Identifying and Stopping Scammers -

In the neverending battle with scammers who search the world over for classified web sites to scam people on, we have done a number of things here to block as much of it as possible.

The majority of scammers usually come from overseas - The easiest way to tell a scam is:

1.  They want you to "Ship" the item using a shipping company

2.  They have bad grammar, cannot spell, or say weird phrases (like "advert")

3.  They are sending you a Money Order or Cashiers Check

Simple rule: 

  #1 - Never accept a money order or cashiers check - ALWAYS ASK FOR A PERSONAL CHECK - THEN WAIT FOR IT TO CLEAR

  #2 - TALK TO THEM ON THE PHONE - If you do not talk to someone on the phone - Don't make a deal or give out your address

We have cut down recently on scamming activity by effectively banning all computers that appear to come from outside the US or Canada - But, some of these scams still come from inside the US -
