As with any
popular online classifieds site
,
Kijiji has its share of
scammers, fraudsters, 419-ers
and other
online ne'er do wells
. The best tip for
Kijiji safety
is to use common sense. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If someone asks for more information than you're comfortable providing, don't provide it. With a little care, Kijiji is a safe and fun place to
view and post free online classified ads, see community events, garage sales
and so much more.
