Introduction

• Online auctions have become big business, with millions

of items for sale at any given time. 

• People across the world currently make a living selling

items through Internet auction houses.

• One reason for their incredible growth and popularity is

that they make it easy for people to find great deals on

goods that are hard to find all around the world.

• The excitement also makes them prime hunting grounds

for scam artists, ready to play on the desire many auction

bidders have for that unbelievable deal.

• Scammers have become extremely sophisticated with

the tools they use to trick consumers into opening their

wallets.

• National Consumers League’s Fraud Center has

received multiple reports of scammers creating realistic

Web sites, emails, and hotlines.

• All designed to fool unsuspecting consumers into

believing they are dealing with a legitimate business

• Use caution and common sense with any online

transaction.

• While many online sellers are legitimate, unfortunately

scammers can use the anonymous nature of the internet

to rip off unsuspecting shoppers.

Beware of Scammers

Double-Check The Company’s Information

• A known name or brand on email, a letter or

mentioned over the phone doesn’t guarantee that the

deal is legitimate. 

• Scammers, to gain trust, often pretend to be from well-

known companies.

• Find the company’s contact information independently,

online or through directory assistance, and contact it

yourself to verify the information.

Understand How Online Auctions Work

• Make sure you know the procedures regarding the

payment and delivery of purchased items.

• Familiarize yourself with the trade at the Online Auction

Learning Centre and read the Chris Bowser reviews 

 and Adam Bowser reviews.

• An immediate red-flag is if you get an email or call

asking you to do something outside of standard

operating procedures

Understand PayPal’s Procedures

• Emails from PayPal will always address you by your

first and last name

• Or the business name associated with the account,

according to PayPal’s fraud FAQ.

• Watch out for emails addressed to you any differently.

 Inform Auction Sites And Payment Services About Suspected Fraud

• They have policies to remove sellers or buyers

from their sites.

• If they don’t live up to their obligations.• All terms and conditions will be mentioned and

shown while you are signing to their sites.

  Try Mediation To Resolve Disputes

• Most times not all problems are due to fraud.

• Sometimes, either of the end simply fail to hold up their

side of the bargain in a timely manner or there may be

an honest misunderstanding. 

• There exist third-party mediation services that help users

resolve disputes.

        

Check Out The Seller Or Buyer

• Most auction sites have feedback forums, where you can

read comments about the sellers based on other

people’s experiences.

• Many sites also allow sellers to review buyers, which can

provide pertinent information about a buyer who

consistently creates payment issues .

• These people can be avoided.

Conclusion

• Furthermore avoid any arrangement with a stranger.

• People who asks for up-front payment via money

order, wire transfer, international funds transfer, pre-

loaded card or electronic currency.

• It is very difficult to recover money sent with these

means. 

• Never send money or give your credit card or online

account details to anyone you don’t know or trust and

never so by email.

• For further information and to familiarize oneself with

the Insider Online Secrets read and go through Chris

Bowser Scam reports.
