Avoiding scams and fraud

You can protect yourself from scammers by following these common-sense rules:

DEAL LOCALLY WITH BUSINESSES YOU CAN VISIT - follow this one simple rule and you will avoid 99% of the scam attempts on this site

NEVER WIRE FUNDS VIA WESTERN UNION OR MONEYGRAM - 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.

OFFICE GUILD 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/PayPal info, etc.)

AVOID DEALS INVOLVING SHIPPING OR ESCROW SERVICES and know that ONLY A SCAMMER WILL "GUARANTEE" YOUR TRANSACTION.
