	Most reputable payment systems offer a 2 step security process which makes this kind of fraud impossible eg PayPal, Apple. When selling for collection ca$h is safer for the seller.

	Whatever next? Advertising an item for sale online? If your buyer arrives to collect the item and offers to pay via banking app, beware. Fake banking apps are widespread. Someone with a fake banking app can make it look like they have transferred money into your account, but in reality you haven't received anything. You could be letting the "buyer" walk off with your items for nothing. Gloucestershire police have received several recent reports. Don't be the next.
