Fraud Alert Section:
Please be wary of fraudsters who try to buy goods or services from you by either requesting your bank details or sending you bankers draft or cheques usually of higher amounts than the cost of your goods then asking you to send back to them the over payment amount. This is a fraudulent transaction! The Draft or Cheque will clear but will eventually be deducted from your account by the Bank and the bank may pursue criminal proceedings against you! Please do not partake in this form of transaction.
Take Great Care:
1. Trade locally and face to face if possible.
2. Conduct CASH transactions whenever possible.
3. Speak on the phone with potential buyers/sellers prior to meeting.
4. Do not send money via wire transfer.
5. If you are meeting up with a stranger, inform a relative or close friend of your movements or better yet go with a friend!
6. Do not part with your goods until you receive payment.
Above all, use your instincts.
If a transaction sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!! |
