Safer Buying & Selling
Meet CarefullyUse a public, well-traveled location when practical, particularly when meeting someone you do not know.
Protect Personal InformationDo not publish financial-account information, government identification numbers, passwords or other sensitive private data.
Inspect Before PayingFor higher-value goods, verify condition, model numbers, ownership and included accessories before completing a transaction.
Watch for Payment ScamsOverpayments, requests to forward money, suspicious payment links and pressure to act immediately are common warning signs.
Vehicle DocumentationConfirm title, VIN, registration status and applicable New Jersey transfer requirements before buying a vehicle.
Pets Require Extra CareAnimal rehoming should prioritize welfare, lawful ownership, vaccination information and placement in an appropriate home.
NJTGO reminder: A classified listing is not an endorsement of the seller, buyer, product, service or transaction. Users should independently verify claims and use appropriate caution.
