Fraudulent Third Party Sites

 
Kijiji does not have any partnerships with third party websites that facilitate transactions. Any website claiming to have an agreement with Kijiji where they facilitate transaction and payment via their website is fraudulent. These escrow sites will not provide you with the items after you have sent funds. The emails sent by fraudsters to persuade you to use their fraudulent website may look something like this: 


" Hello again,
The atv is in excellent condition, absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's very clean. The title is in the VRS Trading Post possession as well, already signed by me and notarized so they will be responsible for the title transfer. VRS Trading Post specialize in online consignment sales for individuals, businesses, and non-profit groups. The company website is www.vrstradingpost.com 
I left the atv in their possession last week and I just listed it recently on Kijiji. The fact that I'm not home will not affect the selling procedure through this service.

The process goes like this: if you agree with the atv description and price, you must register on their website and they will send you an invoice with the payment instructions and the transaction details. You send the payment to them and as soon as the payment is confirmed they will start the shipping process, which usually takes between 3 and 5 working days. As soon as you will receive the atv , a 10 Day money Back Guarantee starts (which is a standard guarantee for all items listed on Kijiji) and you can inspect it and see if it's everything you expected. This guarantee allows you to return the atv if by any chance something is wrong with it, my description was not accurate or I failed to specify something about it's condition. Basically you can return the atv with no questions asked and if that's the case the returning process will be free of charge for you, I will be held responsible for all costs. If you like the atv and accept it, then you'll sign that you accept it and they will transfer the payment to me.

 
I forgot to mention that the complete process is free of charge for you, the listed price on Kijiji already includes all the fees including the shipping and handling, so there is no reason to be scared for any extra fees, there are none. The process is very simple and secure, it may sound a little complicated because I had to explain the whole deal in details, it really isn't complicated at all. I hope you are still interested and if you would like to start the process you need to register at www.vrstradingpost.com. If that's the case please make sure you understand the process and read the terms and conditions listed on their website before you register. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have.

Thanks
PS: I am sorry for the long email but i couldn't explain the process in less words."
