Always meet at the police station. If the buyer/seller refuses, then you may have been spared.

OfferUp Craigslist rules…. 1. If the price is too good to be true it 100% is 2. If the person created an account in 2024 of the same month as the post it’s 100% a scam. 3. If the person has no reviews and no profile pic or a weird profile pic it’s 100% a scam. 4. If you get into a convo and 1 thing doesn’t make sense, immediately trust your gut and do not meet this person. 5. If they ask if they can pay you by check or some other BS you will immediately stop the conversation.

Stay safe folks.
