The Classified Ads section - please read

[Mark]

Welcome to the new Glenrothes classified ads section - if you've got something to sell, or have a service to offer, please feel free to stick an advert in this section - local businesses are welcome to stick special offers up too.

Because this sort of service is open to everybody (you don't even need to register on the forum to post) it's also open to potential scam merchants, so it's caveat emptor all the way: buyer beware and don't hand over any money until you see the item advertised.

Since we're a local site and most adverts should be local, we strongly advise you to trade face to face rather than mucking about with online payments etc.

The Glenrothes Spoon site doesn’t offer any sort of buyer protection or payment programs so make sure you're absolutely happy with anything you're buying before you hand over the cash.

All in all, hopefully this'll be a useful service and to help you out here are a few top tips to make sure you get the best out of it.

• When buying or selling, you should meet in-person to see the item and exchange money.
  
  
• Never send your item before receiving the money.
  
  
• Never send or wire money to sellers or buyers.
  
  
• Take special care when buying expensive items.
  
  
• Never provide your personal or banking information to others over the internet.
  
  
• Report to us any attempted fraud or suspicious emails, ads, or other activity by posters. We'll ban them from the forum and take it to the police if necessary.
  
  
• Use common sense. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
  

Thanks for reading,
