Shop safely: avoid online scams
Often, scammers create websites or profiles with names that are similar but slightly modified.
Follow our tips for safe purchases.
Beware of those who:
• Do not allow you to view the goods before purchase.
• Contact you privately to propose deals or exclusive sales.
• Sell directly without going through online auctions.
• Ask you to hurry up.
• Claim to sell in pre-auction asking for money advances. We only ask for the deposit payment through the portal as an advance.
• We do not contact you via Facebook Marketplace, Autoscout24, Subito.it, or WhatsApp to sell goods without verified company references.

• Gather all evidence: emails, payment receipts, screenshots of conversations.
• Report the incident to the authorities: you can contact the Postal Police or the Carabinieri.
• Report the fake site or profile to platforms like Meta (Facebook, Instagram) and Google.
