Safety Tips about Marketplace Exchange Meetups 📱 ⇄ 💵

Recently we have seen an increase of theft/deception offences committed during marketplace exchange meetups involving high value mobile phones/electronical items.

We would like to provide some safety tips about marketplace exchange:

- Meet at a safe place during the daytime, preferably at a dedicated "Safer Exchange Site", or at a police station near you, or a busy public place covered by CCTV cameras.

- If practicable, consider not to invite strangers to your home address.

- Count cash and examine goods carefully, to avoid receiving counterfeit money/fake goods.
