Safety tips

For buyers

  • Always see the item before you pay. Never pay a deposit to “hold” something for you.
  • Meet in a busy public place such as a shopping centre, or at a police station during the day. Take someone with you.
  • For vehicles, check the VIN and engine number against the papers, ask for the registration certificate, and consider a police clearance and a roadworthy test.
  • For rentals, view the property in person and never pay a deposit before you have signed a lease and met the landlord or agent.
  • Be careful with prices that seem too good to be true.

For sellers

  • Only hand over the item once the money shows in your own banking app. Proof-of-payment emails and SMSes can be faked.
  • Never share an OTP, PIN or password. SmousPlek will never ask for them.
  • Be wary of buyers who offer to overpay and ask for the change back, or who want to send a “courier”.
  • Don’t let strangers into your home alone. Show items at the gate or in a public place where possible.
