From time to time we receive reports of attempted scams related to classifieds posts on the ConnYak website.
Often they involve fraudulent checks, including cashier's or bank checks, and rip-off transportation schemes.
Best practice is to transact sales on a cash only basis, with local pickup required (i.e. no shipping).
Be careful out there.
