The fake buyer who wants to purchase immediately
A common scam starts with an apparently enthusiastic buyer: they accept the price without negotiating, ask very little about the instrument and want to complete the deal immediately.
Unusual elements may then appear:
- a courier supposedly arranged by the buyer;
- a link to "receive" the payment;
- a request for you to advance money;
- emails imitating payment services;
- unnecessarily complicated procedures.
A genuine buyer can make a fast decision, but they should never need your security codes or require you to pay money in order to receive money.
If the process becomes difficult to understand, stop until every step has been independently verified through official channels.
