Use a Safe Zone When Buying or Selling on Craigslist in Weld County
If you have ever tried to sell or purchase something online and then meet in person to do the transaction, you know it can be a scary thing. Weld County now has a safe zone for it.
The Weld County Sheriff's Office are offering their administrative offices as a place to meet in a safe zone to conduct your transactions.
WCSO personnel will not participate or even act as an official witnesses during the transactions.
It is probably a safe bet that if someone doesn't want to meet at the Safe Zone, it might be a red flag that it may not be a good idea to conduct business with that person. However that choice is yours of course.
The following Sheriff’s Office facilities are available as safe transition zones during business hours:
- Headquarters, 1950 “O” Street, Greeley, Colorado 80631. Open from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
- Southwest substation, 4209 Weld County Road 24 1/2, Del Camino 80504. Open from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
- • Southeast substation, 2950 9th Street, Fort Lupton, Colorado 80621. Open from 10 am to 2 pm, Monday through Friday.
It also goes without saying that anytime you do an online transaction you should always be cautious as to what people are asking about or for. As a good rule of thumb you should probably have someone with you as well just as a witness or a safety net.
Unfortunately there are some bad people out there that shine a bad light on the good people. Either way it is good to be cautious.
