WARNING!
New Internet scam attacking ALL web ads !!
The fraudulent
"buyer" offers MORE money than you're asking, and instructs
seller to FORWARD
secured payment to a separate address. By the time the smoke clears,
you're out the excess they were
offering you. If you receive an offer of this nature, DO NOT
TAKE IT!!!
We care about all
our advertisers, if you are not sure about a buyer's
offer please e-mail
us and we will advise you.
Be cautious when dealing with individuals or companies from
outside
your own country.
Just because you
receive a “Cashiers Check”, check with your bank and
the issuing bank
to make sure the check is legitimate and not stolen, fake or washed.
When you receive a
check for more than the agreed amount, ITS A SCAM
!!!!!
Do not send the “Overage” back to the buyer.
The check sent to you is a bogus cashiers check!
Make sure you are selling to a reputable source.
Do your homework on the individual or company you’re selling to, make
sure they’re legitimate.
Be cautious when
dealing with individuals/companies from outside your
own country.
Try to obtain a physical address rather than merely a post office box
and a phone number,
call the buyer to see if the number is correct and working.
Send them E-mail to
see if they have an active E-mail address and be
wary of buyers who
use free E-mail services where a credit card wasn't required to open
the account.
Consider not
selling to buyers who won't provide you with this type
of information.
Be cautious when dealing with individuals/companies from outside your
own country.
Be cautious when responding to e-mails that sound to good to be true.
Consider utilizing
an escrow or alternate payment service when selling
your boat.
Use common sense.
Be cautious when
dealing with individuals/companies from outside your
own country.

COUNTERFEIT
CASHIER'S CHECKS
During the last few
years we have all seen a dramatic increase in the
number of ways that some
people try to steal from us. One of these new "tricks" is to present
fake cashiers checks for the
payment of goods purchased over the internet.
If you receive a cashier's check under the following circumstances:
In payment for an
item you advertised for sale over the Internet or
via our web site
Limos4sale.com.
The check is for more than your sale price.
You are asked to buy money orders for the cash difference and send the funds to a shipper or agent.
You are probably
the victim of a counterfeit check fraud.
NOTICE!
Advances in technology
have made it possible for
criminals to produce counterfeit cashier checks on
laser printers.
For maximum safety, verify the
authenticity of a cashiers check with the issuing bank
before accepting
it as payment for your boat.
Please do not send money back to the buyer via
Western Union or
bank wire until you are 150%
sure the check is authentic.
