Safe Trading Zones

To help prevent fraud, the SPVM offers trading zones for those buying and selling online via Internet classified sites. These safe zones are spaces under video surveillance 24/7 that allow you to meet the people with whom an online transaction has been made and to exchange the goods sold.

This project was made possible thanks to the collaboration of Info-Crime Montréal.

Prevention tips for buying and selling online

  • Don't pay without ever seeing the goods.
  • Make an appointment in a public place (e.g. safe trading zone).
  • Take precautions to identify the seller.
  • If an ad looks too good to be true, it's probably a scam.

Anyone who may have been a victim of fraud is asked to go to their neighbourhood police station to file an official complaint.
