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.
