email.
• Continuously provide excuses about why you haven't received an item.
• Refuse to give you a working shipment tracking number.
• Sell an expensive popular item at a suspiciously low price.
• Will create a sense of urgency, pressuring you to finish the transaction fast.
How can i avoid scam or avoid being a victim of it?
Everyone has their own instinct, if you sense that its a scam, dont make the transaction. As much as possible, do the deal in person and do it in public. But since Gofabby is available in all countries, you might be having international buyers. We strongly suggest taking the following measure to protect and prevent yourself to fall in any sort of scam that scammers will do:
• Ask questions. Ask vital questions to the seller, the product they sell, the product's specification, etc, and if they fail to give you reasonable answers, it probably is. You should also ask for the seller's adress and telephone number and call him/her up at a random time to make sure he/she is receiving your calls. Honest sellers should be able to provide this information. Registered numbers is more trackable and hence less likely to be fraud.
• Limit personal information that you give. At any cost, never send any of your financial information to any individual or 3rd party, until you are satisfied with their credibility
• Evaluate the item you are gonna buy. It would be best if you do your own research about the product. Compare the product and its price to other Gofabby members or compare it to the market itself. If the price is to good to be true, it probably is. If you are going to meet the seller, its best to bring a friend with you. If the item you will purchase requires technical background that you might not have, bring someone who has the knowledge about the item.
• Don't send money to an individual you haven't met in person. Many fraudulent sellers only accept money by wire transfer, Money Gram, or bank transfer because buyers cannot get their money back and sellers cannot be tracked.
• In any event that you have to do the transaction not by cash, use a payment method with fraud protection and will able you to track your shipment.
