 How to Avoid Scams and Fraud
-Try to deal with people that you can meet in person. This
step alone will greatly reduce your chances of being the victim of a
scam or fraud.
-Do not accept payment for more than your asking price - with or
without the option to send the remainder back to the buyer.
-Don't assume a cashier’s check is valid just because it looks
legitimate. Banks will cash them but if a fake is found the bank
will hold you responsible.
-Beware of people claiming to be agents or representatives for others.
-Never give out personal or financial information about yourself.
-Avoid dealing with people that have prearranged shipping companies
or escrow services.
-Watch out for people saying they will guarantee your transaction.
-Inquiries from people far away, often in another country without the
ability to meet in person or if they are unwilling to meet, or from
individuals with broken English or little knowledge of proper spelling
and grammar, are often scams or fraud attempts.
-Seller offers to ship the item for partial payment first.
-Above all, please use common sense.
If the deal appears too good to be true, it often is.
-It’s a good idea to always verify the party you are dealing with
through other means to be sure of their legitimacy. A local phone
number is best.
