Avoid Being Scammed

---

You can avoid being a victim of scam or fraud by following simple steps:

 

First deal with prospective customers that you can meet in person.

 

Second never wire funds via Western Union, Money gram or any other wire service.

 

Third there are many people who try to use Fake Cashier Checks and Money Orders. Your Bank will cash them and then hold you responsible months later when they discover they are fake.

 

Forth never give out any financial information such as a bank account or checking account number, social security number, eBay or Pay Pal information and any other financial account information you may have.

 

Fifth never deal with any potential customer from a foreign country 99.9% are fraudulent inquiries for the only purpose of ripping you off.

 

Sixth do not partake in any transaction that would involve you shipping your item or dealing with so called Escrow Services. Remember none of these transactions can be guaranteed.

 

 

To help you recognize Scams or Fraudulent Deals remember this:

 

Do not deal with people or companies from a foreign county (mostly third world countries)

Do not accept payment by Western Union, Money Gram, Cashier’s Checks, and Money Orders.

Do not ship your merchandise to any potential customer without payment and never involve yourself with any escrow service.

 

If a person refuses to meet with you in person or gives a reason why they cannot meet with you, treat it as a Scam.

 

 

Here are some Examples of Scams

 

Someone claims that Jewelrybuylines.Com will guarantee your transaction, that we certify a buyer/seller or Coin Collector, we do not. If there is a claim that JewelryBuyLines.Com provides protection of payment, we do not.

 

Someone who you are unable to have personal contact with offers to make payment with a cashier’s check, do not agree. There are many cashier checks and money orders that look and feel genuine but are not. Never get involved with wire transfers or any transaction where you have to send them back any information or check.

 

It is best to meet the person who you are dealing with; jewelry is usually a small item and can be carried with you anywhere. Make the transaction where you feel most comfortable.

 

Someone may introduce themselves as a Company with a reputable reputation, giving you the false feeling that they can be trusted more so then the average person trying to sell you or buy from you, do your homework check all leads possible to verify such a claim. Verification of such a claim can be cleared with the Better Business Bureau (www.bbbonline.org) if that is not available check all addresses and phone numbers given to you by the Company.

 

 Remember all types of identification shown to you by the prospective buyer can also be fraudulent it is best to deal with cash and carry only buyers.
