You can sidestep would-be scammers by following
these common-sense rules:
* DEAL LOCALLY WITH FOLKS YOU CAN MEET IN
PERSON - follow this one simple rule and you will avoid 99% of the
scam attempts.
* NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN
UNION, MONEYGRAM or any other wire service - anyone who asks you
to do so is a scammer.
*FAKE CASHIER CHECKS &
MONEY ORDERS ARE COMMON, and BANKS WILL CASH THEM AND THEN HOLD
YOU RESPONSIBLE when the fake is discovered weeks later.
* YOULISTREALTY IS NOT INVOLVED
IN ANY TRANSACTION, and does not handle payments, guarantee transactions,
provide escrow services, or offer "buyer protection" or
"seller certification"
* NEVER GIVE OUT FINANCIAL
INFORMATION (bank account number, social security number, eBay info,
etc.)
* AVOID DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING
OR ESCROW SERVICES and know that ONLY A SCAMMER WILL "GUARANTEE"
YOUR TRANSACTION.
