How to avoid being scammed
It is a sad truth that dishonest people will use open communication platforms like
Mike’s Classic Cars to try to steal money from people. Americans loose millions of
dollars every year from online scams--people pretending to sell something with
no intention of delivering it.
Here are some steps that you can take to avoid being scammed:
- Never send money to anyone via Western Union, Paypal, or any other service in which
money is simply delivered to the recipient. If you cannot make the transaction in person,
use an escrow service
- Notify Mike’s Classic Cars immediately if you observe any suspicious behavior.
- Inspect the vehicle personally before paying for it.
- Check the vehicle VIN number for theft and accident history.
