Introduction

In today’s digital marketplace, not every listing is what it seems. At BestYourBuy, we’re committed to helping vendors and buyers stay safe. Here’s how to spot fake or scam listings — especially when vendors only use WhatsApp or Viber.

 Common Red Flags

• No website or social media links
• Generic profile photo or empty status
• Pressure to pay quickly
• Offers that seem “too good to be true”
• Unusual international numbers for local listings

• Use reverse phone lookup tools like Zlookup or WaTools
• Check WhatsApp/Viber profile for real name and photo
• Ask for a quick video call to confirm identity
• Search their name or business online for reviews

What to Do If You Suspect a Scam

• Don’t send money or share personal info
• Report the listing to BestYourBuy’s support team
• Block the number if it feels unsafe
• Share this guide with others
