⚠️⚠️⚠️ Be-careful when you are buying/selling first/second hand stuff⚠️⚠️⚠️

Informing to all about buying/selling first/second hand stuff via social networks and want to give you awareness. People who sell products try to tempt you by keeping low prices to get attention from you. Please be careful with them because it might be a trap. (There are many people who lost their money by paying and ended with no products).

If you are selling, please don’t pay any amount from your end. In fact, you should receive money, but they tell you that they collect via courier, you pay the amount, and the delivery boy will give it to you. (Don’t believe their words.)

If you pay money without seeing the actual product, then lose hope of your money. Please pay the money after checking the product as you expected. Try to be more careful; this info is based on true stories that happened in and around Brussels. Please lodge a complaint against them at the police station near you. But don’t expect your money to be returned to you. I am providing this info based on true stories that happened in Brussels/Belgium.
