How can I protect myself from being scammed?

1. Check Feedback

Whenever you want to deal with a vendor, don't forget to look at the "feedback" section. It aids in verifying the individual's dependability. Reviews are left by customers who have dealt with a specific vendor in order to tell other customers about their experiences. Before closing a deal, take a moment to read reviews. Any experience you have, please share it with other consumers — they will be grateful.

Ensure you start and end your deals on FMT marketplace. Make payments using our payment gateways (See payment channel support for more details)
