Important Fraud
Prevention Tips
- Please note, Atvquadswap.com
does not offer "Payment Protection" services or "Verified Seller"
services of any type.
- Never accept a cashier’s
check that is over the price of the item on sale.
- Do not assume that because the
bank has cashed the check for you, it is a legitimate check. Cashier checks
take 30 days or more to determine if they are legitimate.
- Be wary of solicitations that
offer to pay you more than asking price and offer to have the shipper pick
the item up or have you drop it off at a shipping center
- Be more suspicious if you are
requested to handle a transaction through a wire transfer.
- Be aware of individuals posing
as a representative of a client.
- Call the seller to see if the
number is correct and working.
- Reconsider doing business with
individuals who are reluctant to answer your questions.
- Take precautions when dealing
with individuals/companies from outside your own country.
- Watch out for individuals who
only want to communicate via e-mail.
- Try to obtain a physical address
rather than merely a post office box and a phone number.
- Make sure you are purchasing merchandise
from a reputable source.
- Inquire about returns and warranties.
- When purchasing a vehicle outside
of your local area, consider utilizing an escrow or alternate payment service.
- Don't give out your credit card
number(s) online unless the site is a secure and trusted site. Sometimes a
tiny icon of a padlock appears to symbolize a higher level of security to
transmit data.
- Before using the site, check out
the security/encryption software it uses.
Make sure the transaction is secure when you electronically send your credit
card numbers.
- Email the seller to see if they
have an active email address and be wary of sellers who use free email services,
such as yahoo.com.
- Check with the Better Business
Bureau from the seller's area.
- Check out other web sites regarding
this person/company.
Be guarded when responding to special offers (especially through unsolicited
email)
- The safest way to purchase items
via the Internet is by credit card because you can often dispute the charges
if something is wrong.
- You should also keep a list of
all your credit cards and account information along with the card issuer's
contact information. If anything looks suspicious or you lose your credit
card(s) you should contact the card issuer immediately.
