Fake escrow or platform claim
The seller claims a platform, escrow, or admin requires payment outside the normal checkout.
What it looks like
- The seller claims a platform, escrow, or admin requires payment outside the normal checkout.
- The conversation usually moves toward sending money before enough verification.
Why it is risky
The risk is that payment becomes hard to reverse before you can confirm the seller, item, unit, ticket, or service.
Ask the seller this
Use the actual platform checkout or independently verify the claim inside the official app.
Safer options
- Use platform checkout when available.
- Choose COD or public meetup when practical.
- Keep screenshots of the listing, chat, and payment details.
