How to avoid this scam

For this specific case there are several security recommendations. First of all, always be suspicious of any transaction, review the receipts and verify that they are the real ones and not altered designs.

It’s also critical to check the account balance and make sure the money went in. Only until you are sure of that, continue with the buying or selling process, because an image or text message is not enough to avoid falling into a scam.
