Again scam description will not be long or have proper explanation of the item, this is because scammers don’t like wasting time on one thing and they don’t know what to write about the item. their description will likely be very short e.g “Nigeria used Camry L200, buy and drive home. for more details call Dr Micheal”.

Any seller that tells you he is in abroad or not in where the item and required you to call someone to process some papers before the item can be given to you is a scammer.

Any seller who couldn’t let you come to his house or office direct to access the item is a scammer.

Any seller who post every day of different items such as cars, phones, laptops, air conditional is likely to be a scammer, in other hands he or she maybe a legit Telemarketer.
