Protect Youself from Popular Online Classified Scams

With the internet becoming ever more popular each and every day, many internet users have been exposed or subjected to popular online scams that fraudulent parties use to rip-off and steal from everyday internet participants. Unfortunately, one area of the internet where scamming is especially prevalent is in the arena of online classifieds. Since most online classified communities are free, and consequently open to the public, scammers inevitably try to pose as legitimate classified listings in an effort to lure their next victim.

Online classified communities count on the action of users to help regulate suspicious listings. By becoming aware of the types of suspicious activity that scammers use in online classified marketplaces, users can help to create a more utopian online marketplace experience for all internet users.

Obviously, popular scams in the world of online classified advertising usually looks to steal something of value from an online user. This could include monies in the form of wired amounts or deposits paid or personal information in the form of banking or identity information. In the world of online scammers, no classified category is off-limits. Automotive listings are just as likely to potentially contain a scammer's listing as are listings for financial services. In order to protect yourself online, it is critical to educate yourself about popular scams so that you can be proactive about flagging listings that you come across that may look suspicious or risky for yourself or other classified users.

The Site Unseen Sale at Lower Price

For obvious reasons, one of the more popular forms of online classified scams involves the offer of a rare, popular or valuable product at a significantly reduced price. This could include a car for sale at drastically reduced prices, rare and exotic pets for low cost or other products that seem too good to be true. 

Safety Precautions with Online Classifieds

At A Classified Marketplace, we are constantly striving to create the most comprehensive and safe online community possible for our wide variety of visitors and users alike. One of the most important considerations to keep in mind when dealing with any online classified marketplace deals specifically with staying safe when dealing with local commerce initiated through the use of online classifieds. Staying safe when dealing with online commerce involves multi-faceted variables that must be addressed in order to promote your personal safety.

First, and most importantly, it is critical to always hold personal safety in the highest regard when dealing with strangers online. This includes meeting people in person and in public locations to minimize any risk of dealing with people you do not know personally. Second, it is necessary to think and act safely with respect to payment methods for any commerce transacted between parties that you do not know.

Most individuals who use A Classified Marketplace experience success with buying, selling, browsing and promoting on our online marketplace. However, as a part of our commitment to provide our users with the most personalized service available for online commerce, we have created this document to outline some of the guidelines that the general public should follow when dealing with strangers in online commerce situations in order to ensure personal and financial safety.

Ensuring your Personal Safety

The most important component when dealing with online commerce is to ensure personal safety when dealing with face-to-face transactions. For local commerce, most times it is imperative to meet with people to either inspect or pick-up the item for sale. In almost all cases, the person on the other end of the transaction is likely to be someone who you have not met previously. Due to this, it is imperative to protect yourself in all aspects of the local meeting.

Tips & Tricks for more Effective Online Classifieds

Make your Title Headline Grab the Attention of Viewers

When crafting your classified advertisement title, be sure to be descriptive with keywords that specifically relate to your ad and which provide better search results for interested parties.

Use popular search engines to do quick research on the item you are selling or promoting and write a descriptive headline that is short enough to keep people interested in your ad at a quick glance using keywords and phrases that accurately describe your promotion.

Use titles as a lead-in to get people to read further about what you have to offer. In accordance with this practice, make sure your title does not get too lengthy and off topic; stay on focus with what you have to offer to interested parties.

Highlight some of the important variables that will be of immediate interest to interested individuals. Some of the variables that you will want to focus on include: Color, Size, Price, Condition, Location and much more.

Here’s one example of an effective and attention grabbing headline:

Pristine Red Ferrari - 1975 - $25,000 OBO

Expand on your Title with an Accurate, Specific Description

Share the details of your specific listing within the description field for your classified ad. In the description field, outline the specifics of your listing in more detail by using text to paint an accurate picture of the item or promotion that you are creating online.

Be sure to include all the variables that would be of value for potential visitors to your classified posting. Describe the condition of your item in more depth or provide links to examples online so that your visitor can learn more about what you are offering and promoting.

On A Classified Marketplace, be sure to use HTML with the ad description area to provide visitors with links to your product, business or organization. Additionally, if at all possible add photos to the description area of the listing with HTML to give visitors to your online classified a more complete picture of what you have to offer to the local community.

Provide Accurate Location Information for any Applicable Listing

Are you promoting a local service or business with your listing? How can customers find you?

Be sure to include accurate location information for any classified listing that promotes a brick and mortar establishment.

Here at A Classified Marketplace, we have made inputting and mapping location variables within your classified listing a simple process. Simply input your location variables within the specific fields in the ad creation process and elect to map the location in your classified listing.

Marketplace Improvements Save you Time!

Do you need to save time with the creation of your online advertising?

Recently, AClassifiedMarketplace.com undertook a major restructuring of our online marketplace and the process by which our users create classified ads within our online system.

During the last few months, our users have provided us with the feedback that our original listing creation process was too long and time consuming to be truly effective. In our original configuration, our process to create a classified ad involved selecting a category from an extensive list that contained all of our classified subcategories.

As a result, users were forced to scroll through extensive categories that had no relevance to their actual listing topic.

In response to this, we recently revamped our online ad creation process to be more user-friendly and easier to use through the use of multiple dropdown menus to allow for easier, more targeted categorization of classified listings.  

With recent improvements complete, users can now easily select which topic best fits their classified ad from 5 simple choices of:

• For Sale Classifieds
• Community Classifieds
• Service Classifieds
• Personals
• Employment Classifieds

Once the most general category is selected, users can now easily choose a secondary subcategory to post in within one of these five "top-level" categories.

With this process improved, users can now easily create their listings in a snap by quickly and easily finding the best fit category for maximum online exposure.

Have you tried our new posting process at AClassifiedMarketplace.com?

Stop by the market today and start creating your free classifieds, personals and more with ease!

If you have any questions about the listing process at AClassifiedMarketplace.com, or if you have feedback which could make our community marketplace more efficient, please contact us today!
