How to avoid being scammed?

So, what is the best way to recognize and avoid being scammed when you are looking to purchase poultry from someone reputable? Facebook just freaked me out a bit.

I don't buy birds, or eggs from Facebook(Never actually bought through Facebook), unless I know the seller/Breeder, I know one who sells Asils that's also on Ebay. Planning in buying from him once I start getting good money again.

From what I've heard/seen, Facebook chicken/poultry scammers often have the word Farm/Farms in their user name.

But that doesn't mean all with Farm/Farms are all scammers though, but will make deciphering real from fake harder.

Thank you for your reply. I think I will give Facebook a wide berth. I am just not sufficiently knowledgeable to sort out the good from the bad.

Avoid Facebook in general but always run a search on the name.
Npip?
Is the website sketchy?
