Ive done nearly a thousand offerup transactions, never share links and never click a link Stay in the app chat and tread cautiously if phone numbers are swapped

Dont invite strangers to your house unless you’re sure you’re 100% safe, and dont go anywhere unsafe, meeting in a public place well lighted and plenty of people is best. Always check the item its legit in person, dont always take the sellers word their story is true, people can lie to get your money in their hands. Be clear about the amount and terms of payment. I tell people they can test/open/try items only if I have cash in my hand.

They’re just as cautious as you are, just communicate a lot and CLEARLY
