And law enforcers once again warn citizens against cheap goods on the Internet. It is advised to pay attention to the cost of the goods (as a rule, scammers set a much lower price than the real one), on the availability of feedback from other people and on the terms of publication of the advertisement. Usually offers from scammers "hang" on the resource for a short period of time, because they are systematically deleted and do not have reviews from other users of the service. In no case do not agree to a substantial advance payment, and for the goods you pay when you actually receive it. If the so-called seller persistently asks for a deposit, it is better to think several times about the possible consequences.
