Kijiji: Buy & Sell, find deals for Android

I heard the rumors of scam on this platform and it comes true someone scammed me through this famous platform. Anyone anytime can create a ID on this website just using an email even a fake one. There is no verification for the user so it allows scammers to make fool especially foreigners by adding photos of someone’s apartment, room, stationery then ask for deposit to secure it and then vanish.No reply of messages or calls. No proper way if communication between customer to customer but just messages. Students especially coming from foreign countries should be careful and aware of this platform this is the hub of scam in Canada. And the help center all have to say that its not our policy to secure your transaction all we are doing is to showing you options of your choice.

Kijiji always works wonders for me. Great community. Sell great items to good people.

I like the app and it works as supposed to. I had to remove it from my devices because it shows too many ads and their are positioned in a way to make the app hard to use. I get there are ads in free apps, but they do not need to get in the way.

I don’t know why this is even available to download. This ONLY WORKS IN CANADA. So, unless maybe you live near the border? But otherwise worthless app.

I recently contacted their support desk to try to report a scam I had, and was told that the report has to be initiated by the seller confirming the buyer. So basically if a seller deliberately cheats on the buyer and deletes the ad without identifying it’s a sell, then the seller will never get reviewed and there’s no other way for the victims to speak out, which confirmed by their agent. This company designs policy only to protect the scams but not the buyers. Will definitely delete this app and use other platform or bbs.
