They also need to choose buyer protection by using built-in payment options that release payment to the seller only upon delivery. "If possible, avoid making upfront payments or direct bank transfers to the seller because this method does not offer any protection," said the police.

Consumers should also be wary of sellers who offer better or faster deals in exchange for direct bank transfers. Such scammers may use local bank accounts or provide copies of identification cards or driver's licenses to prove their authenticity.
