Back Fake Cashier Checks, Money Orders, Escrows and Western Union Overseas Sellers Scams are serious. Don't be a victim! Rule 1# - If it sounds to good to be true... It Is! Sellers: Don't believe anybody who tells you they will pay you more than your asking price! Scam artists prey on their victims by making offers that sellers can't refuse. They offer to purchase items at a price well over what the seller is asking. A fake money order or fake cashier's check that may look like it is being drawn from a reputable company. These checks are not legit! The buyer will usually asked to refund part of the overpayment. Example: • Your ATV, Automobile, Boat, Motorcycle etc. is for sale for $3000. • A buyer wants to have his friend, business partner, or employee send you $6000 because his friend or business partner owes him $3000. • You are supposed to cash his check for $6000 and then send the remaining $3000 to the buyer, usually by Western Union. • DO NOT DO THIS! It is a scam. You deposit the check and then send the buyer the extra $3000. The bank will eventually bounce the check or find it to be forgery and you lose your $3000 They don't want what you are selling, just the cash back - the goods are never collected. Buyers: MonkeyAds does not tolerate abuse of our system or any kind of fraudulent
or criminal activity. Any user suspected of such will immediately removed
from our system. However in common with all other sites of this type
we cannot possibly prevent all occurrences. • Do meet the buyer/seller and use cash as payment where possible. You can then see exactly what is being sold and get immediate payment. Do not Western Union cash if you cant be sure the seller is legitimate • Monkey Ads only recomends www.escrow.com. Note that some scammers direct you to untrustworthy escrow sites so only used well known and recognised escrow sites. • Do NOT pay money direct into someones bank account, Western Union cash or send them a check unless you are prepared to accept the risk that you will never receive whatever you paid for or it doesn't work, is incomplete or is not as described. |
