MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Since its inception Geebo has prided itself and pushed itself to provide a better, safer, and more streamlined online classified platform for its users. Consistently, and without hesitation, consumer safety has always been at the forefront. Geebo’s latest innovation continues this tradition.
Beginning in late 2018, Geebo’s staff began monitoring ad responses made through the Geebo platform. Doing so gave Geebo the ability to pinpoint where ad responses were generated – whether domestically and abroad. An overseas reply alerted Geebo that there was an increased chance that a scammer was the replying party. This oversight has increased the security and reliability that Geebo users have come to count on.
Unlike other sites which rely on user policing, Geebo’s trained staff monitors each ad for potentially fraudulent or illegal activity. This proactive approach is designed to give Geebo user’s enhanced safety and peace of mind as they post, review, and respond to online classifieds posted to Geebo.
“As Geebo has grown, so too has our desire to provide users with protection and security in the ever-changing online classified landscape. The increase in online scams, both international and stateside, necessitate forward-thinking actions to curb the potential impact and devastation on consumers. The reality of this concern spurred this recent development and expedited implementation. Safety for consumers and merchants remains our top priority,” said Geebo founder, Greg Collier.
