Technology is one of the fastest growing valuable tools in our society with so many advantages and disadvantages as well. Now people instead of wasting more time and money by selling their unwanted items, they use online platforms like OLX and Gumtree. Opportunist have since saw this platforms as a way to make money by robbing innocent people through this. That's why you need to be careful about this whenever you are selling or buying anything from this online platforms because you will never know if you have met the wrong or good ones.
Mostly when buying you must ask for receipts or personal information so that should it backfires in the future, you have something to prove your innocence. I found myself in the problem after buying an amplifier from someone I don't know after realising and told that the equipment was a stolen property through online platforms. So you see how dangerous this could be? Because now I'm dancing for a tune created by someone who is out of the picture. When selling on OLX never allow transfers, just deal with cash. And when buying request for receipts or personal information.
