Resolve discrepancies before committing access or funds.
Copied advertisements, changed contact details, inconsistent application records and unfamiliar payment instructions deserve verification. Use your approved listing record and independently confirmed channels to clarify the facts.
Keep the payment and key-handover process documented. Do not refund an unexplained overpayment or redirect funds based only on a message; verify the transaction through the appropriate financial provider.
