SAFE EXCHANGE FOR ONLINE TRANSACTIONS
​
Keep in mind that the Greenville Police Department offers a safe exchange zone in front of their police department located at 200 Court St, Greenville.
​
The majority of Craigslist users, Trash & Treasurer users and others selling items online are trustworthy and well-meaning. Nevertheless, please take the same common sense precautions online as you would offline. 
When meeting someone to make an exchange, please remember to: 
    • Insist on a public meeting place like a cafe, bank, or shopping center, or our Headquarters building. 
    • Do not meet in a secluded place, or invite strangers into your home. 
    • Be especially careful buying/selling high value items. 
    • Tell a friend or family member where you're going. 
    • Take your cellphone with you, if you have one. 
    • Consider having a friend accompany you. 
    • Try to conduct your transaction in the daytime. 
    • Only carry the cash you need for the transaction. 
    • Trust your instincts.
