Avoid scams
and fraud
You can
diffuse would-be scammers by following these common-sense rules:
·
DEAL
LOCALLY WITH FOLKS YOU CAN MEET IN PERSON – follow this one simple rule and you
will avoid 99% of the scam attempts on ListyPosty.
·
NEVER
WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM or any other wire service - anyone who
asks you to do so is a scammer.
·
FAKE
CASHIER CHECKS & MONEY ORDERS ARE COMMON, and BANKS WILL CASH THEM AND THEN
HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE when the fake is discovered weeks later.
·
LISTYPOSTY
IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY TRANSACTION, and does not handle payments, guarantee
transactions, provide escrow services, or offer "buyer protection" or
"seller certification"
·
NEVER
GIVE OUT FINANCIAL INFORMATION (bank account number, social security number,
eBay/PayPal info, etc.)
·
AVOID
DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING OR ESCROW SERVICES and know that ONLY A SCAMMER WILL
"GUARANTEE" YOUR TRANSACTION.
