Report fraud to authorities

If you’re in danger

When to report

• Physical harm, threats, or stalking

• Robbery, stolen items, or property damage

• Fraud, impersonation, or payment scams

• Sale of illegal, unsafe, or recalled items

How to report

• Contact local police or on‑site security using the emergency or non‑emergency line for your area.

• Tell them what happened—what, when, where, and who was involved.

• Share evidence—photos, videos, receipts, bank or payment records, chat screenshots, listing links, and the meeting location.

• Ask for a case number, and write down the officer or unit handling your report.

Tips to reduce risk

• Meet in a public, well‑lit place, and bring a friend

• Inspect and test items before paying

• Use traceable payment methods, and get a simple receipt

• Trust your instincts—walk away if something feels off
