Stay safe and keep control
Use in-context report actions when something feels off, and manage blocked users here anytime. The most common problems are pressure, payment tricks, fake urgency, and unsafe meetup changes.
Common scam red flags
Slow the deal down when any of these show up. Real local buyers and sellers should be able to inspect, verify, and keep details clear in chat.
Requests for deposits, gift cards, crypto, wire transfers, or Zelle before you inspect the item.
Pressure to move the conversation off Lootable right away or continue only by text, WhatsApp, Telegram, or email.
Messages asking for six-digit verification codes, identity codes, or links that do not clearly belong to Lootable.
Excuses for why the seller or buyer cannot meet locally, inspect the item, or show proof of ownership.
Safer meetup basics
Meet in a public place and bring a friend when possible.
Confirm the item condition before you pay or mark the exchange complete.
Keep important details in Lootable messages so there is a record if support is needed.
Meetup safety checklist
Check these off before you head out so the handoff stays safer and easier to document.
How suspicious behavior gets escalated
Immediate caution
Requests for deposits, verification codes, or risky payment arrangements before inspection should be treated as high-risk and reported right away.
Fast moderation review
Listings with copied photos, proof mismatches, repeated report patterns, or misleading pricing can be held while moderation checks the account history.
Repeat-offender escalation
Accounts that collect repeated reports, review abuse complaints, or suspicious meetup outcomes can move into tighter review and reduced visibility.
Payment and title safety
Inspect the item first, then exchange payment in person when possible.
For vehicles or high-value items, verify VIN, title, serial numbers, and ownership before money changes hands.
Do not accept screenshots as payment proof. Wait for confirmed funds using a payment method you understand.
If someone changes the payment method at the last minute, slow down and verify everything again.
If you are hosting a Local Sale
Use approximate addresses publicly and share exact directions only when you are comfortable.
Ask shoppers to message in-app if they want to confirm timing, parking, or availability.
Remove or hide the sale post when the event ends so strangers do not keep arriving.
If something feels wrong
Protect yourself first. Documentation helps, but your immediate safety matters more than finishing the deal.
If you feel unsafe, end the conversation or meetup immediately.
Use the in-app report and block actions so the account and listing stay connected to the report.
If there is an immediate threat, theft, assault, or active fraud attempt, contact local law enforcement or emergency services first.
