FTC Tips to Avoid Scams!

The Federal Trade Commission offers the following tips to avoid scams:

• Confirm the buyer's name, street address and telephone number.
• Don't accept a check for more than the selling amount.
• Consider alternative methods of payment such as an escrow or online payment service.
• If you accept a check, insist on one drawn on a local bank or a bank with a local branch.
• If the buyer insists that you wire back funds, end the transaction immediately.
• If a buyer attempts to pay with a winning check from a foreign lottery, end the transaction immediately.
• Resist pressure from the buyer to act immediately. An offer good today should be good after the check clears.

We undergo different kinds of transactions almost everyday and what seems to be just a simple purchase can lead to us being getting victimized by fraudulent people.
