Check PTA Status for Phones
Dial *#06# on any phone to get the IMEI number. Verify it on the PTA website before buying.
Verify Serial Numbers
For electronics, check the serial number on the manufacturer website. If it does not match, walk away.
Inspect Packaging
Original products have consistent printing, proper seals, and matching serial numbers on box and device.
Price Too Low? Be Cautious
If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Compare prices across multiple sellers.
Meet and Inspect Before Paying
Never pay in advance. Always inspect the item in person at a public location.
Check Seller History
Look at how long the seller has been a member and how many ads they have posted. Established sellers are generally safer.
