Orientate yourself to the SHS rule:

 

✅ Question: Change your perspective: Take on the role of the other person. Why is the buyer or seller acting the way they are? For example: Why would someone sell an item that is in high demand at particularly favorable conditions?

✅ Protect: Have you noticed something suspicious or suspect attempted fraud? Report suspicious processes or users to the relevant platform.

You should also file a complaint if you have been the victim of fraud yourself.
