Messaging on BidZoo allows buyers and sellers to ask questions about listings. However, users should remain cautious of potential scams.
Phishing is a scam where someone pretends to be BidZoo or another trusted user to trick you into sharing sensitive information, such as your account login, verification codes, or payment details. This often happens through fake emails, messages, or links that look like they’re from BidZoo but actually lead to fraudulent websites designed to steal your information.
Warning signs to beware
Be careful if another user:
- Ask you to complete payment outside of BidZoo (PayPal, Venmo, Cash App Crypto, etc.)
- Sends suspicious links for payment, shipping, or verification.
- Requests email, personal or financial information.
- Pressures you to complete a deal quickly outside the platform before or after any auctions are live.
How to stay safe?
- Only complete purchases through BidZoo’s checkout after winning in a live auction
- Do not click unknown links sent in messages
- Never share sensitive information
- Report suspicious users to BidZoo Support.
