How to Avoid a Fake Check Scam

• INSIST ON CASH

• Don’t accept a check for more than the selling price. You can bet it’s a scam.

SAR011149 • Inform the Buyer that you’ll wait two weeks before sending any merchandise.

• Never use money from a check to send gift cards, money orders, or wire money to strangers or someone you just met. Many scammers demand that you send money through money transfer services like Western Union or MoneyGram, or buy gift cards and send them the PIN numbers. Once you wire money, or give someone the gift card PINs, it is like giving someone cash. It’s almost impossible to get it back.

• Toss offers that ask you to pay for a prize. If it’s free, you It’s a GREAT shouldn’t have to pay to get it.
