5 Steps to a Secure iPhone 17 Pro Max P2P Sale on Allegro

5 Steps to a Secure iPhone 17 Pro Max P2P Sale on Allegro

1. Verify Buyer Legitimacy

Before proceeding, scrutinize the buyer's profile. Look for established accounts with positive ratings. Be wary of new accounts with limited history or those with consistently low feedback, as they may be associated with fraudulent activity.

2. Never Deviate from Allegro's Platform

• ✓ **The Fake Payment Link Phishing:** Scammers may send links via external messaging apps (like WhatsApp or SMS) that appear to be from Allegro, prompting you to enter payment details or confirm a transaction. Always conduct all communication and transactions directly within the Allegro platform.
• ✓ **Outside-System Bank Transfer:** Be extremely cautious if a buyer insists on conducting the transaction outside of Allegro's secure payment system. This bypasses buyer and seller protection, leaving you vulnerable.
• ✓ **Allegro Lokalnie 'Card Registration' / 'Fake Payment Link':** Scammers might try to lure you to external sites by claiming issues with payment processing or card registration on Allegro Lokalnie. They will ask for your card details under the guise of verification. Stick to Allegro's integrated payment methods.

3. Guard Against Payment Fraud

• ✓ **BLIK Code Fraud:** While BLIK is a convenient payment method, be aware that scammers can trick users into revealing BLIK codes or approving transactions under false pretenses. Never share your BLIK code with anyone, and always double-check transaction details within your banking app before approving.
• ✓ **Fake Receipt Scams:** Scammers may send fake payment confirmation screenshots. Always verify that the funds have actually arrived in your account before releasing the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Do not rely solely on screenshots provided by the buyer.

4. Authenticity of the Product

• ✓ **Counterfeit Electronics (Apple):** Ensure the iPhone 17 Pro Max you are selling is genuine. While this guide focuses on selling, be aware that counterfeit devices exist. For high-value P2P sales, consider offering proof of authenticity if possible (e.g., original packaging, serial number verification).

5. Utilize Secure Verification with Safe Trade Services

For high-value transactions like the iPhone 17 Pro Max, we highly recommend using Safe Trade Services' **Premium Plan** for identity verification. This adds an extra layer of security by verifying the identity of both the buyer and seller, mitigating risks associated with impersonation and fraudulent transactions.
